2. EXERCISING
This chapter contains information on how to start to use your heart rate monitor for the first time, and how to wear the transmitter.
Before you start exercising it is recommended that you set your target heart rate limits and alarm. For further information, see Heart Rate Limits chapter on page 18.
2.1 MEASURING YOUR HEART RATE
To measure your heart rate you need to wear the transmitter.
Check that you are not near other people with heart rate monitors or any source of electromagnetic disturbances (for further information on interference, see the Precautions chapter on page 21).
1.Attach one end of the transmitter to the elastic
strap.
2. Adjust the transmitter’s strap length to fit snugly and comfortably. Secure the strap around your chest, just below the chest muscles, and buckle the strap to the transmitter.
3. Lift the transmitter off your chest and moisten the two
grooved electrode areas
on the back. Check that the wet electrode areas are firmly against your skin and that the Polar logo is in a central, upright position.
4. Wear the wrist unit as a watch.
