How the Go Wireless Heart Rate Works
The Go Wireless Heart Rate measures a person’s heart rate by registering the small
electrical signals carried across the surface of a person’s skin each time his or her
heart contracts. The Polar Transmitter Module detects each electrical signal from the
heart through the electrodes on the hand grips. The heart rate information is then
wirelessly transmitted using a Bluetooth radio to supported mobile devices.
Collecting Data with Bluetooth Smart Devices
Ensure that the Polar Transmitter Module is attached to the Heart Rate Hand Grips
securely. Locate and record the ID on the side of the Polar Transmitter Module. This
is a unique sequence of six numbers and/or letters (e.g., ID:XXXXXX). Have the
subject grasp the handles of the Go Wireless Heart Rate to activate the Bluetooth
radio in the Polar Transmitter Module. The sensor is now ready for data collection.
Collecting Data with Graphical Analysis
1. Open Graphical Analysis.
2. Tap Create Experiment. Choose Wireless Sensors.
3. Select the Polar HR with the proper ID from the list of available sensors.
4. Tap Collect to begin data collection.
Note: The sensor will disconnect from the device 30 seconds after letting go of the
hand-grips. To reconnect to the sensor, tap Connect and select your Polar HR sensor.
Collecting Data with LabQuest App
1. Choose New from the File menu. On the Meter screen, choose Go Wireless Setup
from the Sensors menu.
2. Select the Polar HR with the proper ID from the list of available sensors. Select
OK.
3. The heart rate of the subject will be displayed on the Meter screen.
4. Collect data as desired.
Note: The sensor will disconnect from the device 30 seconds after letting go of the
hand-grips. To reconnect to the sensor, navigate to the Meter screen. Tap Offline:
Heart Rate and select Go Wireless. Tap Reconnect and select your Polar HR sensor.

Collecting Data without a Bluetooth Smart Device
This sensor can also be used with a Vernier interface and a Heart Rate Receiver
(HR-REC, not included). Here is the general procedure to follow when using the Go
Wireless Heart Rate with a Vernier interface that is not Bluetooth Smart.
1. Connect the Heart Rate Receiver to the interface.
2. Start the data-collection software.
3. The software will identify the Go Wireless Heart Rate as a Hand-Grip Heart Rate
Monitor. A default data-collection file will be opened.
4. You are now ready to collect data.
*Note: The subject’s heart rate will not be displayed on the Meter screen when using
the Heart Rate Receiver with the Heart Rate Hand Grips. Heart rate will be
calculated and then graphed during data collection after a short delay.

Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on,
the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Caution
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation
RF Exposure Warning
The equipment complies with RF exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not
be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
You are cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void your authority to
operate the equipment.
IC Statement
This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this
device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device.
Industry Canada - Class B This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus as set
out in the interference-causing equipment standard entitled “Digital Apparatus,” ICES-003 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference
that may cause undesired operation of the device. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should
be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that permitted for successful communication.
RF exposure warning: The equipment complies with RF exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. The antenna(s) used for
this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L’exploitation est
autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l’appareil doit accepter tout interférence
radioélectrique, même si cela résulte à un brouillage susceptible d’en compromettre le fonctionnement.
Cet appareil numérique respecte les limites de bruits radioélectriques applicables aux appareils numériques de Classe B prescrites dans
la norme sur le matériel interférant-brouilleur: “Appareils Numériques,” NMB-003 édictée par industrie Canada. L’utilisation est
soumise aux deux conditions suivantes: (1) cet appareil ne peut causer d’interférences, et (2) cet appareil doit accepter toutes interférences,
y comprises celles susceptibles de provoquer un disfonctionnement du dispositif. Afin de réduire les interférences radio potentielles pour les
autres utilisateurs, le type d’antenne et son gain doivent être choisie de telle façon que l’équivalent de puissance isotrope émis (e.i.r.p) n’est
pas plus grand que celui permis pour une communication établie. Avertissement d’exposition RF: L’équipement est conforme aux limites
d’exposition aux RF établies pour un environnement non supervisé. L’antenne (s) utilisée pour ce transmetteur ne doit pas être jumelés ou
