USING THE POLAR RS800 TRAINING SYSTEM

Plan your training program with ProTrainer 5

The program can be built up from an unlimited number of training sessions with each session comprising up to 12 phases with an unlimited amount of repetitions.

The duration of each training phase can be based on time, distance, increasing heart rate, decreasing heart rate or manually set during exercise (activate/deactivate through button push on the wrist unit). Phase intensity can be defined in Polar sport zones, as a percentage of maximum heart rate or left unspecified.

Transfer up to 21 pre-planned training sessions to the RS800 wrist unit via infra-red (IrDA) link. The RS800 sets a reminder alarm for the specified date and time of each session and configures itself automatically with the desired settings.

NB: ProTrainer is very powerful and extremely configurable. To best experience what this software can do for your training planning download a free trial version from www.polar.fi

Create Training Programs Directly on the RS800
