If you have a pacemaker, defibrillator or other implanted

electronic device, you use the Polar FT40 at your 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 FT40.

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. If you use insect repellent on your skin, make sure that it does not come into contact with 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 wrist unit 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 wrist unit in this interference-free area as much as possible.

If the Polar FT40 still does not work, the piece of equipment may be electrically too noisy for wireless heart rate measurement.
