FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS
What should I do if...
...THERE IS NO HEART RATE READING?
1.Check that the elastic strap is tight enough.
2.Check that the electrodes of the Polar Transmitter are moistened and that you are wearing it as instructed.
3.Check that you have kept the Polar Transmitter clean. See care and maintenance.
...HEART SYMBOL FLASHES IRREGULARLY?
1.Check that your Wrist Receiver is inside the transmission range (1 metre).
2.Check that the elastic strap has not become loose during exercise.
3.Make sure that the electrodes of the Polar Transmitter are moistened.
...THE DISPLAY IS BLANK OR FADING? Have the batteries checked. See Service.
...HEART RATE READING BECOMES EXTREMELY HIGH (above 200)?
When exercising with your Polar Beat Heart Rate Monitor you may come within range of other strong electromagnetic signals, causing the heart rate readings to elevate to abnormal levels. Common sources of electromagnetic signals are televisions, computers, cars, TV antennas, high voltage power lines and exercise equipment that is motor driven. Signals from more than one Polar Transmitter within the 1 metre transmission range

will also cause incorrect readings. Check your surroundings and move away from the source of interference.
...EXERCISE EQUIPMENT IS CAUSING INTERFERENCE?
This interference can usually be overcome by relocating the Receiver:
1.Remove the Transmitter from your chest and use the exercise equipment as normal.
2.Move the Receiver around until you find an area in which it displays no reading. Interference often comes from directly in front of exercise equipment display boards, while to either side of the boards there is no interference.
3.Put the Transmitter back on and keep the Receiver in this interference free area. Continue exercising normally.
TECHNICAL DATA
•Polar Heart Rate Monitor is designed to indicate the level of physiological strain and intensity in sports and exercise. No other use is intended or implied. Heart rate is displayed as number of heart beats per minute (bpm).
•battery type: CR 2025
•water resistant to 20 metres
•Accuracy of heart rate measurement: ± 1% or
± 1 beats per minute, whichever larger, definition applies to steady state conditions
