Troubleshooting - Polar Electro FT1 User Manual

ENGLISH
Note that in addition to training intensity, medication for heart conditions, blood pressure, psychological
conditions, asthma, breathing, etc., as well as some energy drinks, alcohol, and nicotine may also affect
heart rate.
It is important to be sensitive to your body's responses during training. If you feel unexpected pain or
excessive fatigue when training, stop the training session or continue at a lighter intensity.
If you have a pacemaker, defibrillator or other implanted electronic device, you use the training computer
at your own risk. Before starting use, take a maximal training stress test under the supervision of a
physician. The test is to ensure the safety and reliability of the simultaneous use of the pacemaker and
the training computer.
If you are allergic to any substance that comes into contact with your skin or if you suspect an allergic
reaction due to using the product, check the listed materials in Technical Specifications . To avoid any
skin reaction to the transmitter, wear it over a shirt. Moisten the shirt well under the electrodes to ensure
flawless operation.
The combined impact of moisture and intense abrasion may cause a black color to come off the
transmitter's surface, possibly staining light-colored clothes.
If you use insect repellent on your skin, make sure that it does not come into contact with the transmitter
or the training computer.
Exercise equipment with electronic components may cause interfering stray signals.
To tackle these problems, try the following:
1. Remove the transmitter from your chest and use the exercise equipment as you would normally.
2. Move the training computer around until you find an area in which it displays no stray reading or does not
flash the heart symbol. Interference is often worst right in front of the display panel of the equipment,
while the left or right side of the display is relatively free of disturbance.
3. Put the transmitter back on your chest and keep the training computer in this interference-free area as
much as possible.
If your training computer still does not work, the piece of equipment may be electrically too noisy for
wireless heart rate measurement.
