1. Carefully wash the transmitter with a mild soap

2. Rinse it with pure water.

3. Dry the transmitter carefully with a soft towel.

4. Keep the wrist receiver clean and wipe off

5. Store the heart rate monitor in a clean and dry

place. Dirt impairs the elasticity and functioning of the transmitter. Sweat and moisture can keep the electrodes wet and the transmitter activated, which shortens battery life. The combined impact of moisture and intense abrasion may cause a black color, which might stain light-colored clothes especially, to come off the transmitter's surface. After Exercising

To find your target heart rate zone, you need to know your maximum heart rate (HR max ). To estimate yout HR max , use the following formula:

max = 220-age Your HR max = 220 - = When your heart beats at 50-60% of your HR max , you're in the light intensity zone. This kind of exercise is easy; ex. daily activities and light chores. It delivers some health benefits. Push on to 60-70% of your HR max and you're in the light to moderate intensity zone. This is good for health, fitness and for weight loss. It also improves endurance. At 70-85% of your HR max , you've moved into the moderate to heavy intensity zone. This is harder work, but effective for strengthening aerobic fitness and endurance especially for people exercising more regularly.

Date The date is displayed differently depending on which time mode has been chosen. 12h mode:

MONTH -> DAY -> YEAR

DAY -> MONTH -> YEAR

• YEAR and the blinking number are displayed

Resetting clears the settings which return to the default values. If there are no reactions to any buttons, reset the receiver.

1. Press RESET button with a pen tip.

Display becomes full of digits.

2. Press any of the four buttons once.

If you don’t press any button after resetting, within one minute the wrist receiver goes to the battery saving mode. Wake up by pressing any of the buttons twice. The following table shows target heart rate zones in beats per minute estimated from age. For an accurate measure of your maximum and exercise heart rates, visit your doctor for an exercise stress test. ENGLISHB3 MULTI ENG(16-27).fh9 4.4.2003 09:02 Page 11

Before starting a regular exercise program you are recommended to answer to the following questions for health status checking. If the answer is yes to any of the questions, we recommend to consult a doctor before starting an exercise program.

• Have you not exercised for the past 5 years?

• Do you have high blood pressure?

• Do you have high blood cholesterol?

• Do you have symptoms of any disease?

• Are you taking any blood pressure or heart medication?

• Do you have a history of breathing problems?

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

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

• Are you pregnant? Note that in addition to exercise intensity, medications for heart, blood pressure, psyche, asthma, breathing etc. as well as some energy drinks, alcohol and nicotine, can affect heart rate. It is important to be sensitive to your body’s reactions during exercise. If you feel unexpected pain or excessive fatigue when exercising, it is recommended to stop the exercise or continue at a lighter intensity. If you are allergic to any substance that comes into contact with the skin or if you suspect an allergic reaction due to using the product, check the listed materials in the "Technical Specifications" chapter. To avoid any skin reaction risk with the transmitter, wear it over a shirt. However, moisten the shirt well under the electrodes to ensure flawless operation. Notice to persons with pacemakers, defibrillator or other implanted electronic device. Persons who have a pacemaker use the Polar heart rate monitor at their own risk. Before starting use, we always recommend an exercise test under doctor’s supervision. The test is to ensure the safety and reliability of the simultaneous use of the pacemaker and the heart rate monitor. Minimizing Possible Risks in Exercising with Heart Rate Monitor
