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.
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 further information,
see 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?
