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 H7 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 transmitter activated. This willreduce the transmitter battery life.See detailed washing instructions in the Caringfor Your Heart Rate Sensor section or atpolar.fi/support.2ENGLISH
Getting StartedPolar H7 heart rate sensor is compatible withBluetooth®smart and Bluetooth®smart readydevices. A separate application may be requiredto view heart rate data on the receiving device(for example, a mobile phone). Polar H7 heartrate sensor is also compatible with Polartraining computers using 5 kHz transmissiontechnology. For more information, go towww.polar.fi/support.When using the Polar H7 for the first time,you need to pair the heart rate sensor withyour receiving device.To ensure sufficient transmission range fromyour Polar H7 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 H7 heart rate sensor is water resistant.The 5 kHz transmission 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.ENGLISH 3
When using a bathing suit, the bestperformance is achieved by wearing the heartrate sensor underneath it.Caring for Your Heart Rate SensorThe heart rate sensor is a high-tech instrumentthat should be handled with care. Follow thecaring instructions to ensure reliablemeasurement and to maximize the life span ofthe heart rate sensor. The following instructionswill help you fulfill guarantee obligations.Connector: Detach the connector from the strapafter every use and dry the connector with a softtowel. Clean the connector with a mild soap andwater solution when needed. Never use alcoholor any abrasive material (e.g. steel wool orcleaning chemicals).Strap: Rinse the strap under running water afterevery use and hang to dry. Clean the strapgently with a mild soap and water solution whenneeded. Do not use moisturizing soaps, becausethey can leave residue on the strap. Do notsoak, iron, dry clean or bleach the strap. Do notstretch the strap or bend the electrode areassharply.4ENGLISH
Dry and store the strap and the connectorseparately to maximize the heart rate sensorbattery lifetime. Keep the heart rate sensor ina cool and dry place. Do not store the heart ratesensor wet in non-breathing material, such as asports bag, to prevent snap oxidation. Do notexpose the heart rate sensor to direct sunlightfor extended periods.Never put the strap or the connector in awashing machine or dryer!BatteriesThe battery level of your heart rate sensor isdisplayed on the receiving device.All connectors have user changeable batteries.To change the battery yourself, follow theinstructions below, and see the markings on theconnector and picture C on the front cover ofthis user manual.1. Using a coin, open the battery cover byturning it counterclockwise to OPEN.2. Insert the battery (CR 2025) inside thecover with the positive (+) side against thecover. Make sure the sealing ring is in thegroove to ensure water resistance.3. Press the cover back into the connector.4. Use the coin to turn the cover clockwise toCLOSE.ENGLISH 5
When changing the battery, make sure thesealing ring is not damaged, in which case youshould replace it with a new one.You can purchase the sealing ring/battery kits atwell-equipped Polar retailers and authorizedPolar Services. In the USA and Canada, theadditional sealing rings are available atauthorized Polar Service Centers. In the USAthe sealing ring/battery kits are also available atwww.shoppolar.com.Keep batteries away from children. Ifswallowed, contact a doctor immediately.Batteries should be disposed of in compliancewith local regulations.ServiceDuring the two-year guarantee/warranty periodwe recommend that you have service, other thanbattery replacement, done by an authorizedPolar Service Center only. The warranty does notcover damage or consequential damage causedby service not authorized by Polar Electro.

Toutchangement ou toute modifi cation peuventannuler le droit d’utilisation de l’appareil parl’utilisateur.Industry Canada (IC) regulatory informationUnder Industry Canada regulations, this radiotransmitter may only operate using an antennaof a type and maximum (or lesser) gainapproved for the transmitter by IndustryCanada. To reduce potential radio interferenceto other users, the antenna type and its gainshould be so chosen that the equivalentisotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not morethan that necessary for successfulcommunication.This device complies with Industry Canadalicence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation issubject to the following two conditions: (1) thisdevice may not cause interference, and (2) thisdevice must accept any interference, includinginterference that may cause undesired operationof the device.Avis de conformité à la réglementationd’Industrie CanadaConformément à la réglementation d'IndustrieCanada, le présent émetteur radio peutfonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'ungain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pourl'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but deréduire les risques de brouillage radioélectriqueà l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il fautchoisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorteque la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente(p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire àl'établissement d'une communicationsatisfaisante.Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNRd'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareilsradio exempts de licence. L'exploitation estautorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1)l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et(2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter toutbrouillage radioélectrique subi, même si lebrouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre lefonctionnement.Class B digital device noticeThis Class B digital apparatus complies withCanadian ICES-003, RSS-Gen and RSS-210.Cet appareil numérique de la classe B estconforme à la norme NMB-003, CNR-Gen etCNR-210 du Canada.USAPolar Electro Oy has not approved any changesor modifi cations to this device by the user. Anychanges or modifi cations could void the user’sauthority to operate the equipment.FCC regulatory informationThis device complies with part 15 of the FCCrules. Operation is subject to the following twoconditions: (1) This device may not causeharmful interference, and (2) This device mustaccept any interference received, includinginterference that may cause undesiredoperation.Note: This equipment has been tested andfound to comply with the limits for a Class Bdigital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCCRules. These limits are designed to providereasonable protection against harmfulinterference in a residential installation. Thisequipment generates, uses and can radiateradio frequency energy and, if not installed andused in accordance with the instructions, maycause harmful interference to radiocommunications. However, there is noguarantee that interference will not occur in aparticular installation.If this equipment does cause harmfulinterference to radio or television reception,which can be determined by turning theequipment off and on, the user is encouraged totry to correct the interference by one or more ofthe following measures:Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.1. Increase the separation between the 2. equipment and receiver.Connect the equipment into an outlet on a 3. circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ 4. TV technician for help.This product emits radio frequency energy, butthe radiated output power of this device is farbelow the FCC radio frequency exposure limits.This equipment complies with FCC RF radiationexposure limits forth for an uncontrolledenvironment. Nevertheless, the device shouldbe used in such a manner that the potential forhuman contact with the antenna during normaloperation is minimized.
