...other person 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 normally.

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 normally.

...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.

...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. Also the digits fade when the backlight is used. Have the batteries checked.

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 authorised Polar Service Centre. This is especially necessary to ensure the warranty remains valid and is not affected by incorrect repair procedures done by an unauthorised 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.

…there are irregular speed, distance or heart rate readings?

You may have come within range of strong electromagnetic-signals, which cause erratic readings. Check your surroundings and move away from the source of disturbance.

Another cyclist may have caused crosstalk with a Polar Speed Sensor. Keep a distance of at least 1 metre/ 3 feet between your wrist receiver and the Polar Speed Sensor of the other cyclist.
