ENGLISH

11. USING A NEW ACCESSORY

Before taking a new accessory into use, it has to be introduced to the training computer. This is called pairing and only takes a few seconds. Pairing ensures that your training computer receives signals from your accessory only, and enables disturbance-free training in a group.

Before entering an event or race, make sure that you do the pairing at home. This is to prevent interference due to the long-range data transmission. When pairing new sensor make sure you are not near (40 m/131 ft) other similar sensors.

Pairing a New Speed Sensor with the Training Computer

Make sure the speed sensor has been correctly installed. For more information on installing the speed sensor refer to the user manual of the speed sensor or for video tutorial at http://www.polar.fi/en/polar_community/videos.

You can have two bikes on the training computer. Each bike has to have the sensors separately taught. You can only teach one speed sensor to one bike. If you have two bikes, both of them can use the same speed sensor. Or, they can have their own set of sensors. When you pair a new sensor to a bike that already has a previously taught sensor in the memory, the new sensor replaces the previous one.

1.Go to MENU > Settings > Sport profiles > Cycling (Bike 1) > Bike 1 settings > Speed sensor > Search new and press OK.

2.Press OK to start test drive is displayed.

3.Press OK and Searching for new speed sensor is displayed. The training computer starts searching for the speed sensor signal. Rotate the wheel a few times to activate the sensor. The flashing red light on the sensor indicates that the sensor is activated.

4.Once the new speed sensor is identified, Speed sensor found is displayed. Pairing is complete.

5.If the search is not successful, Speed sensor not found or Other speed sensors interfering. Move further., Try again? YES / NO is displayed.

6.Select YES to start the search again.

7.Select NO to cancel the searching.

8.To return to time mode, press and hold the BACK button.

Pairing a New Cadence Sensor with the Training Computer

Make sure the cadence sensor has been correctly installed. For more information on installing the cadence sensor refer to the user manual of the cadence sensor or to the video tutorial at http://www.polar.fi/en/polar_community/videos.

You can have two bikes on the training computer. Each bike has to have the sensors separately taught. You can only teach one cadence sensor to one bike. If you have two bikes, both of them can use the same cadence sensor. Or, they can have their own set of sensors. When you pair a new sensor to a bike that already has a previously taught sensor in the memory, the new sensor replaces the previous one.

1.Go to MENU > Settings > Sport profiles > Cycling Bike 1 > Bike 1 settings > Cadence sensor > Search new and press OK.

5.If the search is not successful, Cadence sensor not found or Other cadence sensors interfering. Move further., Try again? YES / NO is displayed.

6.Select YES to start the search again.

7.Select NO to cancel the searching.
