Wearing the Heart Rate Sensor

Wear the heart rate sensor to measure heart rate.

1.Moisten the electrode area of the strap.

2.Attach the connector to the strap.

3.Tie the strap around your chest, just below the chest muscles, and attach the hook to the other end of the strap.

4.Adjust the strap length to fit tightly but comfortably. Check that the moist electrode areas are firmly against your skin and that the Polar logo of the connector is in a central and upright position.

Detach the connector from the strap after every use, to maximize the battery lifetime. Sweat and moisture may keep the electrodes wet and the heart rate sensor activated. This will reduce the battery life. For more detailed washing instructions, see Important Information (page ? ).

Starting a Training Session

Wear the heart rate sensor and make sure you have set up an optional sensor* as instructed in the sensor's user manual. If you are using a speed, cadence, or stride sensor for the first time, see New Accessory (page 38). To use Polar ZoneOptimizer feature for your training session, see Train with Polar ZoneOptimizer (page 16).

1.Start by pressing START

1.In time view, press START to enter the pre-training mode.

2.Pair the heart rate sensor with the training computer

(pairing is performed only once)

Pairing ensures that your training computer receives signal from your heart rate sensor only and enables interference-free training when there are other training computers around.

If you purchased a set which does not include a heart rate sensor, and you have set the heart rate sensor off in the Sport Profile settings, skip step two and go straight to step three.
