If you are allergic to any substance that comes into contact with

the skin, check the Polar heart rate monitor materials from the “Technical specifications” chapter. It is recommended that you wear the transmitter against your bare skin to ensure flawless operation. However, if you wish to wear the transmitter over a shirt, moisten the shirt well under the electrodes.

Notice to persons with pacemakers, defibrillator or other

implanted electronic device. Persons who have a pacemaker use the Polar heart rate monitor at their own risk. Before starting use, we always recommend an exercise test under doctor’s supervision. The test is to ensure the safety and reliability of the simultaneous use of the pacemaker and the heart rate monitor.

The combined impact of moisture and intense abrasion may cause a black color, which might stain light-colored clothes especially, to come off the transmitter's surface.
