Forvideo tutorials, go towww.polar.com/en/polar_community/videos.Register your Polar product athttp://register.polar.fi to ensure we can keepimproving our products and services to bettermeet your needs.Please follow the pictures on the front cover.Heart Rate Sensor Parts1. The plastic electrode areas on the reverseside of the strap detect heart rate. PictureA1.2. The connector sends the heart rate signalto the receiving device. Picture A2.Polar H7i heart rate sensor enables training in agroup without interference from other heart ratesensors.1
Wear the Heart Rate Sensor1. Moisten the electrode areas of the strap.Picture B1.2. Attach the connector to the strap. PictureB2.3. Adjust the strap length to fit tightly butcomfortably.4. Tie the strap around your chest, just belowthe chest muscles, and attach the hook tothe other end of the strap. Picture B3.5. Check that the moist electrode areas arefirmly against your skin and that the Polarlogo of the connector is in a central andupright position. Picture B4.Detach the connector from the strap and rinsethe strap under running water after every use.Sweat and moisture may keep the electrodeswet and the heart rate sensor activated. Thiswill reduce the transmitter battery life.See detailed washing instructions in the Caringfor Your Heart Rate Sensor section or atwww.polar.com/support.2ENGLISH
Getting StartedPolar H7i heart rate sensor is compatible withBluetooth®smart ready devices that supportheart rate service. A separate application isrequired to view heart rate data on the receivingdevice (for example, a smartphone). It isrecommended to use the Polar Beat applicationbut it is also possible to use other applications.If you have a polarpersonaltrainer.com accountPolar Beat automatically synchronizes yourtraining files to it. Please note that you mustsign in to your polarpersonaltrainer.com accountwhen starting Polar Beat for the synchronizationto work.When using the Polar H7i for the first time,you need to pair the heart rate sensor withyour receiving device. For more informationon pairing, see the mobile applicationmanufacturer's instructions.ENGLISH 3
Polar H7i heart rate sensor is also compatiblewith Polar training computers using GymLinktechnology. For more information, go towww.polar.com/support.To ensure sufficient transmission range fromyour Polar H7i heart rate sensor to the receivingdevice, keep the device in front of you. A goodplace is in a front pocket or fixed on a belt. Donot wear the receiving device on your back (forexample, in a back pocket or backpack).Using Your Heart Rate Sensor in WaterPolar H7i heart rate sensor is water resistant.The GymLink technology can be used in wateractivities, but Bluetooth®wireless technologywill not work in water. Please notice that seaand pool water are very conductive, andelectrodes may short-circuit, preventing ECGsignals from being detected by the heart ratesensor.When using a bathing suit, the bestperformance is achieved by wearing the heartrate sensor underneath it.4ENGLISH
Caring for Your Heart Rate SensorThe heart rate sensor is a high-tech instrument thatshould be handled with care. Follow the caringinstructions to ensure reliable measurement and tomaximize the life span of the heart rate sensor. Thefollowing instructions will help you fulfill guaranteeobligations.Connector: Detach the connector from the strap afterevery use and dry the connector with a soft towel. Cleanthe connector with a mild soap and water solution whenneeded. Never use alcohol or any abrasive material(e.g. steel wool or cleaning chemicals).Strap: Rinse the strap under running water after everyuse and hang to dry. Clean the strap gently with a mildsoap and water solution when needed. Do not usemoisturizing soaps, because they can leave residue onthe strap. Do not soak, iron, dry clean or bleach thestrap. Do not stretch the strap or bend the electrodeareas sharply.Dry and store the strap and the connector separatelyto maximize the heart rate sensor battery lifetime.Keep the heart rate sensor in a cool and dry place. Donot store the heart rate sensor wet in non-breathingmaterial, such as a sports bag, to prevent snapoxidation. Do not expose the heart rate sensor to directsunlight for extended periods.Check the label on your strap to see if it is machinewashable. Never put the strap or the connector in a dryer!ENGLISH 5
BatteriesThe battery level of your heart rate sensor is displayedon the receiving device.All connectors have user changeable batteries. Tochange the battery yourself, follow the instructionsbelow, and see the markings on the connector andpicture C on the front cover of this user manual.1. Using a coin, open the battery cover by turning itcounterclockwise to OPEN.2. Insert the battery (CR 2025) inside the cover withthe positive (+) side against the cover. Make surethe sealing ring is in the groove to ensure waterresistance.3. Press the cover back into the connector.4. Use the coin to turn the cover clockwise toCLOSE.When changing the battery, make sure the sealing ringis not damaged, in which case you should replace itwith a new one.You can purchase the sealing ring/battery kits atwell-equipped Polar retailers and authorized PolarServices. In the USA and Canada, the additionalsealing rings are available at authorized Polar ServiceCenters. In the USA the sealing ring/battery kits arealso available at www.shoppolar.com.Keep batteries away from children. If swallowed, contact adoctor immediately. Batteries should be disposed of incompliance with local regulations.6ENGLISH
Caution: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by anincorrect type. Dispose of batteries according to theinstructions.ServiceDuring the two-year guarantee/warranty period werecommend that you have service, other than batteryreplacement, done by an authorized Polar ServiceCenter only. The warranty does not cover damage orconsequential damage caused by service not authorizedby Polar Electro. For contact information and all PolarService Center addresses, visit www.polar.com/supportand country-specific websites.PrecautionsFor allergy information, see the listed materials inTechnical Specifications. Avoid skin reactions bywearing the heart rate sensor over a shirt, moistenedunder the electrodes.The combined impact of moisture and intense abrasion maycause a black color to come off the heart rate sensor’ssurface, possibly staining light-colored clothes. If you useperfume or insect repellent on your skin, you must ensurethat it does not come into contact with the heart rate sensor.ENGLISH 7

comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits aredesigned to provide reasonable protection againstharmful interference in a residential installation. Thisequipment generates, uses and can radiate radiofrequency energy and, if not installed and used inaccordance with the instructions, may cause harmfulinterference to radio communications. However, thereis no guarantee that interference will not occur in aparticular installation.If this equipment does cause harmful interference toradio or television reception, which can be determinedby turning the equipment off and on, the user isencouraged to try to correct the interference by one ormore of the following measures:1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.2. Increase the separation between the equipmentand receiver.3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuitdifferent from that to which the receiver isconnected.4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TVtechnician for help.This product emits radio frequency energy, but theradiated output power of this device is far below theFCC radio frequency exposure limits. This equipmentcomplies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits forthfor an uncontrolled environment. Nevertheless, thedevice should be used in such a manner that thepotential for human contact with the antenna duringnormal operation is minimized.12 ENGLISH
