Attach the connector to the strap. Adjust the strap length to fit it tightly but comfortably.
Tie the strap around your chest, just below the chest muscles, and attach the hook to the other end of the strap.
Check that the wet electrode areas are firmly against your skin and that the Polar logo of the connector is in a central and upright position.
