Polar Equine Healthcheck Parts
HANDLE
The comfortable handle ensures a rm grip during use.
ELASTIC STRAP
The plastic electrode areas on the reverse side of the strap detect
the horse’s heart rate.
POLAR H10 HEART RATE SENSOR
The heart rate sensor measures the horse’s heart rate in real
time and sends the information continuously and wirelessly to
a compatible Bluetooth device. See the Getting Started Guide
delivered in the package for instructions specic to the H10 heart
rate sensor.
POLAR EQUINE APP
The Polar Equine app gives you a quick and easy readout of your
horse’s real-time heart rate and ECG. The app is available for
Android phones and can be downloaded from Google Play.
Using the Polar Equine Healthcheck
1. To assemble the Polar Equine Healthcheck, rst place one
end of the handle (A)inside the fold of the strap (B), and then
slightly bend the handle from the other side and slide the other
end in place. Be careful not to stretch the strap. Finally, attach the
Polar H10 heart rate sensor (C)to the strap.
2. Thoroughly moisten the horse’s hair from the heart rate
measurement area. Also moisten the plastic electrode areas on
the reverse side of the strap. To optimize the contact between
the horse’s skin and the electrodes, contact gel can be used on
the electrodes.
3. Place the Polar Equine Healthcheck against the horse’s hair.
4. View the horse’s heart rate on the Polar Equine app on your
Android phone or alternatively on a compatible Polar training
device.

Troubleshooting
ABNORMAL HEART RATE READINGS
• Make sure that the strap is rmly against the horse.
• Make sure that the horse’s hair is thoroughly moistened from
the heart rate measurement area.
• If your horse has long or thick hair, you can clip it from the
heart rate measurement area. This greatly improves the heart
rate signal quality.
• Accumulated sweat and dirt may interfere with the
measurement of the signal from the heart to the transmitter.
Check if the strap needs cleaning.
• If the heart rate measurement still does not work, the battery
of your H10 heart rate sensor may be empty. See the heart
rate sensor’s Getting Started Guide (delivered in the package)
for instructions on changing the battery.
Important Information
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The following instructions will help you fulll the guarantee
obligations, keep the device in peak condition, ensure reliable
measurement and maximize the life span of your Polar Equine
Healtcheck.
Heart rate sensor
Detach the heart rate sensor from the strap after every use and
wipe it dry with a soft towel. Clean the heart rate sensor with a
mild soap and water solution when needed. Never use alcohol or
any abrasive material (e.g. steel wool or cleaning chemicals).
Strap
Rinse under running water after every use and hang to dry.
Clean the strap gently with a mild soap and water solution when
needed. Do not use moisturizing soaps, because they can leave
residue on the strap. Wash regularly. Check the label on your
strap for detailed washing instructions. Do not soak, iron, dry
clean or bleach the strap. Do not stretch the strap or bend the
electrode areas sharply.
Storing
Dry and store the strap and the heart rate sensor separately to
maximize the heart rate sensor battery lifetime. Keep the heart
rate sensor in a cool and dry place. To prevent snap oxidation, do
not store the heart rate sensor wet in non-breathing material. Do
not expose the heart rate sensor to direct sunlight for extended
periods.
Service
During the 12-month guarantee/warranty period we recommend
that you have service, other than battery replacement, done by an
authorized Polar Service Center only. The warranty does not cover
damage or consequential damage caused by service not authorized
by Polar Electro. For contact information and all Polar Service
Center addresses, visit www.support.polar.com and country specic
