Frequently
Asked Questions
WHAT SHOULD I DO IF...
... THERE IS NO HEART RATE READING?
1. Check that the elastic strap is snug 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.
Care and maintenance.
4. Check that there are no sources of electromagnetic
radiation in the close vicinity of the Polar wrist receiver,
such as TV sets, cellular phones, CRT monitors etc.
Precautions.
5. Have you had a cardiac event which may have altered
your ECG waveform? In this case consult your
physician.
...HEART SYMBOL FLASHES IRREGULARLY?
1. Check that your Polar wrist receiver is inside the
transmission range and not further that 1 metre/ 3 feet
from the Polar transmitter you are wearing.
2. Check that the elastic strap has not become loose
during exercise.
3. Make sure that the electrodes of the transmitter are
moistened.
4. Make sure that there is no other heart rate transmitter
within the reception range (1 metre/ 3 feet).
Precautions/Crosstalk.
5. Cardiac arrythmia may cause irregular readings. In this
case consult your physician.
CROSSTALK
The non-coded Polar wrist receiver picks up transmitter
signals within 1 metre/ 3 feet. Therefore, when you are
using your Polar Heart Rate Monitor make sure no other
transmitter is within that range. Signals from more than
one transmitter picked up simultaneously can cause an
incorrect readout.
EXERCISE EQUIPMENT
Several pieces of exercise equipment with electronic or
electrical components such as LED displays, motors and
electrical brakes may cause interfering stray signals. To
try to tackle these problems relocate the Polar wrist
receiver as follows:
1. Remove the Polar Transmitter from your chest and use
the exercise equipment as you would normally.
2. Move the receiver around until you find an area in
which it displays no stray reading or flashing of 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 the chest and keep the
receiver in this interference free area.
4. If the Polar Heart Rate Monitor still does not work with
the exercise equipment, this piece of equipment may
be too noisy electrically for wireless heart rate
measurement.
Notice for persons with pacemakers
Persons who have a pacemaker use the heart rate
monitor of Polar Electro Oy at their own risk. Before
starting use we always recommend an exercise stress test
under doctor’s supervision. The test is to ensure the safety
and reliability of the simultaneous use of the pacemaker
and the heart rate monitor.
