Exercising; How To Put Your Transmitter On And Start Recording Your Exercise Data - Polar Electro F4TM User Manual

3. EXERCISING

To measure your heart rate, you need to wear the transmitter.
The wrist unit records the exercise information (date, duration,
time spent in target heart rate zone, average heart rate,
maximum heart rate and expended calories) during your
exercise session.
Note: The default settings of the target heart rate limits are calculated
according to your Basic Settings. You can learn more about target heart
rate zones in the section Target Heart Rate Zone on page 46. This
information will help you to exercise at the right level. For further
information on how to set the target heart rate limits, see the section
How to Change Settings on page 43.
3.1 HOW TO PUT YOUR TRANSMITTER ON AND
START RECORDING YOUR EXERCISE DATA
Keep the wrist unit within 3 feet/1 meter of your transmitter.
Check that you are not near other people wearing heart rate
monitors or any source of electromagnetic disturbance. For
further information on interference, see the section Precautions
on page 49.
