Heart Rate Sensor Parts
1. The plastic electrode areas on the reverse
side of the strap detect heart rate. Picture
A1.
2. The connector sends the heart rate signal
to the receiving device. Picture A2.
Polar H7 heart rate sensor enables training in a
group without interference from other heart rate
sensors.

Wear the Heart Rate Sensor
1. Moisten the electrode areas of the strap.
Picture B1.
2. Attach the connector to the strap. Picture
B2.
3. Adjust the strap length to fit tightly but
comfortably.
4. Tie the strap around your chest, just below
the chest muscles, and attach the hook to
the other end of the strap. Picture B3.
5. Check that the moist electrode areas are
firmly against your skin and that the Polar
logo of the connector is in a central and
upright position. Picture B4.
Detach the connector from the strap and rinse
the strap under running water after every use.
Sweat and moisture may keep the electrodes
wet and the heart rate sensor activated. This
will reduce the transmitter battery life.
See detailed washing instructions in the Caring
for Your Heart Rate Sensor section or at
www.polar.com/support.

Getting Started
Polar H7 heart rate sensor is compatible with
Bluetooth®smart ready devices that support
heart rate service. A separate application is
required to view heart rate data on the receiving
device (for example, a smartphone). It is
recommended to use the Polar Beat application
but it is also possible to use other applications.
If you have a polarpersonaltrainer.com account
Polar Beat automatically synchronizes your
training files to it. Please note that you must
sign in to your polarpersonaltrainer.com account
when starting Polar Beat for the synchronization
to work.
When using the Polar H7 for the first time,
you need to pair the heart rate sensor with
your receiving device. For more information
on pairing, see the mobile application
manufacturer's instructions.

Polar H7 heart rate sensor is also compatible
with Polar training computers using GymLink
technology. For more information, go to
www.polar.com/support.
To ensure sufficient transmission range from
your Polar H7 heart rate sensor to the receiving
device, keep the device in front of you. A good
place is in a front pocket or fixed on a belt. Do
not wear the receiving device on your back (for
example, in a back pocket or backpack).
Using Your Heart Rate Sensor in Water
Polar H7 heart rate sensor is water resistant.
The GymLink technology can be used in water
activities, but Bluetooth®wireless technology
will not work in water. Please notice that sea
and pool water are very conductive, and
electrodes may short-circuit, preventing ECG
signals from being detected by the heart rate
sensor.
When using a bathing suit, the best
performance is achieved by wearing the heart
rate sensor underneath it.
