SEEING YOUR HEART RATE

You can see your heart rate in the bottom line of the display. The target zone information is displayed as follows:

You are exercising within the preset Target Zone.

Exercising within, above, and below the Target Zone is indicated only when the stopwatch is running.

TURNING THE TARGET ZONE SOUND SIGNAL ON OR OFF

Press and hold SIGNAL/LIGHT until the target zone sound signal appears or disappears.

Polar Coach saves the target zone sound signal setting i.e. the next time you start heart rate measurement the previous setting will be used.

Press SET/START/STOP to stop or start the stopwatch.

Average heart rate, maximum heart rate, and time below, within, and above the Target Zone are saved only when the stopwatch is running.

STARTING THE TIMERS

If the timers are turned on they automatically start running once you start the stopwatch. Timers alternate in the following order: Timer 1, Timer 2, Timer 1, Timer 2, etc. Timers stop running when you stop the stopwatch.

If you have set only Timer 1, it will not repeat itself after its time is up. You will hear six beeps when the time on Timer 1 has run out. One timer is helpful in knowing exactly when a preset exercise time has come

to an end and it is time to stretch and cool down.
