In addition to exercise intensity, medications for heart conditions, blood pressure, psychological conditions, asthma, breathing, etc., as well as some energy drinks, drugs, alcohol, and nicotine may also affect heart rate.
It is important to be sensitive to your body’s responses during exercise. If you feel unexpected pain or excessive fatigue when exercising, it is recommended that you stop the exercise or continue at a lighter intensity.
Note! If you are using a pacemaker, you can use Polar training computers. In theory interference to pacemaker caused by Polar products should not be possible. In practice no reports exist to suggest anyone ever having experienced interference. We cannot however issue an official guarantee on our products’ suitability with all pacemakers or other implanted devices due to the variety of devices available. If you have any doubts, or if you experience any unusual sensations while using Polar products, please consult your physician or contact the implanted electronic device manufacturer to determine safety in your case.
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. In case of any skin reaction, stop using the product and consult your physician.

Exercise equipment with electronic components may cause interfering stray signals.
To tackle these problems, try the following:
1.Remove the heart rate sensor 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 heart rate sensor back on your chest and keep the training computer in this
If your training computer still does not work, the piece of equipment may be electrically too noisy for wireless heart rate measurement.
