E N G L I S H
It is important to be sensitive to your body’s responses
during training. If you feel unexpected pain or excessive fatigue when training, stop the exercise or continue at a lighter intensity.
If you have a pacemaker, defibrillator or other implanted
electronic device, you use the Polar FT60 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 FT60.
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.
