Wear the WearLink

®

+ Hybrid Transmitter

Wear the transmitter to measure heart rate.

1.

Wet the electrode areas of the strap under
running water.

2.

Attach the connector to the strap. Adjust the
strap length to fit tightly but comfortably.

3.

Tie the strap around your chest, just below the
chest muscles, and attach the hook to the
other end of the strap.

4.

Check that the wet electrode areas are firmly
against your skin and that the Polar logo of the
connector is in a central and upright position.

Detach the connector from the strap after every use, to
maximize the transmitter battery lifetime. Sweat and moisture
may keep the electrodes wet and the transmitter activated.
This will reduce the transmitter battery life.

See detailed washing instructions in Important
Information chapter.
