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.
5.Press OK again. The stopwatch starts running and you can start exercising. The exercise data will only be stored in a file if you have turned the stopwatch on.
How to Stop Measuring Your Heart Rate
1.Press the stop button. The stopwatch and other calculations stop.
The heart rate measuring continues, although exercise data is no longer recorded.
2.Press the stop button again. The heart rate measuring stops. The receiver shows the Time of Day display again.
After Exercising
1.Carefully wash the transmitter with a mild soap and water solution.
2.Rinse it with pure water.
3.Dry the transmitter carefully with a soft towel.
4.Store the transmitter in a clean and dry place. Dirt impairs the conductivity and functioning of the transmitter. Sweat and moisture can keep the electrodes wet and the transmitter activated, which shortens battery life.
Modes and Their Functions
Your receiver has six main modes: Time of Day, Exercise, File, Options, Fitness test and Connection.
1. TIME OF DAY
You can use your Polar heart rate monitor as an ordinary watch that shows the date and the day of the week, as well as contains an alarm function. You can also change between two different countries’ time zones.
2. EXERCISE
In the Exercise mode, you measure your heart rate and exercise information is recorded in the File mode. You can preset up to five exercise sets for your personal needs. When you start exercising, just select one of the saved sets. Or, you can select BasicUse (heart rate measurement without heart rate limits, timers or other exercise guiding functions).
