Minimizing Risks When Training - Polar GRIT X Gebrauchsanleitung

1. Remove the heart rate sensor strap from your chest and use the training equipment as you would
normally.
2. Move the training device around until you find an area in which it displays no stray reading or
does not flash the heart symbol. Interference is often worst directly in front of the display panel
of the equipment, while the left or right side of the display is relatively free of disturbance.
3. Put the heart rate sensor strap back on your chest and keep the training device in this inter-
ference-free area as much as possible.
If the training device still does not work with the training equipment, it may be electrically too noisy for
wireless heart rate measurement.

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 ques-
tions, 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, psy-
chological 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 con-
tinue at a lighter intensity.
Note! If you are using a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device, 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 offi-
cial guarantee on our products' suitability with all pacemakers or other implanted devices due to the
