ENGLISH

This user manual contains instructions for Polar WearLink®+, Polar WearLink®+ W.I.N.D. and Polar WearLink®+ Hybrid transmitters. The model of your transmitter is printed on the connector.

Please follow the pictures on the front cover.

Transmitter Parts

1. The electrode areas on the reverse side of the strap detect heart rate. Picture A1.

2. The connector sends the heart rate signal to the training computer. Picture A2.

Wear the Transmitter

1. Wet the electrode areas of the strap under running water and make sure that they are well moistened. Picture B1.

2. Attach the connector to the strap. Adjust the strap length to fit snugly and comfortably. Picture B2.

3. Tie the strap around your chest, just below the chest muscles, and attach the hook to the other end of the strap. Picture B3.

4. Check that the wet electrode areas are firmly against your skin and that the Polar logo of the connector is in a central, upright position. Picture B4.

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. Rinse the strap under running water after every use.

Using a New Transmitter

When you purchase a new WearLink®W.I.N.D. or WearLink®+ Hybrid transmitter, it has to be paired with your training computer in order to measure heart rate.

For instructions on how to pair the transmitter with the training computer, see your Polar training computer's user manual.

Using Your Transmitter in Water

Polar WearLink®+ and WearLink®+ Hybrid transmitters can be used in water activities, but interference may occur for the following reasons:

• Sea and pool water are very conductive, and electrodes may short-circuit, preventing ECG signals from being detected by the transmitter.

• Jumping or sharp muscle movement may shift the transmitter so the ECG signals cannot be detected.

• The ECG signal strength is individual and depends on tissue composition.

For the best performance, we recommend that you use a bathing suit and wear the transmitter underneath.

Polar WearLink®W.I.N.D. transmitter is water resistant but will not measure heart rate in water.
