1.3 INSTALLING THE BIKE MOUNT, CYCLING COMPUTER AND SPEED SENSOR
1.3.1 BIKE MOUNT AND CYCLING COMPUTER
1. You can install the bike mount and the cycling computer on the left or right side of the handlebar or on the stem with cable ties.
2.
3.
12 – ENGLISH
2. Place the rubber part on the handlebar or stem and insert the bike mount on top of it.
3. Pass the cable ties over the bike mount and adjust
them around the handlebar/
stem. Secure the bike mount fi rmly. Cut off any excess cable tie ends.
4. Position the cycling computer on to the bike mount. Turn the cycling computer clockwise until you hear a click. You can release the cycling computer by pressing it down and simultaneously turning it counter clockwise.
1.3.2 SPEED SENSOR
To install the speed sensor and spoke magnet, you need cutters and a small screwdriver.
1.
1. Attach the speed sensor
2.
to the opposite side of the front fork from the mounted cycling computer.
The speed sensor and the
cycling computer should be no more than 30-40 cm/
3.
1’-1’3’’ apart.
In case, the cycling computer is attached to the stem or if you are exercising in surroundings with electromagnetic interference, the distance should be minimized (minimum 30 cm/1’). The speed sensor and cycling computer should form approximately a 90° angle.
Should the distance between the cycling computer and the
4.
speed sensor be longer than recommended (for example on mountain bikes due to the front suspension), the speed sensor could be attached on the same side of the front fork as the cycling computer. In this case the maximum distance is 50 cm/1´6”.
2. Attach the rubber part to the sensor.
3. Pass the cable ties through the speed sensor and rubber part holes.
4. Adjust the sensor to the front fork so that the POLAR logo faces outwards. Adjust the ties loosely. Do not tighten
them fully yet.
ENGLISH – 13
5.
5. Attach the magnet to a spoke
at the same level as the sensor. The magnet hole must be facing the speed
max 4 mm / 0’16”
sensor. Fasten the magnet to the spoke and tighten it loosely with a screwdriver. Do not tighten it fully yet.
Fine-tune the positioning of both the magnet and the speed sensor so that the magnet passes close to the sensor but does not touch it. Adjust the sensor towards the wheel/ spokes as much as possible. The gap between the sensor and the magnet should be under 4 mm/0’16’’. The gap is correct when you can fi t a cable tie just about between the magnet and the sensor.
Rotate the front tyre so that you can see a speed reading on the display of your cycling computer. The reading indicates that the magnet and the speed sensor are positioned correctly. Once the magnet and the speed sensor are posi­tioned correctly, tighten the screw to the magnet with a screwdriver. Also tighten the cable ties securely and cut off any excess cable tie ends.
14 – ENGLISH
Your safety is important to us. While riding your bike, please keep your eyes on the road to prevent any accidents and injury. Check that you can turn the handlebar normally and that the cable wires for brakes or gearing do not catch on the bike mount or the speed sensor. Check also that the bike mount or speed sensor does not hamper pedaling or the use of brakes or gearing.
Before you start cycling, you should set the wheel size of your bicycle into the cycling computer. For further information see pages 39-42.
1.4 WEARING YOUR TRANSMITTER
Coded heart rate transmission reduces interference from other heart rate monitors that are close by. To make sure that the code search is successful and to ensure trouble-free heart rate monitoring, keep the cycling computer within 1 meter/ 3 feet of your transmitter. Check that you are not near other people with heart rate monitors or any source of electromagnetic disturbance. For further information on interference, see Precautions on page 53.
To measure your heart rate, you need to wear the transmitter.
1.
1. Attach one end of the
3.
transmitter to the elastic strap.
3. Lift the transmitter off your chest and moisten the two grooved electrode areas on the back.
2.
2. Adjust the strap length to fi t
4.
snugly and comfortably. Secure the strap around your chest, just below the chest muscles, and buckle the strap to the transmitter.
See the following chapter for how to start measuring your heart rate.
See detailed washing instructions in Care and Maintenance chapter.
4. Check that the wet electrode areas are fi rmly against your skin and that the Polar logo is in a central, upright position.

