...heart symbol flashes irregularly?
1. Check that the wrist receiver is not further than 3 feet/1 meter
from the transmitter.
2. Check that the elastic strap is snug (but it doesn't need to
be overly tight).
3. Make sure that the electrodes of the transmitter are
moistened.
4. Make sure that there is no other heart rate transmitter within
3 feet/1 meter.
5. Cardiac arrhythmia may cause irregular readings. In this case
consult your physician.
...another student with heart rate monitor
is causing interference?
Your training partner may have exactly the same code as you. In
this case proceed as follows: Keep a distance from your training
partner and continue your training session as before.
Or
1. Take the transmitter off your chest for 30 seconds. Keep a
distance from your training partner.
2. Put the transmitter back and bring the receiver up to your
chest near the transmitter's Polar logo. The receiver starts
looking for a heart rate signal again. Continue your training
session as before.
...heart rate reading becomes erratic or extremely high?
You may have come within range of strong electromagnetic
signals which cause erratic readings. Check your surroundings and
move further away from the source of disturbance. Interference is
much more likely if the HRM is receiving a non-coded heart rate
signal. In the Measure mode, look at the heart in the lower left
corner. A heart with the frame
heart rate. A heart without a frame
transmission. If non-coded, move away from the disturbance and
take the transmitter off your chest for 30 seconds, and start your
exercising again.

...the display is blank or fading?
If the display is blank, activate the wrist receiver by pressing the
OK button twice, after which the Time of Day display appears.
The first sign of a discharged battery is the battery symbol on the
display. Have the batteries checked.
...there are no reactions to any buttons?
Reset the heart rate monitor. The RESET button is a small recessed
button, located on the left side of receiver. Your watch settings
will revert back to the factory defaults, but all other settings and
the latest exercise file will be saved.
1. Press the RESET button with a pen tip. Display will become full
of digits.
If you don't press any button after reset, within one minute
the wrist receiver will automatically go to the time of day
display.
2. Press any of the buttons once. The Time of Day is displayed.
...the battery of the wrist receiver must be replaced?
We recommend having all service done by an authorized Polar
Service Center. This is especially necessary to ensure the guarantee
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.
However, if you wish to change the battery yourself, please
follow the instructions in the Care and Maintenance section of
this manual.
