PRECAUTIONS
MINIMIZING POSSIBLE RISKS
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.
l Have you been physically inactive for the past 5 years?
l Do you have high blood pressure or high blood cholesterol?
l Do you have symptoms of any disease?
l Are you taking any blood pressure or heart medication?
l Do you have a history of breathing problems?
l Are you recovering from a serious illness or medical treatment?
l Do you use a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device?
l Do you smoke?
l Are you pregnant?
Note that in addition to training intensity, medications for heart conditions, blood pressure, psychological con-
ditions, 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 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 Cardio GX sys-
tem at your own risk. Before starting use, take a maximal training stress test under the supervision of a phy-
sician. The test is to ensure the safety and reliability of the simultaneous use of the pacemaker and the Polar
Cardio GX system. If you are allergic to any substance that comes into contact with your skin or if you sus-
pect 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 con-
tact with the transmitter.
