GETTINGSTARTED
Polar H9 heart ratesensor iscompatiblewith Bluetooth® and ANT+™devicesthat support heart rateservice. Asep-
arateapplication isrequired to view heart ratedataon the receivingdevice(for example,asmartphone). It isrecom-
mended to usethe Polar Beat application but it isalso possibleto useother applications.
Notethat theH9transmitsyour heart ratesignal simultaneouslyvia Bluetooth and ANT+.You can turn off the

device. For more information on pairing, see the mobile application manufacturer's instructions.
Polar H9 heart ratesensor isalso compatible with Polar trainingcomputersusingGymLink (5 kHz)technology. For
more information,go to support.polar.com.
To ensuresufficient transmission rangefrom your Polar H9 heart ratesensor to thereceivingdevice,keep the
devicein front of you. Agood placeisin afront pocket or fixed on abelt. Do not wear thereceivingdeviceon your
back (for example,in aback pocket or backpack).

PAIRWITH APOLARWRIST UNIT
You need to wear the sensor when pairing it.
Check theuser manual of your Polar wrist unit at support.polar.com for specificpairing instructions.
USINGYOUR HEART RATE SENSOR IN WATER
Polar H9 heart ratesensor iswater resistant. TheGymLink technology can beused in water activities,but
Bluetooth® wirelesstechnology will not work in water. Pleasenoticethat seaand pool water arevery conductive,
and electrodesmay short-circuit,preventing ECG signalsfrom beingdetected by theheart ratesensor.
When usingabathingsuit,thebest performanceisachieved by wearingtheheart ratesensor underneath it.
FIRMWARE UPDATE

and water solution when needed. Do not usemoisturizingsoaps,becausethey can leave residueon thestrap. Do
not soak,iron,dry clean or bleach thestrap. Do not stretch thestrap or bend the electrodeareassharply.
Dry and store the strap and the connector separately to maximize the heart rate sensor battery life-
time. Keep theheart ratesensor in acool and dry place. Do not storetheheart ratesensor wet in non-breathing
material,such asasportsbag,to prevent snap oxidation. Do not exposethe heart ratesensor to direct sunlight for
extended periods.
