2. INSTALL

2.1 INSTALL BIKE MOUNT

2.2 INSTALL SPEED SENSOR

Use cable ties to secure the bike mount snugly on the handlebar as shown above. To ensure the most accurate reading, attach the wrist unit to the bike mount every time you do a cycling exercise.

max 50 cm / 1’6’’

1. Attach the speed sensor on the opposite side of the front fork than the mounted cycling computer. The distance from the cycling computer should be 30-40 cm/1’-1’3’’. 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.

If the distance between the cycling computer and the speed sensor should be longer than recommended (for example with mountain bikes with the front suspension), the speed sensor should 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 cable ties through the sensor and rubber part holes (picture 3). Adjust the sensor to the front fork so that the POLAR logo faces outward (picture 4). Adjust the ties loosely. Do not tighten them fully yet.

4. Attach the magnet to a spoke at the same level as the sensor (picture 5). The magnet hole must be facing the speed 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. The reading indicates that the magnet and the speed sensor are positioned correctly. Tighten the screw on the magnet and the cable ties securely and cut off any excess cable ends.

BEFORE RIDING YOUR BIKE

• Make sure that you can turn the handlebar and the pedals normally, and that the cable wires for brakes or gearing do not catch on the bike mount or sensors.

5. Attach the wrist unit to the bike mount and start a CYCLING exercise. (See chapter 3.2 Record Your Exercise.)

• Enter the wheel size of your bicycle into the cycling computer for accurate speed and distance readings. For further information, see chapter 2.3 Bike Settings.

Note:

• Start exercising slowly and keep your eyes on the road to prevent any accidents and injury.

• Avoid hard hits to the speed sensor as these may damage it.

• Polar speed sensor may be used in the rain.

ENG

2.3 BIKE SETTINGS (BIKE)

The cycling computer can be programmed for two separate bike preferences. Select bike 1 or bike 2 when you start recording.

View or change the following bike settings in the Settings menu. Select Settings -> Bike -> BIKE 1 or BIKE 2:

1. AUTOSTART: ON / OFF

The AutoStart function starts or stops exercise recording automatically when you start or stop cycling. You have to install the Polar Speed Sensor to use the AutoStart function. For further information, see chapter 2.2 Install Speed Sensor.

2. CADENCE: ON / OFF

Cadence is the speed at which you turn the cranks of your bicycle measured in revolutions per minute (rpm). Install an optional Polar Cadence Sensor on your bicycle to access the cadence features of your cycling computer.

3. DISTANCE: Target dist ON / OFF (Estimated Time of Arrival) Set the distance you are going to ride, and the cycling computer will calculate and display the estimated time of arrival based on cycling speed. Install the Polar Speed Sensor on your bike to measure speed and distance. For further information, see chapter 2.2 Install Speed Sensor.

4. WHEEL SIZE

Wheel size settings are a prerequisite for accurate cycling information. To measure size, choose one of two methods:

METHOD 1

1. Find the wheel diameter printed on the frame.

2. Match the diameter in inches or in ETRTO to wheel size in millimeters on the right side of the chart. Note that wheel sizes in the above chart are approximate, as wheel size depends on wheel type and air pressure.

METHOD 2

1. Starting with the valve stem exactly at the bottom with a mark on the ground, move your bike on a ﬂ at surface straight ahead for one complete wheel rotation. The tire should be perpendicular to the ground. Mark the point at which the valve stem is exactly at the bottom again.

ETRTO

3. START EXERCISING

3.1 WEAR THE TRANSMITTER

1. Wet the electrodes (bits of cross-ply fabric) on the strap with water.

2. Attach one end of the connector to the strap. (LEFT=L or RIGHT=R.)

3. Adjust the length until the strap ﬁ ts snugly around your chest. The Polar logo should be in a central, upright position. Fasten the other end of the connector to the strap.

4. Unfasten the belt after exercise by applying pressure with your thumb and foreﬁ nger and turn as indicated in the picture.

3.2 RECORD YOUR EXERCISE

1. Wear the transmitter and wrist unit. Start heart rate measurement by pressing OK. Exercise is displayed and the cycling computer starts to search for your heart rate. Preferably, there should be no other heart rate monitors nearby (within 1m / 3ft) to avoid interference.

2. Within 15 seconds, your heart rate is shown in digits, and appears on the display. The frame around the heart symbol indicates that transmission is coded. Coding blocks interference from nearby heart rate monitors.

3.3.1 OWNZONE LIMITS (OWNZONE)

OwnZone is your individual aerobic (cardiovascular) training zone that is determined automatically. OwnZone ensures that you exercise within safe limits, and makes exercising easier and more enjoyable.

