power transmission lines or other such
devices that generate powerful magnetic
fields located in the area of equipment
usage. If one of your associates has a
Polar heart rate monitor, if possible,
borrow it for a while to check if that unit
works properly in the area of exercise
equipment. If it does not and it works
outside or another area of the house, the
location is very difficult for wireless heart
rate measurement and the equipment
should be moved to another location.
g) Receiver has broken down for some
reason.
Question 3:
Irregular heart rate reading
Answer 3:
a) The most common reason for irregular
readings especially at the beginning of
exercise session is that there is no
proper connection between skin and the
electrodes of transmitter. To ensure a
proper connection, electrodes should be
wetted prior to exercising.
b) Elastic strap is too loose allowing
transmitter to move during exercise.
c) Ensure that there is no anyone else
wearing a transmitter in the reception
area of your receiver. If there are other
transmissions close to you crosstalk may
appear, unless you are using the coded
Products Polar products.
d) Pacemaker and other implanted
devices may change the electrical
characteristics and operation of heart so
that transmitter detects several beats
instead of one beat.
e) Some people have a reversed ECG
signal compared to normal a ECG signal
possibly causing a transmitter to send
two pulses for each heart beat. Please
turn transmitter upside-down.
f) Interferences. Electrical equipment
such as monitors, motors, LED displays,
transformers switches, cellular phones
etc. generate electromagnetic noise
which may cause missing or extra pulses
resulting in incorrect heart rate reading.
