A. GETTING GOING A 5 The electrode areas of the strap detect your heart rate. The co nnector transmits your heart rate signal to the wrist unit. The wrist unit di sp lays your heart rate and cycling data during exercise. Enter your personal settings into th e wrist unit and analyze the exercise files after you’re done.
A 6 STOP SIGNAL / LIGHT OK Signal/ Light T urns the beep on or off. T urns the backlight on. Stop Return - Stops measuring the heart rate. Exits the displayed mode and returns to the previous mode level. Returns to the T ime of day display from any mode by pressing and holding the stop button.
A 7 Useful tips • Briefly pressing a button (approximately 1 second) will do dif f erent things than pressing and holding the button for a longer period of time (approximately 2 to 5 seconds). If your press the button for a longer period of time, you can use shortcuts.
A 8 How to prepar e the wrist unit 1. Since the display is blank when the w rist unit leaves the factory , you have to activate the wrist unit by pr essing the OK button twice, after which the T ime of day display appears. This is a one-off procedure; once you have turned on your w rist unit you can not turn it off anymore.
A 9 Installing the Polar Bike Mount™ Use cable ties to secure the bike mount snugly on the rubber pad. Attach the wrist unit by securing the wrist strap. Installing the Polar Speed Sensor™ The Polar Speed Sensor measures speed and distance when cycling.
A 10 4. There are two spoke magnet options. Y ou only need to install one of them. Check which of the magnets fits the spoke of your bike best. One (A) is installed by rotating it around the spoke before putting the metal cover on, another (B) by tightening the screw .
A 11 How to put the transmitter on 1. Moisten the electrode areas of the strap under running water and make sure that they are well moistened. 2. Attach the connector to the strap. Position the connector's letter L to the word LEFT on the strap and snap the fastener .
A 12 mobile phones may cause interference when starting the heart rate measurement. 4. Press the OK button to start measuring your heart rate. A heart symbol will start flashing and your heart rate (beats per minute) will appear in a maximum of 15 seconds.

E 80 E. POLAR FITNESS TEST The Polar Fitness T est is an easy , safe and quick way to estimate individual maximal aerobic power and to get predicted maximum heart rate value.
E 81 If you want to improve your cardiovascular fitness, it takes a minimum of 6 weeks on an average to see a noticeable change in OwnIndex. Less fit individuals see progress even more rapidly and for more fit individuals more time is needed. Cardiovascular fitness is best improved by exercise types which employ large muscle groups.
E 82 The HR max - p definition is carried out simultaneously with the Polar Fitness T est. The HR max -p score predicts your individual maximum heart rate value more accurately than the age-based formula (220 - age).
E 83 T o get reliable test results, the following basic requirements apply: • Y ou should be relaxed and calm. • The test can take place anywhere - home, office, health club - as long as the testing environment is peaceful. No disturbing noises (e.
E 84 Time of Day File Options Fit. T est Connect Fitness T est 1. In the T ime of day display scroll up or down until FI T . TEST is displayed. If you cannot find Fitness T est mode check that you have turned the function on in the Options mode. 2. Press OK to enter the Fitness T est mode.
E 85 Interrupt the test • Y ou can stop the test any time during the test by pressing the stop button. Failed TEST is displayed for a few seconds. The latest OwnIndex and H R max - p are not replaced. If the wrist unit does not succeed in receiving your heart rate at the beginning or during the test, the test will fail.
E 86 The classification is based on literature review of 62 studies where VO 2max was measured directly in healthy adult subjects in the USA, Canada and 7 European countries. Reference: Shvartz E, Reibold RC: Aerobic fitness norms for males and females aged 6 to 75 years: a review .
E 87 For various fitness classes we recommend the following: 1 2 3 4 6 7 5 1-3 Increase exercise for health benefits and fitness improvement. 4 T o ensure good health, maintain current exercise habits. For fitness improvement an increase in exercise is recommended.
F . CARE AND MAINTENANCE Y our Polar heart rate monitor is a high-tech instrument of superior design and workmanship and should be treated with care. The suggestions below will help you fulfill the guarantee obligations and enjoy this product for many years to come.
• Never put the connector in a washing machine or a drier! • Y ou can wash the strap in a washing machine at +40 ° C / 104 ° F. W e recommend that you use a washing pouch. • We recommend that you wash the strap after each time you have used it in pool water with a high chlorine content.
2. Remove the battery cover from the connector , lift the battery from the niche and replace it with a new battery . 3. Remove the sealing ring of the battery cover and replace it with a new ring. 4. Place the negative (-) side of the battery against the connector and the positive (+) side against the cover .
Wrist unit The estimated average battery life of the wrist unit is 2 years in normal use (2h/ day , 7 days a week). Note also that excessive use of the backlight and the alarm signals will use the battery more rapidly . Do not open the Polar wrist unit yourself.
6. Put the PCBA back into place. 7. Check that the sealing ring stays in its groove. Replace the cover back. 8. Insert the two screws in their holes and tighten them gradually in turn. 9. T est the sensor by checking that it gives out an orange flash when the spoke magnet passes the speed sensor .
