Chest strap with
POLAR
®
transmitter
The sensor/transmitter is to be worn below the chest and above the abdomen, prefera-
bly directly on the skin (not over clothing), logo to the outside. Moisten the contact
surface of the transmitter in order to transmit the best signal possible from the body to
the measuring device.
The chest strap can be washed. Remove belt from the transmitter, taking care not to
bend the electrodes. Wash the strap and electrodes with warm water and mild soap. Do
not machine wash the electrodes and do not use alcohol or other harsh cleaning sol-
vents. Since the transmitter can be activated by moisture, it should be wiped dry after
cleaning. Never use force to clean the transmitter.
The transmitter has a range of about 3 ft. (1 m). Depending on the model, the receiver
is located in the display of the device or below the emergency-off switch on the railing.
When positioning several treadmills next to each other ensure that a minimum distance
between the devices is kept in order to avoid the interference of the transmission signals
between runners.
7.2.8.2 Transmitter Function
The signal will only be transmitted if the transmitter is within 3 ft. (1 m) of the receiver.
Note that variations in the heart rate display can occur when the transmitter is too close
to other heart rate measuring devices. Maintain at least 3 ft. (1 m) distance from other
devices.
It is possible that the heart rate measurement reception is irregular or com-
pletely disrupted when the measuring device is too close to strong sources of
electromagnetic radiation, for example, in the vicinity of overhead power
lines, televisions, computers, electric motors, or other fitness equipment. Only
one transmitter should be used within range of a receiver since the receiver
might otherwise receive multiple signals and transmit inaccurate readings.
7.3 Before Each Use
Before the unit is put into operation, the following checks are to be performed:
Running surface belt (dirt and damage to slats)
Mechanical function of the bar railing (clamping screw must be hand-tight)
Emergency stop magnet with pull-cord and clip attachment (damage and position)
Fall protection equipment e.g. ropes, carabiners, waist belt, etc. (wear and function-
ality)
Danger of Being Pulled into Moving Parts!
In the event of a fall, long hair, loose clothing, shoe laces, or jewelry can
be pulled into running surface entry points.
► Remove jewelry and tie up long hair before using the device.
► Ensure shoe laces do not extend beyond soles of running shoes.
