POLAR Heart rate measurement system
Pay attention to the safety instructions in the instruction manual. Stop training immediately if
feeling sick or dizzy and see your doctor. In the case of interference do not rely on the indicated
values of the wireless heart rate transmission. Precision of heart rate measuring: + / - 1 %, resp.
+ / - 1 beat per minute. Pay attention to the advices about safety and warnings and possible
interferences in the chapter errors, technical data, EMC, and installation of this manual.
WARNING: Heart rate monitoring systems can be inaccurate. Incorrect and/or forbidden use
and/or overtraining can lead to serious injury or even death. If you feel close to fainting, the
training has to be stopped immediately.

Note from POLAR for patients with pacemaker
The expert´s report from the Pacemaker-Institute in Rothenberg / Germany stated, that a negative influence or
danger for patients with implanted pacemakers is impossible. (Pacemaker-Institute, Rothenberg Süd 18, 82431
Kochel am See / Germany). Nevertheless we recommend all patients with pacemakers to consult their doctor
before using the POLAR heart rate measurement system.

Chest belt and transmitter
You can use all POLAR transmitters (coded and un-coded) with your running machine. For running machines of
generation 4.0 with firmware-version lower than V 3.01.1 an EPROM update is available for the use of coded
transmitters. Note: Even with using the coded senders the transmission of the heart rate to the treadmill is still un-
coded.
The models h/p/cosmos locomotion and h/p/cosmos pulsar and h/p/cosmos venus and h/p/cosmos saturn have
the POLAR W.I.N.D. transmitter with WearLink technology and coded transmission.
The transmitter is only activated if placed correctly on the body. The chest belt is washable. In this case loosen the
belt from the transmitter. Please take care not to crush the two electrodes of the belt. After having loosened the
transmitter off the belt, wash the belt and especially the electrodes with warm water and mild soap. Do not clean
the electrodes mechanically. Do not use alcohol.

Radius of transmission
The transmitter radius amounts to approx. 80 to max. 120 cm. If you run several Running-Machines or other
training devices on the same heart rate measurement system, you should keep a gap of at least 100 cm between
the devices to exclude interference.
The POLAR W.I.N.D. transmitter has a transmission range of approx. 10 meters.
