Notice to persons with pacemakers, defibrillator or other

implanted electronic device. Persons who have a pacemaker use the Polar running/cycling computer 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 running/cycling computer.

If you are allergic to any substance that comes into contact with the skin or if you suspect an allergic reaction due to using the product, check the listed materials in the "Technical specifications" chapter. To avoid any skin reaction risk with the transmitter, wear it over a shirt. However, moisten the shirt well under the electrodes to ensure flawless operation.

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.

Your safety is important to us. The shape of the foot pod is designed to minimize the possibility of it being caught. Anyhow, take caution when running with the foot pod for example in brushwood.
