WEARING YOUR OH1

WHEN MEASURING HEART RATE FROM YOUR FOREARM OR UPPER ARM

To measure heart rate accurately, you need to wear the OH1 snugly on your forearm or upper arm, not on
your wrist.

Place the sensor into the armband holder with the lens facing up. Wear the armband so that the sensor is on
the underside of the armband firmly against your skin. Wear the OH1 around your forearm or upperarm. The
sensor must be in firm skin contact, but not too tight to prevent blood flow. For most accurate heart rate
measurement, we advise you to wear your OH1 for a few minutes prior to starting the heart rate
measurement.

HEART RATE TRAINING

Although there are many subjective clues as to how your body is doing during exercise (perceived exertion,
breathing rate, physical sensations), none of them are as reliable as measuring heart rate. It is objective and
affected by both internal and external factors—meaning that you will have a dependable measure of your
physical state.

MEASURING HEART RATE WITH YOUR OH1

To measure heart rate accurately you need to wear your
OH1 snugly around your forearm or upper arm (see the
picture on the right). The sensor on the back must be in
constant touch with your skin, but the armband should
not be too tight to prevent blood flow. For most accurate
heart rate measurement, we advise you to wear your
OH1 for a few minutes prior to starting the heart rate
measurement.

If you have tattoos avoid placing the sensor right on
them it as it may prevent accurate readings.

Also it's a good idea to warm up the skin if your hands
and skin get cold easily. Get the blood going before
starting your session!

PRECAUTIONS

The Polar OH1 is designed to measure heart rate. No other use is intended or implied.

The training device should not be used for obtaining environmental measurements that require professional
or industrial precision.

We recommend that once in a while you wash the device and the armband to avoid any skin problems from a
dirty armband.

INTERFERENCE DURING TRAINING

Electromagnetic Interference and Training Equipment

Disturbance may occur near electrical devices. Also WLAN base stations may cause interference when
training with the training device. To avoid erratic reading or misbehavior, move away from possible sources of
disturbance.

21

Training equipment with electronic or electrical components such as LED displays, motors and electrical
brakes may cause interfering stray signals.

If the training device still does not work with the training equipment, it may be electrically too noisy for
wireless heart rate measurement. For furtherinformation, www.polar.com/support.

MINIMIZING RISKS WHEN TRAINING

Training may include some risk. Before beginning a regular training program, it is recommended that you
answer the following questions concerning your health status. If you answer yes to any of these questions, we
recommend that you consult a doctor before starting any training program.

• Have you been physically inactive for the past 5 years?

• Do you have high blood pressure or high blood cholesterol?

• Are you taking any blood pressure or heart medication?

• Do you have a history of breathing problems?

• Do you have symptoms of any disease?

• Are you recovering from a serious illness or medical treatment?

• Do you use a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device?

• Do you smoke?

• Are you pregnant?

Note that in addition to training intensity, medications for heart conditions, blood pressure, psychological
conditions, asthma, breathing, etc., as well as some energy drinks, alcohol, and nicotine may also affect
heart rate.

It is important to be sensitive to your body’s responses during training. If you feel unexpected pain or
excessive fatigue when training, it is recommended that you stop the training or continue at a lighter intensity.

Note! If you are using a pacemaker, you can use Polar products. In theory interference to pacemaker caused
by Polar products should not be possible. In practice no reports exist to suggest anyone ever having
experienced interference. We cannot however issue an official guarantee on our products’ suitability withall
pacemakers or other implanted devices due to the variety of devices available. If you have any doubts, or if
you experience any unusual sensations while using Polar products, please consult your physician or contact
the implanted electronic device manufacturer to determine safety in your case.

If you are allergic to any substance that comes into contact with your skin or if you suspect an allergic
reaction due to using the product, check the listed materials in Technical Specifications. To avoid any skin
reaction to the heart rate sensor, wear it over a shirt, but moisten the shirt well under the electrodes to
ensure flawless operation.

22

Your safety is important to us. The shape of the Polar stride sensor Bluetooth® Smart is designed to
minimize the possibility of if getting caught in something. In any case, be careful when running with the stride
sensor in brushwood, for example.

The combined impact of moisture and intense abrasion may cause color to come off the heart rate
sensor’s surface, possibly staining clothes. If you use perfume, suntan/sunscreen lotion or insect repellent
on your skin, you must ensure that it does not come into contact with the training device or the heart rate
sensor. Please avoid clothing with colors that might transfer onto the training device (especially training
devices withlight/bright colors) when worn together.

This product is not a toy. Do not allow children or pets to play with this product. This product contains

WATER RESISTANCE OF POLAR PRODUCTS

In the watch industry, water resistance is generally indicated as meters, which means the static water
pressure of that depth. Polar uses this same indication system. Water resistance of Polar products is tested
according to International Standard ISO 22810 or IEC60529. Every Polar device that has waterresistance
indication is tested before the delivery to stand water pressure.

Polar products are divided into four different categories according to their water resistance. Check the back
of your Polar product for the water resistance category, and compare it to the chart below. Please note that
these definitions do not necessarily apply to products of other manufacturers.

When performing any underwater activity, the dynamic pressure generated by moving in water is greater than
the static pressure. This means that moving the product underwater subjects it to a greater pressure than if
the product were stationary.
