    I just got my strap back from Polar. Well, they replaced it, actually. They said this strap has stronger electrodes than the one I had. I wonder if I had washed the other one using your directions what would've happened. Oh well. But I was having all the same problems as you. Quite irritating.

    Bump! I always get 00 or "check heart rate transmitter". Tried the battery. I will try this.

    How do I know if I am using the wearlink.. I just got a FT40.. sucks to read that a few people have had problems with theirs in such a short period. Makes me worry a little cause I am in love with mine

    I was having lots of problems. The signal kept coming and going. I tried changing all the batteries, cleaning it etc. I read that if you turn the strap so that the monitor is on the side, over your rib cage. It worked like a dream.

    Been following this advice since November. No more problems. Works great! No more issues. If I get a funky reading... I just put it in the superhot water and give it a scrub... back in order just like *snaps fingers* that.

    After just a few months of use, mine Polar FT60 began to give me random 220 readings and then jump to 00.

    I tought it was the strap too (always rinse, clean, etc), but as my wife has another polar that use the same strap and wearlink (the transmitter), I could check which one of mine was faulty.

    Turned out that my strap was fine, the problem was on the wearlink (transmitter). Really lame.

    Mine has started playing up this week, which is so annoying as I have only just started Turbo Fire and wanted to track for the first couple of weeks.

    Thanks for putting this on here, I thought it was going to take a nasty email to polar to get sorted!
