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. 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. Adjust the strap length to fit tightly but
comfortably.
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 battery life.
See detailed washing instructions in the Caring
for Your Heart Rate Sensor section or at
polar.com/support.
Write the device ID printed on your heart rate
sensor in the space on the front cover. Picture

Getting Started
Polar H6 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 autosync to
work.
When using the Polar H6 for the first time,
you need to pair the heart rate sensor with
your receiving device. During pairing you
must wear the heart rate sensor. For more
information on pairing, see the mobile
application manufacturer's instructions.
ENGLISH 3
To ensure sufficient transmission range from
your Polar H6 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 H6 heart rate sensor is water resistant but
Bluetooth®wireless technology will not work in
water.
Caring for Your Heart Rate Sensor
The heart rate sensor is a high-tech instrument
that should be handled with care. Follow the
caring instructions to ensure reliable
measurement and to maximize the life span of
the heart rate sensor. The following instructions
will help you fulfill guarantee obligations.
Connector: Detach the connector from the strap
after every use and dry the connector with a soft
towel. Clean the connector with a mild soap and
water solution when needed. Never use alcohol
or any abrasive material (e.g. steel wool or
cleaning chemicals).