OwnZone is based on measuring changes in heart rate variability. OwnZone may vary daily, depending on your physical and mental condition. For most adults, OwnZone corresponds to 65-85% of maximum heart rate.

It is advisable to use OwnZone every time you exercise. Otherwise, deﬁ ne your OwnZone,

• When changing exercise environment or exercise mode.

• When taking up exercise after more than a week’s break.

• If you are not 100 percent sure of your physical or mental state. For example, if you are not recovered from previous training, not feeling well or are stressed.

• After changing your user settings.

OwnZone has been developed for healthy persons. Some health conditions may cause heart rate variability-based OwnZone determination to fail, e.g. high blood pressure, certain cardiac arrhythmias, and some medication. In such cases, your age-based limits are used in OwnZone determination.

ENG

Determining Your OwnZone Heart Rate Limits

Find your OwnZone limits in 1-5 minutes during a warm up period by cycling or walking/jogging. You should start exercising gently at a light intensity and gradually increase intensity to raise heart rate.

Before you start, make sure that,

• Your user settings are correct.

• The OwnZone function is activated. The cycling computer will automatically determine OwnZone every time you start exercising if the OwnZone function is on.

1. Start recording exercise. The OwnZone symbol

appears on the display. To skip OwnZone determination and use the limits from your

previous session, press OK.

2. OwnZone determination begins. The process happens in ﬁ ve stages. A beep will signal the end of each stage (if the sound settings are on), and the display will automatically light up (if you have switched the backlight on once before). Avoid stopping during OwnZone determination.

1. Cycle or walk at a slow pace for 1 min. Keep your heart rate below 100 bpm/ 50 % HR

2. Cycle or walk at a normal pace for 1 min. Slowly increase your heart rate by approximately 10 bpm/ 5 % HR

3. Cycle or walk at a brisk pace for 1 min. Increase your heart rate by approximately 10 bpm/ 5 % HR

4. Cycle at a brisk pace or jog at a slow pace for 1 min. Increase your heart rate by approximately 10 bpm/ 5 % HR

5. Cycle or jog at a brisk pace or run for 1 min. Increase your heart rate by approximately 10 bpm/ 5 % HR

during this ﬁ rst stage.

max

3. At some point during the session, you will hear two, consecutive beeps. This means OwnZone has been determined. If determination was successful, OwnZone Updated will alternate with the heart rate limits on your display. The limits are displayed in beats per minute (bpm) or as a percentage of maximum heart rate (%HR

) depending on your settings.

max

4. If OwnZone determination was not successful, your previously determined OwnZone will be used and OwnZone Limits appears with the limits on the display. If OwnZone has not previously been recorded, age-based limits will be used.

5. Proceed with your exercise. Try to stay inside the given heart rate zone to maximize exercise beneﬁ ts.

Note: If you skip the OwnZone determination or if the determination fails, the previous OwnZone limits or age-based limits will be used.

ENG

3.3.2 AUTOMATIC LIMITS (AUTOMATIC)

Automatic limits are determined using an age-based formula (220 minus age). The limits are displayed either in beats per minute (bpm) or as a percentage (%) of your maximum heart rate. Your date of birth is required for the cycling computer to calculate the automatic limits.

Choose automatic limits in four exercise intensities:

HARD

80-90% HR the interval, the higher the intensity. Make sure you recover sufﬁ ciently between intervals.

MODERATE 70-80% HR

LIGHT

60-70% HR as the main source of energy. It also prepares your body for higher intensity training.

3.3.4 CADENCE LIMITS (CADENCE)

Set the upper and lower cadence limits for a cycling session. For this you need an optional cadence sensor.

Note: If you choose the cadence limits for a non-cycling (OTHER) exercise, automatic limits are in use by default.

Tip: In general, it is advisable to maintain cadence between 80 and 100 rpm. To build muscular strength, ride with low gears and low

cadence. To increase suppleness, use high gears and high cadence.

3.4 TIMERS (TIMERS)

Your cycling computer is equipped with two alternating timers, allowing you to set one repeating or two alternating time intervals. The timers function during exercise recording.

Tip: Use the timers as a reminder to drink at certain intervals or as a training tool in interval training, prompting you to switch from a harder pace to a lighter one or vice versa.

4.3.2 FITNESS TEST RESULTS

OwnIndex

The Polar Fitness Test results in a value called the OwnIndex. This is a value comparable to maximal oxygen uptake (VO commonly used to evaluate aerobic (cardiovascular) ﬁ tness. Your long-term level of physical activity, heart rate, heart rate variability at rest, gender, age, height and body weight all inﬂ uence OwnIndex.

