GETTING GOING
1. Attach the Polar Transmitter
to the elastic strap.
2. Adjust the strap length
to fit snugly and comfortably.
Secure the strap around your
chest, below the chest
muscles. Lock the buckle.
3. Raise the transmitter a little
off your chest and wet the
grooved electrode areas
on the back of it. It is
important that the electrodes
are wet during exercise.
4. Check that the wet electrode
areas are firmly against your
skin and the Polar logo is in
a central upright position.
5. Wear the wrist receiver as you would wear an ordinary watch.
Alternatively, if you go biking, you may attach the wrist receiver
to a Polar Bike Mount™.
Polar Books and accessories, page 28.
Keep the wrist receiver within the transmission range
(3 feet/ 1 meter).
It is recommended that you wear the transmitter
against your bare skin to ensure flawless operation.
However, if you wish to wear the transmitter over a
shirt, moisten the shirt well under the electrodes.
