2. EXERCISING

This chapter contains information on how to start to use

your heart rate monitor for the ﬁ rst time, and how to wear

the transmitter.

Before you start exercising it is recommended that you set

your target heart rate limits and alarm. For further

information, see Heart Rate Limits chapter on page 46.

2.1 MEASURING YOUR HEART RATE

To measure your heart rate you need to wear the transmitter.

Heart rate coding reduces interference from other heart

rate monitors that are close by. To make sure that the code

search is successful and to ensure trouble-free heart rate

monitoring, keep the wrist unit within 3 feet/1 meter of your

transmitter (FS2c/FS3c).

Check that you are not near other people with heart rate

monitors or any source of electromagnetic disturbances

(for further information on interference, see the Precautions

chapter on page 50).

1. Attach one end of the

transmitter to the elastic

strap.

2. Adjust the transmitter’s strap

length to ﬁ t snugly and

comfortably. Secure the strap

around your chest, just below

the chest muscles, and buckle

the strap to the transmitter.

3. Lift the transmitter off your

chest and moisten the two

grooved electrode areas

on the back. Check that the

wet electrode areas are ﬁ rmly

against your skin and that

the Polar logo is in a central,

upright position.

4. Wear the wrist unit as a watch.
