Exercise Time Indicator

1 bullet = 10 minutes of exercise, 6 bullets = 1 hour of exercise. After one hour, when all the bullets are filled in, the cycle starts again.

After 9 hour 59 minutes of exercise the wrist unit returns to the OFF mode/TIME mode (F3). To start measuring your heart rate again, press the side button. This deletes the previous file.

3.To check your exercise time while exercising bring the wrist unit up to the Polar logo on the transmitter. Your elapsed exercise time appears for six seconds.

If the wrist unit does not detect your heart rate signal, 00 appears on the display as your heart rate value. If there is no heart rate signal for more than five minutes, the receiver automatically returns to the OFF mode/TIME mode.
