machines are compatible with the Polar wireless heart rate system. This includes a chest strap and a

receiver. The receiver is an integral part of the machine and it is hidden inside. The chest strap is an option on all machines

Polar. If you are having some problems with the reception, please use the following

troubleshooting check list.

The above table should help properly diagnose the problem. There is also misconceptions that the signal is immediate. 
The chest strap electrodes need to be moistened in order to send a strong signal. Radio and neon light interferences can also
reduce the strength of the signal.

In order to properly diagnose any problem with the conctact heart rate system, please refer to the following procedures.
This machine uses a hand ECG (Electrocardiogram) printed circuit board along with wires and a set of metal plates. The hand
ECG board is an integral part of the machine and is hidden inside.
