Calibrating the Altitude Automatically

No: Altitude calibration canceled is displayed.

Calibrate the altitude to ensure it remains accurate. Set the reference altitude whenever a reliable reference, such as a peak or a topographic map, is available or when at sea level.

Select Settings > Features > Altitude > AutoCalib > On / Off

By using the altitude Automatic Calibration option, you can adjust the starting elevation to be set always the same in the beginning of the exercise. Calibrate the elevation manually and turn the Automatic Calibration (AutoCalib) on. From now on, this elevation will be always used as the base elevation in the beginning or the exercise, when automatic altitude calibration is in use. Also, if the Automatic Calibration is turned on and you calibrate the Training System manually, this new value will be used as a new starting elevation for the Automatic Calibration option.

If the elevation or air pressure changes significantly, you are prompted to confirm the change. If you change the elevation,Altitude calibrated to xx m/ft indicates that calibration has succeeded.If Altitude calibration failed is displayed, re-calibrate the altitude.

You can also set the elevation for the Automatic Calibration also by using the Polar Equine software. For more information see software help.

Select this option if you train in the same environment. This way, altitude values are always correct. If the sport profile of the exercise includes automatic calibration ,altitude measurement always begins at this elevation regardless of the general elevation settings.

Recording Rate

Select Settings > Features > Rec.rate > 1 / 5 / 15 / 60 sec

The Training System can store your heart rate, speed, cadence, power and altitude in 1, 5, 15 or 60 second intervals. A longer interval gives you more recording time, while a shorter interval allows you to record more heart and other data. This enables accurate data analysis using the Polar Equine software.

A shorter recording rate consumes the memory of the Training System more rapidly. The remaining recording time is displayed on the lower row when setting the rate. Default recording rate is 5 seconds.

When less than 30 minutes of maximum recording time is left, the recording rate changes automatically to longer recording time (1s > 5s > 15s > 60s). This will maximize recoding time to record exercise data. When the session ends, the current recording rate will be used in the next training session.

The following table shows the maximum recording times for each recording rate. The maximum recording time can be shorter, if you record a large number of short exercises.

CS600X specifications

The Polar CS600X is a highly regarded cycling computer designed for serious cyclists who seek to enhance their training experience and monitor their performance metrics accurately. This advanced device seamlessly integrates cutting-edge technology with user-friendly features, making it an excellent choice for both competitive cyclists and fitness enthusiasts.

One of the most prominent features of the Polar CS600X is its advanced heart rate monitor. The device uses Polar’s proprietary WearLink technology, which provides accurate heart rate readings to help users manage their training intensity. By monitoring heart rate, cyclists can optimize their workouts and avoid overtraining, thus improving overall performance.

In addition to heart rate monitoring, the CS600X includes speed and distance measurement capabilities. The speed sensor, which can be mounted on the bike’s wheel, allows for real-time feedback on speed and distance traveled, enabling users to set personal bests and track progress over time. Cyclists can also customize their training zones, which helps in targeting specific physical goals.

Another standout characteristic of the CS600X is its ability to track cadence, providing crucial information about pedal revolutions per minute. Tracking cadence enables cyclists to improve their efficiency and power output, as it can indicate whether they are riding at an optimal speed.

For the tech-savvy cyclist, the CS600X is equipped with a user-friendly interface that boasts an easy-to-read display, making it simple to navigate through various functions and data screens. The device also features a versatile data export option, allowing cyclists to download their training data to computers or compatible applications for further analysis. This can prove invaluable for tracking long-term progress and adapting training regimens accordingly.

The CS600X also supports Polar’s Smart Coaching features, which offer tailored training guidance and advice based on individual fitness levels and goals. This adaptive training recommendation can help cyclists plan their sessions more effectively and achieve a higher level of fitness.

With its robust construction, the Polar CS600X is weather-resistant, making it suitable for all types of riding conditions. Moreover, the device enjoys a lengthy battery life, ensuring that cyclists can rely on it during long rides without the concern of running out of power.

In summary, the Polar CS600X is a feature-rich cycling computer that excels in performance tracking and training optimization. Its advanced heart rate, speed, distance, and cadence monitoring, combined with a user-friendly interface and robust construction, make it an indispensable tool for cyclists serious about improving their performance.
