Attach the negative electrode to the girth using a rub- ber strap and tighten the girth. If you are riding with a loose girth, you can place a sponge behind the nega- tive electrode to insure contact with the skin.
7.How to attach the T54H transmitter on the horse
First of all, identify the 2 electrode pads on each side of the transmitter. The electrode with velcro on the back is the positive electrode and logically the
other electrode is the negative electrode. In the middle, you’ll find the WearLink transmitter pocket.
The | transmitter picks up very small electrical |
impulses emitted by the heart and for the transmitter to read the heart rate properly, we need to insure a good contact to the horse’s skin. Make sure you wet the electrodes properly, the integrated sponge will keep up some moisture, but you still need to wet to horse’s coat, especially as your horse is not yet sweating. If your horse has a thick winter coat, you can shave the spot where you will place the electrodes, this will greatly improve the heart rate signal quality.

Place the positive electrode under the saddlepad,on the left or right side of the withers. Ensure that the electrode is flat against the horse’s skin. The rider’s weight will keep the electrode in place
8. Caring of your product
Like any electronic device, the Polar training computer should be treated with care. The suggestions below will help you fulfill guarantee obligations and enjoy this product for many years to come.
Detach the transmitter connector from the strap and rinse the strap under running water after every use. Dry the connector with a soft towel. Never use alcohol or any abrasive material (steel wool or cleaning chemicals).
Wash the strap regularly in a washing machine at 40ºC/104ºF or at least after every fifth use. This
ensures reliable measurement and maximizes the life span of the transmitter. Use a washing pouch. Do not soak,
Attach the WearLink transmitter into the transmiter pocket and close it. This pocket protects your transmit- ter from shocks and scratches and prevents it from fal- ling off the transmitter.
Dry and store the strap and the transmitter connector separately. Wash the strap in a washing machine before
Operating temperatures are
9. Starting training
You are now ready to start. Starting from the time display, press OK twice.
The stopwatch starts, a heart symbol blinks and the horse’s heart rate is displayed in the bottom of the screen.
Each display shows 3 rows of data and is named after the bottom row.
To check the data you are most interested in, change display by pressing UP or DOWN. (5 dif- ferent displays are available : Heart Rate, Dis- tance, Speed, Lap Time, Stopwatch)
You can also zoom on a data to make it larger on the display.
Press and hold UP for 2 seconds to zoom in the data of the top row, or DOWN for 2 seconds to zoom in the data of the bottom row. Press and hold the same button for 2 seconds to zoom out.
To stop the exercise, press STOP twice. The RS300X returns to time display.
All the data has been recorded and can be re- trieved in the file. To access the file, press UP once from time display and then validate by pressing OK.
