This user manual contains instructions for Polar
WearLink®31, Polar WearLink+®Hybrid and
Polar WearLink®W.I.N.D. transmitters. The
model of your transmitter is printed on the
connector.
Please follow the pictures on the front cover.
Transmitter Parts
1. The electrode areas on the reverse side of
the strap detect heart rate. Picture A1.
2. The connector sends the heart rate signal to
the wrist unit. Picture A2.
Wear the Transmitter
1. Wet the electrode areas of the strap under
running water and make sure that they are
well moistened. Picture B1.
2. Attach the connector to the strap. Adjust
the strap length to fit snugly and
comfortably. Picture B2.
3. Tie the strap around your chest, just below
the chest muscles, and attach the hook to
the other end of the strap. Picture B3.
4. Check that the wet electrode areas are
firmly against your skin and that the Polar
logo of the connector is in a central,
upright position. Picture B4.
Detach the transmitter connector from the
strap and rinse the strap under running water
after every use.
The Polar WearLink connector can be used
with specific apparel with built-in soft textile
electrodes. Wet the electrodes and clip the
connector onto the apparel without the strap,
with the Polar logo in an upright position.

Teaching the Polar WearLink W.I.N.D/
Hybrid transmitter to communicate
with your wrist unit
A new transmitter has to be introduced to the
wrist unit in order to measure heart rate. This is
called teaching.
1. Wear the transmitter and wrist unit, and
make sure you are far (20 m/66 ft) from
other Polar WearLink W.I.N.D. or Hybrid
transmitters.
2. In time mode, press OK. The unit starts
searching for the transmitter signal.
3. Once the transmitter is identified, New
WearLink found, Teach new WearLink? is
displayed.
• Select YES to confirm teaching.
Completed! is displayed. Start exercise
recording by pressing OK.
• Select NO to cancel teaching.
Care and Maintenance
The transmitter is a high-tech instrument that
should be handled with care. The following
instructions will help you fulfill guarantee
obligations.
Detach the transmitter connector from the
strap and rinse the strap under running water
after every use. Dry the connector with a soft
towel. Never use alcohol or any abrasive
material (steel, wool or cleaning chemicals).
Wash the strap regularly in a washing
machine at 40ºC/104ºF or at lest after every
fifth use. This ensures reliable measurement
and maximizes the life span of the transmitter.
Use a washing pouch. Do not soak, spin-dry,
iron, dry clean or bleach the strap. Do not use
detergent with bleach or fabric softener. Never
put the transmitter connector in the washing
machine or drier!
ENGLISH
2
Dry and store the strap and connector
separately. Wash the strap in a washing
machine before long-term storage, and always
after use in pool water with high chlorine
content.
Keep the transmitter in a cool and dry place. Do
not store wet in non-breathing material, such as
a sports bag. Sweat and moisture keep the
electrodes wet and activated. Do not expose to
direct sunlight for extended periods.
Service
During the warranty period, service the product
at an authorized Polar Service Center only. The
warranty does not cover damage caused by
unauthorized service. See Limited International
Polar Guarantee.
Batteries
To change the battery yourself, follow below
instructions. See picture C.
1. Using a coin, open the battery cover by
turning it counterclockwise to OPEN.
2. Insert the battery (CR2025) inside the
cover with the positive (+) side against the
cover. Make sure the sealing ring is in the
groove to ensure water resistance.
3. Press the cover back into the connector.
4. Use the coin to turn the cover clockwise to
CLOSE.
Open the cover only when changing the battery
to ensure a long life, and make sure the sealing
ring is not damaged, in which case you should
replace it with a new one.
Battery kits with sealing rings are available at
Polar retailers and authorized Polar Service
ENGLISH

Centers. In the USA and Canada, sealing rings
are available at authorized Polar Service Centers
only.
Keep batteries away from children. If
swallowed, contact a doctor immediately.
Batteries should be disposed of in compliance
with local regulations.
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 and WearLink Hybrid
transmitters 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.
