POLAR FT40 - Manual (Page 33)

If you have a pacemaker, defibrillator or other implanted
electronic device, you use the Polar FT40 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 FT40.
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. If you use insect repellent on your skin, make
sure that it does not come into contact with the
transmitter.
Exercise equipment with electronic components may
cause interfering stray signals.
To tackle these problems, try the following:
1. Remove the transmitter from your chest and use the
exercise equipment as you would normally.
2. Move the wrist unit around until you find an area in
which it displays no stray reading or does not flash 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 your chest and keep the
wrist unit in this interference-free area as much as
possible.
If the Polar FT40 still does not work, the piece of
equipment may be electrically too noisy for wireless heart
rate measurement.
