... OTHER PERSON WITH HEART RATE MONITOR OR
EXERCISE EQUIPMENT IS CAUSING INTERFERENCE?
Make sure there are no disturbances such as high voltage power
lines, televisions, cellular phones, cars, cycle computers, exercise
equipment or other people with heart rate monitors near you during
the code search. The benefit of the coding is that you will not
normally pick up other people's heart rate transmission and certain
kinds of disturbances are more efficiently filtered. However your
training partner may have coincidentally activated exactly the
same code. In this case you have the following alternatives:
1. Keep a distance from your training partner and continue your
training session normally
or
2. Stop the heart rate measurement (
measurement), pull the transmitter off your chest for 15
seconds (code will be changed) and restart from the beginning
( Start the heart rate measurement.).
In some cases you may need to dry the transmitter electrodes to
ensure that the transmitter is turned off again, as the sweat may
keep it active even when it is off the chest.
... THERE ARE NO REACTIONS TO ANY BUTTONS?
Reset the Polar Heart Rate Monitor. Resetting clears all memory
values and settings will return to the default settings.
1. Press the reset button with a pen tip.
Display becomes full of digits.
2. Press any of the four buttons once.
Polar Accurex Plus enters the Time of day display.
... THE DISPLAY IS BLANK OR FADING?
Usually the first sign of a discharged battery is the disappearance
of the digits when using the backlight. Have the batteries checked.
Service
... IF THE BATTERY OF THE WRIST RECEIVER MUST
BE REPLACED?
We recommend having all service done by an authorized Polar
Service. This is especially necessary to ensure the warranty
remains valid and is not affected by incorrect repair procedures
done by an unauthorized agent. Polar Service will test your wrist
receiver for water resistance after battery replacement and make a
full periodic check of the complete Polar Heart Rate Monitor.
