8. PRECAUTIONS

The Polar cycling computer shows your performance

indicators. It indicates the level of physiological strain

and intensity during your exercise. It also measures speed

and distance when cycling with a Polar speed sensor. The

Polar cadence sensor is designed to measure cadence when

cycling. No other use is intended or implied.

Disturbances may occur near high voltage power lines,

trafﬁ c lights, overhead lines of electric railways, electric bus

lines or trams, televisions, car motors, bike computers, some

motor driven exercise equipment, cellular phones, or when

you walk through electric security gates.

Training may include some risk. Before beginning a regular

training program, answer the following questions concerning

your health status. If you answer yes to any of these

questions, consult a physician before starting any training

program.

• Have you been physically inactive for the past 5 years?

• Do you have high blood pressure or high blood choles-

terol?

• Do you have symptoms of any disease?

• Are you taking any blood pressure or heart medication?

• Do you have a history of breathing problems?

• Are you recovering from a serious illness or medical

treatment?

• Do you use a pacemaker or another implanted electronic

device?

• Do you smoke?

• Are you pregnant?

In addition to exercise intensity, medications for heart con-

ditions, blood pressure, psychological conditions, asthma,

breathing, etc., as well as some energy drinks, 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
