How to Put Your Heart Rate Monitor On
The elastic strap
holds the transmitter
in the correct position.
The Polar A1™
wrist receiver
displays your heart
rate during exercise.
The Polar transmitter
detects your heart rate
and transmits it to the
wrist receiver.
1. Carefully wash the transmitter with a mild
soap and water solution.
2. Rinse it with pure water.
3. Dry the transmitter carefully with a soft towel.
4. Keep the wrist receiver clean and wipe off
any moisture.
5. Store the heart rate monitor in a clean
and dry place. Dirt impairs the elasticity
and functioning of the transmitter.
Sweat and moisture can keep the
electrodes wet and the transmitter
activated, which shortens battery life.
The combined impact of moisture and intense
abrasion may cause a black colour, which
might stain light-coloured clothes especially,
to come off the transmitter's surface.
You can stop the file recall by pressing
the button.
If you want to recall your file later, press and
hold the button when OFF is displayed.
After that the
wrist receiver
turns off. The average heart
rate and the total
exercise time are
shown twice.
