Operation
7.5.1
POLAR Belt and POLAR Transmitter
Moisten the electrodes (the two finned rectangular areas on the bottom side) carefully before
use. To provide optimal contact with the skin you can use a contact gel as it is used in ECG
measurements. Adjust the belt below the chest muscle so that it has close but comfortable
contact with the skin. The belt must not loosen during workout. Check the proper orientation
of the belt – you must be able to read the POLAR logo when looking at it.
Make sure that the two electrodes are not buckled. Heart rate measurement is only possible
with correct alignment of the chest belt. Otherwise “E” is displayed (error or no signal). In this
case check the correct position of the chest belt.
Clean the transmitter, especially the electrodes, after the workout using warm water and mild
soap. Dry them thoroughly. Never brush the electrodes! Do not use alcohol for cleaning!
Operation Range of the POLAR Transmitter
The operation range of the emitter is approx. 80 cm. If you have more than one ERGO-FIT
exercise machine make sure to keep a distance of at least 100 cm between the machines to
avoid interference of the transmitters.
Note: We cannot guarantee for medically correct heart rate values, but the obtained values
are a good basis for a safe workout.
POLAR Transmitter Battery
If heart rate measurement is only possible within a very short distance between transmitter
and receiver or is not possible at all you should check the batteries (operation time appr.
2500 hours).
