HOW TO PREPARE THE WRIST RECEIVER

1.Since the display is blank when the receiver leaves the factory, you have to activate the wrist receiver by pressing the OK button twice, after which the Time of day display appears. This is a one-off procedure; once you have turned on your receiver you can not turn it off anymore.

2.You may start measuring your heart rate right away using the default settings. However, the following settings are ones that it would be useful to change as soon as possible: Time of day (see section Setting the watch) and personal user settings (see section User information settings).

3.Wear the wrist receiver as you would wear an ordinary watch. If you need to shorten the wrist band we recommend you visit a local watch shop. However, if you wish to do it yourself keep the band sections the same so that the buckle will stay in the middle. Detach the buckle from the OK-button side band by pressing the spring, cut the band, attach the buckle. If needed, detach the buckle from the logo side band and cut the same length as you cut from the other band, attach the buckle.

2.Adjust the strap length to fit snugly and comfortably. Secure the strap around your chest, below the chest muscles.

3.Lift the transmitter off your chest and moisten the grooved electrode areas on the back.

4.Check that the wet electrode areas are firmly against your skin and the Polar logo is in a central, upright position.

HOW TO START MEASURING YOUR HEART RATE

1.Begin with the display that shows the time of day.

2.Keep the wrist receiver within 1 metre/ 3 feet of your transmitter.

3.Check that you are not near other people that have heart rate monitors, high voltage power lines, televisions, mobile phones or other sources of electromagnetic disturbance.

4.Press the OK button to start measuring your heart rate. A heart symbol will start flashing and your heart rate (beats per minute) will appear in a maximum of 15 seconds.
