FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS
What should I do if...
...THERE IS NO HEART RATE READING?
1. Check that the elastic strap is tight enough.
2. Check that the electrodes of the Polar
Transmitter are moistened and that you are
wearing it as instructed.
3. Check that you have kept the Polar Transmitter
clean. See care and maintenance.
...HEART SYMBOL FLASHES IRREGULARLY?
1. Check that your Wrist Receiver is inside the
transmission range (1 metre).
2. Check that the elastic strap has not become
loose during exercise.
3. Make sure that the electrodes of the Polar
Transmitter are moistened.
...THE DISPLAY IS BLANK OR FADING?
Have the batteries checked. See Service.
...HEART RATE READING BECOMES
EXTREMELY HIGH (above 200)?
When exercising with your Polar Beat Heart Rate
Monitor you may come within range of other
strong electromagnetic signals, causing the heart
rate readings to elevate to abnormal levels.
Common sources of electromagnetic signals are
televisions, computers, cars, TV antennas, high
voltage power lines and exercise equipment that
is motor driven. Signals from more than one Polar
Transmitter within the 1 metre transmission range
will also cause incorrect readings. Check your
surroundings and move away from the source of
interference.
...EXERCISE EQUIPMENT IS CAUSING
INTERFERENCE?
This interference can usually be overcome by
relocating the Receiver:
1. Remove the Transmitter from your chest and
use the exercise equipment as normal.
2. Move the Receiver around until you find an area
in which it displays no reading. Interference
often comes from directly in front of exercise
equipment display boards, while to either side
of the boards there is no interference.
3. Put the Transmitter back on and keep the
Receiver in this interference free area. Continue
exercising normally.
