...OTHER PERSON WITH HEART RATE MONITOR IS

CAUSING INTERFERENCE?

Your training partner may have coincidentally activated

exactly the same code as you. In this case keep distance

to your training partner or proceed as follows:

1. Stop the stopwatch and heart rate measurement.

2. Take the transmitter off your chest for 10 seconds.

3. Put the transmitter back and start the heart rate

measurement again.

... HEART RATE READING BECOMES ERRATIC OR

EXTREMELY HIGH?

You may have come within range of strong electromagnetic

signals which cause erratic readings on the wrist receiver

display. Check your surroundings and move further away

from the source of disturbance. Precautions.

memory values and settings will return to the default

checked. Service.

... THE BATTERY OF THE WRIST RECEIVER MUST

BE REPLACED?

We recommend having all service done by an authorized

Polar Service. This is especially necessary to ensure the

warranty remains valid and is not affected by incorrect repair

procedures done by an unauthorized agent. Polar Service

will test your wrist receiver for water resistance after battery

replacement and make a full periodic check of the complete