5.3.1 OWNZONE
The Polar cycling computer is able to determine your individual aerobic (cardiovascular) exercise heart rate zone automatically. This is called OwnZone (OZ).
OwnZone is based on measuring changes in heart rate variability during your warm up. Heart rate variability refl ects changes in your physiology. For most adults OwnZone corresponds to 65-85 % of maximum heart rate. OwnZone can be determined in 1-5 minutes during a warm-up period by cycling, walking or jogging. OwnZone may be easier to fi nd during indoor cycling than outdoor cycling because the speed is easier to control. The main idea is that you start exercising slowly at a light intensity, i.e., heart rate lower than 100 bpm/50 % HR
. You then gradually increase the intensity of your
max
exercise to raise your heart rate as smoothly as possible. Using OwnZone makes exercise easier and more enjoyable.
OwnZone has been developed for healthy people. Some health conditions may cause heart rate variability based OwnZone determination to fail, for example high blood pressure, some cardiac arrhythmias, and some medications.
36 – ENGLISH
Determining Your OwnZone Heart Rate Limits
Before you start to determine your OwnZone, make sure of the following:
• You have entered your user settings correctly. The cycling computer will ask for missing information (for example date of birth) before accepting limit settings.
• You have activated the OwnZone limits. With the OwnZone function on, the cycling computer will automatically determine your OwnZone every time you start recording an exercise session.
You should redefi ne your OwnZone:
• when changing your exercise environment or exercise mode;
• if you are returning to exercise after a more than one week off;
• if you feel unusual about the physical state of your body when starting to exercise. For example you are stressed, not recovered from the previous training or not feeling well;
• after changing your settings.
1. Start from the Time mode and press the MIDDLE button. The OwnZone symbol
appears on the display. If you
want to skip OwnZone determination and use the previously determined OwnZone, press the MIDDLE button.
2. OwnZone determination starts. Determination of your OwnZone happens in fi ve stages. Cycle or walk at a slow pace for 1 min. Keep your heart rate below 100 bpm/ 50 % HR
during this fi rst
max
stage. After each stage you will hear a beep (if the sound settings are on) and the display automatically illuminates (if you have switched the backlight on once before), indicating the end of the stage.
Cycle or walk at a normal pace for 1 min. Slowly increase your heart rate by 10-20 bpm/ 5 % HR Cycle or walk at a brisk pace for 1 min. Slowly increase your heart rate by 10-20 bpm/ 5 % HR

max
.
3. At some point during the stages, you hear two beeps. Your OwnZone has been determined. If the determination was successful, OwnZone and Updated alternate with the heart rate limits on the display. The limits are displayed as beats per minute (bpm) or as a percentage of your maximum heart rate (%HR
) depending on your settings.
max
4. If the determination was not successful, your previously determined OwnZone limits will be used and OwnZone appears with the limits on the display. If you are determining your OwnZone for the fi rst time, then the limits based on your age will be used.
You can now continue with your exercise. Try to stay within the given heart rate zone to maximize exercise benefi ts.

8. PRECAUTIONS
The Polar cycling computer shows your performance indicators. It indicates the level of physiological strain and intensity during your training session. It also measures speed and distance when cycling with a Polar speed sensor. No other use is intended or implied.
Electromagnetic Interference
Disturbances may occur near high voltage power lines, traffi c lights, overhead lines of electric railways, electric bus lines or trams, televisions, car motors, bike computers, some motor driven exercise equipment, cellular phones, or when you walk through electric security gates.
Minimizing Risks When Training
Training may include some risk. Before beginning a regular training program, answer the following questions concern­ing your health status. If you answer yes to any of these questions, consult a physician before starting any training program.
• Have you been physically inactive for the past fi ve years?
• Do you have high blood pressure or high blood choles­terol?
54 – ENGLISH
• Do you have symptoms of any disease?
• Are you taking any blood pressure or heart medication?
• Do you have a history of breathing problems?
• Are you recovering from a serious illness or medical treatment?
• Do you use a pacemaker or another implanted electronic device?
• Do you smoke?
• Are you pregnant?
In addition to exercise intensity, medications for heart con­ditions, blood pressure, psychological conditions, asthma, breathing, etc., as well as some energy drinks, alcohol, nicotine and drugs may also affect heart rate.
It is important to be sensitive to your body’s responses during exercise. If you feel unexpected pain or excessive
fatigue when exercising, it is recommended that you stop the exercise or continue at a lighter intensity.
Note! If you are using a pacemaker, you can use Polar
training computers. In theory interference to pacemaker caused by Polar products should not be possible. In practice no reports exist to suggest anyone ever having
experienced interference. We cannot however issue an offi cial guarantee on our products’ suitability with all pacemakers or other implanted devices due to the variety of devices available. If you have any doubts, or if you experience any unusual sensations while using Polar products, please consult your physician or contact the implanted electronic device manufacturer to determine safety in your case.
If you are allergic to any substance that comes into contact with your skin or if you suspect an allergic reaction due to using the product, check the listed
materials on page 58. To avoid any skin reaction to the
transmitter, wear it over a shirt. However, moisten the shirt
well under the electrodes to ensure fl awless operation.
Note:
The combined impact of moisture and intense abrasion may cause a black color to come off the
transmitter’s surface, possibly staining light-colored
clothes. If you use insect repellent on your skin, you must ensure that it does not come into contact with the
transmitter.
Training equipment with electronic components may cause interfering stray signals. To tackle these problems,
try the following:
1. Remove the transmitter from your chest and use the training equipment as you would normally.
2. Move the wrist unit around until you fi
nd an area in which it displays no stray reading or does not fl ash the heart symbol. Interference is often worst right in front of the display panel of the equipment, while the left or right side of the display is relatively free of disturbance.
3. Put the transmitter back on your chest and keep the wrist unit in this interference-free area as much as possible.
If the CS100 still does not work, the piece of equipment may be electrically too noisy for wireless heart rate measurement.