OwnIndex is useful for following the development in your ﬁ tness level over a longer period of time. When aiming to improve aerobic ﬁ tness, a noticeable change in OwnIndex can be seen in 6 weeks on average. Less ﬁ t individuals may see progress occur even more rapidly, while more time is needed for ﬁ tter individuals. The better your aerobic ﬁ tness, the smaller the improvements in OwnIndex.

To monitor your progress, start by measuring your OwnIndex a couple of times during the ﬁ rst two weeks in order to get a baseline value. Then, repeat the test approximately once a month.

PRECAUTIONS

The Polar cycling computer displays performance indicators. It indicates the level of physiological strain and exercise intensity. It also measures speed and distance when cycling with a Polar speed sensor. No other use is intended or implied.

Minimizing Possible Risks When Exercising

Exercise may include some risk. Before beginning a regular exercise program, it is recommended that you answer the following questions concerning your health status. If you answer yes to any of these questions, we recommend that you consult a doctor before starting any training program.

• Have you been physically inactive for the past 5 years?

• Do you have high blood pressure or high blood cholesterol?

• 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 other implanted electronic device?

• Do you smoke?

• Are you pregnant?

Note that in addition to exercise intensity, medications for heart conditions, blood pressure, psychological conditions, asthma, breathing, etc., as well as some energy drinks, alcohol, and nicotine 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.

Notice to individuals with pacemakers, deﬁ brillators or other implanted electronic devices. Individuals who have a pacemaker use

the Polar cycling computer at their own risk. Before starting use, we always recommend a maximal exercise stress test under a doctor’s supervision. The test is to ensure the safety and reliability of the simultaneous use of the pacemaker and the Polar cycling computer.

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 in chapter Technical Speciﬁ cations. 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.

Using Your Polar Cycling Computer in Water

The wrist unit may be worn when swimming. It is not, however, a diving instrument. To maintain water resistance, do not press the buttons of the wrist unit under water. When measuring heart rate in water, you may experience interference for the following reasons:

• Pool water with a high chlorine content and seawater are very conductive. The electrodes of a transmitter may short-circuit, preventing ECG signals from being detected by the transmitter.

• Jumping into water or a strenuous muscle movement during competitive swimming may shift the transmitter to a location on the body where ECG signals cannot be picked up.

• The ECG signal strength is individual and may vary depending on the individual’s tissue composition. Problems occur more frequently when measuring heart rate in water.

Electromagnetic Interference and Exercise Equipment

• 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.

• To avoid erratic readings, move away from possible sources of disturbance.

• Several pieces of exercise equipment with electronic or electrical components such as LED displays, motors, and electrical brakes may cause interfering stray signals. To tackle these problems, try the following:

1. Remove the transmitter from your chest and use the exercise 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 cycling computer still does not work with the exercise equipment, this piece of equipment may be electrically too noisy for wireless heart rate measurement.

Crosstalk When in non-coded mode, the wrist unit picks up transmitter signals within 1 m / 3ft. Simultaneous non-coded signals from more than one transmitter can cause an incorrect reading.

• If another person with a cycling computer or a heart rate monitor is causing interference, move away from that person and continue your exercise normally.

• Alternatively, to avoid other people’s heart rate signals:

1. Take the transmitter off your chest for 30 seconds. Move away from the other device.

2. Put the transmitter back on and bring the cycling computer up to your chest near the transmitter’s Polar logo. The cycling computer will start looking for a heart rate signal again. Continue your exercise normally.

To avoid crosstalk from another cyclist with a speed sensor, keep a distance of at least one meter between your cycling computer and the speed sensor of the other cyclist.

...the heart rate reading becomes erratic, extremely high or shows nil (00)?

• Make sure the wrist unit is no further than 1 m / 3 ft from the transmitter.

• Make sure the transmitter belt has not loosened during exercise.

• Make sure the textile electrodes in sports apparel ﬁ t snugly.

• Make sure that the electrodes of the transmitter / sports apparel are moistened.

• Make sure the transmitter / electrodes in the sports apparel are clean and undamaged.

• Make sure that there is no other heart rate transmitter within 1 m / 3 ft.

• Strong electromagnetic signals can cause erratic readings. See Precautions.

• If the erratic heart rate reading continues despite moving away from the source of disturbance, slow down your speed and check your pulse manually. If you feel it corresponds to the high reading on the display, you may be experiencing cardiac arrhythmia. Most cases of arrhythmia are not serious, but consult your doctor nevertheless.

• A cardiac event may have altered your ECG waveform. In this case, consult your physician.

• If the heart rate measurement does not work with the sports apparel, try measuring with WearLink strap. If your heart rate can be found with the strap, the problem is most probably in the apparel. Please contact the apparel retailer/manufacturer.

• If you have done all the above mentioned actions, and heart rate measurement does not work, the battery of your transmitter may be empty. For further information see chapter Care and maintenance.
