POLAR CS600 - Manual (Page 50)

Disturbance may occur near high-voltage power lines, traffic lights, overhead lines of electric railways,
electric bus lines or trams, televisions, car motors, bike computers, some motor-driven exercise
equipment, cellular phones, or at electric security gates. Microwave ovens, computers and WLAN base
stations may also cause interference when exercising with CS600. To avoid erratic readings, move
away from possible sources of disturbance.
Exercise equipment with electronic or electrical components such as LED displays, motors and
electrical brakes may cause interfering stray signals. To solve these problems, try the following:
1. Remove the transmitter from your chest and use the exercise equipment as you would normally.
2. Move the cycling computer around until you find an area in which it displays no stray reading or
does not flash the heart symbol. Interference is often strongest directly 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 cycling computer in this interference-free
area as much as possible.
If the cycling computer still does not work with the exercise equipment, it may be electrically too noisy
for wireless heart rate measurement.
Minimizing Risks When Exercising
Exercise may include some risk. Before beginning a regular exercise program, it is recommended that
you answer the following questions concerning your health status. If you answer yes to any of these
questions, we recommend that you consult a doctor before starting any training program.
• Have you been physically inactive for the past 5 years?
• Do you have high blood pressure or high blood cholesterol?
• Do you have symptoms of any disease?
• Are you taking any blood pressure or heart medication?
• Do you have a history of breathing problems?
• Are you recovering from a serious illness or medical treatment?
• Do you use a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device?
• Do you smoke?
• Are you pregnant?
Note that in addition to exercise intensity, medications for heart conditions, blood pressure,
psychological conditions, 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 exercise. If you feel unexpected pain or
excessive fatigue when exercising, it is recommended that you stop the exercise or continue at a lighter
intensity.
Notice to individuals with pacemakers, defibrillators or other implanted electronic devices. Individuals
who have a pacemaker use the Polar cycling computer at their own risk. Before starting use, we always
recommend a maximal exercise stress test under a doctor’s supervision. The test is to ensure the safety
and reliability of the simultaneous use of the pacemaker and the Polar cycling computer.
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, but moisten the shirt well under the electrodes to
ensure flawless operation.
The combined impact of moisture and intense abrasion may cause a black color to come off the
transmitter’s surface, possibly staining light-colored clothes. If you use insect repellent on your skin, you
must ensure that it does not come into contact with the transmitter.
