START THE HEART RATE

MEASUREMENT

1.Wear the transmitter and receiver as described in Getting started.

2.Make sure that the Polar Coach successfully establishes a heart rate code to avoid interference during measurement:

•Keep the receiver within 3 feet/1 meter of the Polar Coded Transmitter you are wearing.

•Check that you are not near other people with heart rate monitors and that there are not high voltage power lines, televisions, mobile phones, cars, motor driven exercise equipment, electric railways, bus lines etc. near you during the code search.

3.Begin with the display showing Time of day.

4.Press SELECT to enter the MEASURE mode.

According to your settings the display will look as follows:

Int OFF

Int ON

Heart rate measurement mode	Interval training mode
(	symbol in the display)

The wrist receiver searches for the coded transmission for a maximum of 20 seconds.

Heart rate measurement commences and the heart symbol inside the frame starts flashing. Your heart rate reading (in beats per minute) appears in the display.

If the code search was not successful, the frame around the heart symbol will disappear after 20 seconds. Go back to step 2 to repeat the code search.

If you still do not succeed in code searching, but your heart rate is displayed and the heart symbol without a frame is flashing, you can start exercising but your wrist receiver may pick up interference from other heart rate monitors.

5.Start the stopwatch by pressing SET/START/STOP. Stopwatch starts running and you hear a long beep. Automatic heart rate recording begins.

Display is illuminated for a few seconds.

6.You can now start exercising with your heart rate monitor.
