As a result, it's easy to monitor your heart rate during training runs. This version of the T31 coded, meaning it prevents crosstalk from other electronic devices to ensure complete accuracy (Polar also sells a non-coded T31). It's also built to last, with a design that holds up to 2,500 hours of training usage. The transmitter belt--which works with all current Polar wrist-top computers except the CS600 and RS800--includes a sealed transmitter and elastic strap. About Polar The first EKG accurate wireless heart rate monitor was invented by Polar back in 1977 as a training tool for the Finnish National Cross Country Ski Team. The concept of "intensity training" by heart rate swept the athletic world in the eighties. By the 1990s, individuals were looking to heart rate monitors not only for performance training needs, but also for achieving everyday fitness goals. Today, the same concept of heart rate training is being used by world-class athletes as well as everyday people trying to lose weight. Polar is the leading brand among consumers, coaches, and personal trainers worldwide and the company is committed to not only producing the best products, but also being the leading educator on the benefits of heart rate based exercise.Getting Started Getting started with your T31 Coded Transmitter is easy. For best results, thoroughly moisten the back electrode areas of the transmitter with water and adjust the strap length to fit snug, but comfortable. Check that the moist electrode areas are firmly against your skin and that the Polar logo is in the upright position. Tip: When you are finished with your workout, remove the transmitter, rinse with water and dry with a soft towel. Never store the transmitter wet, in a damp environment or in any kind of non-breathable material, such as a plastic bag or sports bag. Sweat and moisture may keep the electrodes wet and the heart rate sensor activated. This will shorten the battery life. Keep in a cool and dry place.

Review: 2 year battery life BUT read the whole review - I bought this "NEW" in June of 2016. In July 2018 it started not broadcasting my heart rate for about the first 20 minutes every workout until it gets warm and a little sweaty, then it starts working, slowly coming down from 220 indicated BPM or so to what my actual heart rate is. (my heart doesn't go 220-bpm) There are 25 spinning bikes in the room, it does the same thing ON ALL 25 BIKES, EVERY SINGLE BIKE SAME THING, so it is not the heart rate indicator on "THE BIKE"! I have used Polar HRMs since the 1990s maybe 1980s? Within the last 5 or 10 years or so the battery life has gotten shorter and shorter. Maybe mine sat on the shelf in some department store or in some bike shop for the first 5 or 10 years of its life before I bought it "NEW" from desertcart? I honestly don't know what to do. I have to buy another one because all the equipment i use at the health club (where i work) is Polar compatible. Maybe the non-coded one is cheaper and will last longer, we will see. This is a follow up, March 2019. I tried an experiment for the last month or two. I run the transmitter under water in the sink at the health club for a second or 2, just to make it wet. I put it on wet and i go into the spinning room and it works perfectly the second i turn on the heart rate indicator on the bike. All the way through the workout it works perfectly. SO if you have one that stopped working or works intermittently, run it under water and put it on to see if that makes it work. Maybe it is an indicator that the battery is getting low but this saved me from buying a new one at this time. Good luck! Review: Reliable and inexpensive alternative - I have purchased the Polar T31Coded Transmitter and Belt Set from desertcart as a replacement for my old transmitter and belt. Before bying this set, I have considered replacing just the battery itself but the cost and headache for doing it were both not worth it. Also, there was nothing even close in the price range at the Dick's Sporting Goods that I could find as these parts are not being sold by the stores. I have to say that I am NOT using the original wrist watch that came with this set due to the fact that all of the Precor aerobic machines in our gym support this set by directly reading the heart rate from the belt transmitter and displaying it on the console. It is a much better and more convinient option for me not to have to check the wrist watch and play with it so the compatibility with other exercise equipment is something I care about a lot. This product is very reliable as it took over 12 years for a battery to wear-out before I had to replace it. I am strongly recommending this product based on its longevity, durability, quality, compatibility with other equipment, and price affortibility. ## Features - Transmits heart rate data to Polar heart rate monitors using 5kHz transmission and compatible gym equipment.

It takes a CR2032 coin type battery.I followed this video and successfully replaced mine in under ten minutes.https://youtu.be/lBsv9XoV6aA **Q: Is it compatible with a life fitness treadmill? If so how can it be connected?** A: Yes it is compatible, actually I purchased for same treadmill brand . It is conected automatically by gymlink so no setup is required. Great product . **Q: how do you pair this t31 with compatible treadmill machines with polar sign on it?** A: Pairing is automatic. Just start your workout and it will sync with a little sweat **Q: Does the t31 work with the iphone 5? I've tried without success using both MapMyRide and the Polar App. Cheers M** A: The problem is that you need the device to be capable of acquiring data from the transmiter in it's own frequency and I do not think that the iphone is able to do that without a special additional device. For example you have a app called sports tracker that has its own heart rate monitor, I do not know how it works gut there must be some way to catch the information from the heart rate monitor to the phone. For what I know is very probable that you should need some additional device to get the heart rate monitor frequency. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 2 year battery life BUT read the whole review *by A***R on December 27, 2018* I bought this "NEW" in June of 2016.

The problems come up when you buy a "new" transmitter which may have been manufactured 2 years ago? 5 years ago? 10 years ago? Since there is no manufacturing date code on the product you don't know when it was manufactured. Also you don't know if it sat in a warehouse at 120 degrees or other less than ideal battery storage temperatures for all those years. The result is the "new" transmitter may work for a week, two weeks, or two years. That said, it is pretty simple to open one of these with a knife and replace the battery (CR2032), and seal it up with some plastidip or flex-seal. The signal will be good for 12-18 months and works fine with most cardio equipment I have seen in gyms over the years. In fact it's not unusual to see my heart rate show on the machines on either side of me while I'm working out at the gym. I have a Polar 610i wrist monitor I have been using for 20+ years. In that time I have had to purchase three or four replacement T31 coded transmitters and the factory battery has never lasted more than 12 months using it for cardio workouts 3-5 times per week. So I replace the factory battery and typically every 15-18 months thereafter. When the cardio machine has problems receiving the signal I know it's time to replace, even though the wrist monitor is still recieving no problems. Eventually they do stop working and I need to buy another. This purchase (2/1/25) replaces one I purchased around 2016 which has had new batteries installed 5 or 6 times. If you don't want to replace batteries consider some other heart monitor, or spend $35 every time the battery dies. ## Frequently Bought Together - Polar T31 Coded Chest Transmitter and Elastic Strap - Polar H9 Heart Rate Sensor - hengkang Fit for Polar FT4/FT7 Watch Bands, Stylish Adjustable Silicone Replacement Band Straps Wristbands Accessory Band Bracelet --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/1259687-polar-t31-coded-chest-transmitter-and-elastic-strap](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/1259687-polar-t31-coded-chest-transmitter-and-elastic-strap) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
