Welcome
Thanks for choosing Polar! In this manual, we’ll go through the use
and care of your Polar Equine Belt.
Polar Equine Belt Parts
HEART RATE SENSOR
The heart rate sensor measures your
horse’s heart rate in real time and sends
the information continuously and wire-
lessly to your Polar training device or
mobile application. It is compatible with
Bluetooth® smart ready devices that support heart rate service.
See the heart rate sensor’s Getting Started Guide (delivered in the
package) for instructions.
EQUINE BELT
The plastic electrode areas (A, B) on the reverse side of the belt
detect heart rate. The pocket (C) protects the heart rate sensor
from shocks and scratches and prevents it from falling off the belt.

STRAPS
Use the straps to attach the equine belt to the girth or harness.
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 the belt and the heart
rate sensor.
HEART RATE SENSOR
Detach the heart rate sensor from the pocket 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).
BELT
Rinse the belt under running water after every use and hang to dry.
Clean the belt gently with a mild soap and water solution when
needed. Do not use moisturizing soaps, because they can leave
residue on the belt. Do not soak, iron, dry clean or bleach the belt.
Do not stretch the belt or bend the electrode areas sharply. Check
the label on the belt for detailed washing instructions.
STORING
Dry and store the belt 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

Attach the belt
1. For the heart rate sensor to read heart rate properly, ensure
a good contact between the plastic electrode areas and the
horse’s skin. Wet the belt thoroughly, for example in a bucket
of water (1).
2. Also wet the horse’s hair from the areas where the electrodes
of the belt are placed (2). If your horse has long or thick hair,
you can clip those areas. This greatly improves the heart rate
signal quality.
3. Attach the heart rate sensor to the pocket (3). Close the
pocket rmly.
4. Place the strap on the reverse side of the heart rate sensor
pocket as shown on the picture (4).
5. Place the belt as indicated (5), with the heart rate sensor
pocket on the left side of the horse. This ensures that the
electrode areas of the belt are in the right position. Make sure,
that the electrode areas are on the left side of the horse.
6. Saddle/harness the horse. The heart rate sensor will remain
under the girth/harness. Attach the heart rate sensor to the
girth/harness with the strap as indicated. (6A, 6B, 6C)
7. Attach the girth/harness on the right side of the horse. The
heart rate sensor belt remains under the girth/harness. Attach
the belt to the girth/harness with a strap as indicated (7).
The range of the heart rate sensor is over 10 m. Therefore, you
can monitor your horse’s heart rate also when lungeing.
To optimize the contact between the horse’s skin and the
electrodes, contact gel can be used on the electrodes. It
ensures a better detection of the horse’s heart rate. Apply
the gel on the electrode areas on the reverse side of the
belt.
