Precautions
For allergy information, see the listed materials
in Technical Specifications. Avoid skin
reactions by wearing the transmitter over a shirt,
moistened under the electrodes.
Keep insect repellent away from the transmitter.
The moisture and abrasion may cause
staining on light-colored clothes.
Using Your Transmitter in a Water Environment
Polar WearLink 31 transmitter may be used for
swimming, 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.
Polar WearLink W.I.N.D. transmitter is water
resistant but will not measure heart rate in
water.
