5. TRAINING
Wear the 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 Customer Service Information chapter.
The Polar WearLink transmitter can be used with specific apparel that has built-in soft textile electrodes.
Wet the electrode areas of the apparel. Clip the connector of the transmitter straight onto the apparel
without the strap so that connector’s Polar logo is in an upright position.
