...other person with heart rate monitor is causing interference?
Your training partner may have exactly the same code as you. In this case
proceed as follows: Keep a distance from your training partner and
continue your training session normally.
Or
1. Take the transmitter off your chest for 30 seconds. Keep a distance from
your training partner.
2. Put the transmitter back and bring the receiver up to your chest near
the transmitter’s Polar logo. The receiver starts looking for a heart rate
signal again. Continue your training session normally.
...heart rate reading becomes erratic or extremely high?
You may have come within range of strong electromagnetic signals which
cause erratic readings. Check your surroundings and move further away
from the source of disturbance.
...the display is blank or fading?
If the display is blank, activate the wrist receiver by pressing the OK button
twice, after which the Time of day display appears. The first sign of a
discharged battery is the battery symbol on the display. Also the digits fade
when the backlight is used. Have the batteries checked.
...there are no reactions to any buttons?
Reset the Polar heart rate monitor. Resetting clears watch settings which
will return to the default settings. User information and measuring units
settings will be saved.

are wearing it as instructed.
2. Check that you have kept the transmitter clean.
3. Check that you are not near other people that have heart rate monitors,
high voltage power lines, televisions, mobile phones or other sources of
electromagnetic disturbance.
4. Have you had a cardiac event which may have altered your ECG
waveform? In this case consult your physician.
...the code search was not successful?
The frame around the heart symbol will disappear. Bring the receiver up to
your chest near the transmitter’s Polar logo. The receiver starts looking for
a heart rate signal again. If you still do not succeed in code searching, but
your heart rate is displayed and the heart symbol without a frame is
flashing, you can start exercising but your wrist receiver may become
disturbed by other heart rate monitors.
...heart symbol flashes irregularly?
1. Check that the wrist receiver is not further than 1 metre/ 3 feet from
the transmitter.
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 1 metre/ 3
feet.
5. Cardiac arrhythmia may cause irregular readings. In this case consult
your physician.
