Troubleshooting

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 Polar FT7.

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 perfume or insect repellent on your skin, you must ensure that it does not come into contact with the training computer or the transmitter.

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 the Polar FT7 still does not work, the piece of equipment may be electrically too noisy for wireless heart rate measurement.

Water Resistance of the Polar FT7 Training Computer

Polar FT7 may be worn when swimming. To maintain water resistance, do not press buttons under water. For more information, visit http://www.polar.fi/support. Water resistance of Polar products is tested according to International Standard ISO 2281. Products are divided into three categories according to their water resistance. Check the back of your Polar product for the water resistance category, and compare it to the chart below. Please note that these definitions do not necessarily apply to products of other manufacturers.

If you don't know where you are in the menu, press and hold BACK until the time of day is displayed.

If there are no reactions to any buttons or the FT7 displays unusual readings, reset the training computer

by pressing four buttons (UP, DOWN, BACK and LIGHT) simultaneously for four seconds. The display will go blank for a moment. Press OK and Please enter basic settings will shortly be displayed. Enter time and date. With long press BACK the display returns to time of day view. All other settings except time and date will be saved.

If the heart rate reading becomes erratic, extremely high or shows nil (00), make sure that there are no other heart rate transmitters within 1 m/3 ft and that the transmitter strap/the textile electrodes fit snugly and are moistened, clean and undamaged.
