Team2 SW Help
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, stop the exercise or
continue at a lighter intensity.
If you have a pacemaker, defibrillator or other implanted electronic device, you use the Polar
Team
2
system at your own risk. Before starting use, take a maximal training stress test under the
supervision of a physician. The test is to ensure the safety and reliability of the simultaneous use
of the pacemaker and the Polar Team
2
system. 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 transmitter, wear
it over a shirt. Moisten the shirt well under the electrodes to ensure flawless operation. If you use
insect repellent on your skin, make sure that it does not come into contact with the transmitter.
Exercise equipment with electronic components may cause interfering stray signals. To
tackle these problems, try the following:
1. Remove the transmitter from your chest and use the exercise equipment as you would
normally.
2. Move the wrist unit around until you find an area in which it displays no stray reading or
does not flash the heart symbol. Interference is often worst right 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 transmitter back on your chest and keep the wrist unit in this interference-free
area as much as possible.
If the Polar Team
2
system still does not work, the piece of equipment may be electrically too noisy
for wireless heart rate measurement.
Polar Team

transmitter may not be worn when swimming. For more information, visit
