NOTE! You must wear a Polar T41 heart rate belt when you use PSC! A blinking square in the Heart Rate display indicates that heart rate measurement is in operation.
NOTE! Attach the holder of the safety key carefully to your shirt whenever you are using PSC. Adjust the length of the safety key wire so that it will be detached from the meter, if you move too far back.
NOTE! If you are exercising with PSC, there must not be another heart rate transmitter near the treadmill (minimum distance 2 m); the simultaneous signals of two transmitters endanger user safety by interfering with the PSC.
PSC SETTINGS
PSC settings should be done with the treadmill at a complete stop.
1.Start the use of PSC by setting the speed zone limits. Press the PSC key.
2.Depending on the previous settings, either PSC ON or PSC OFF will be displayed. Use the arrow keys to change the setting to PSC ON and press ENTER.
3.PRESS ENTER TO CALIBRATE PSC OR START TO EXIT will be displayed. Position yourself in the middle of the track. The acceleration zone begins approximately 10 cm ahead of the measurement point, while the deceleration zone begins approximately 20 cm behind the measurement point. Press ENTER and the text PLEASE WAIT 8 will be displayed. The meter will now measure your distance on the basis of the heart rate signal. Measurement takes 8 seconds, and after that CALIBRATION READY PRESS START is displayed.
4.If the meter cannot receive the heart rate signal
or there are problems in measuring the distance, the meter will return to the CALIBRATE display. In case of such an error, the text CHECK TRANSMITTER is displayed. You should then make sure that you have properly followed the instructions on the use of the heart rate belt.
If the speed zone limits are suitable for you, the next time you start exercising you can start PSC just by selecting PSC ON and pressing ENTER, and then select the desired training mode. If you want to change the speed zone limits, repeat steps
to a more suitable position on the track before the measurement.

2.Start the selected exercise by pressing the START key, and adjust track speed by moving forward or back on the track. Please note that the speed adjustment keys (Turtle/Rabbit) are also in operation during a PSC
