Installing the Polar Bike Mount and Cycling
Computer

You can install the bike mount and the cycling
computer on the left or right side of the
handlebar or on the stem.

1.

Place the rubber part on the handlebar or
stem and insert the bike mount on top of it
(picture 2).

2.

Pass the cable ties over the bike mount and
adjust them around the handlebar/stem.
Secure the bike mount firmly. Cut off any
excess cable tie ends (picture 2).

3.

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.

Installing the Polar Speed Sensor

To install the speed sensor and spoke magnet,
you will need cutters and a cross-head
screwdriver.

1.

It is recommended to install the speed
sensor on the front fork (as in picture 1) of
your bicycle. Do not install the speed
sensor on the seat stay if the (optional)
power sensor is mounted.

2.

Attach the rubber part to the speed sensor
(picture 3).

3.

Pass the cable ties over the speed sensor
and rubber part (picture 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.

4.

Attach the magnet to a spoke at the same
level as the speed sensor. There is a small
caved dot at the backside of the sensor,
which indicates the spot the magnet should
be pointing at when passing the 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. Move
the sensor towards the wheel/spokes as close as
possible. The gap between the sensor and the
magnet should be under 4 mm/0.16’’. The gap
is correct when you can fit a cable tie between
the magnet and the sensor.

Rotate the front tire to test the speed sensor.
The flashing red light on the sensor indicates
that the magnet and the 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.

Before you start cycling, set the wheel size of
your bicycle into the cycling computer.

Speed Sensor Teaching

The cycling computer has to be coded to the
Speed Sensor i.e. taught to receive speed and
distance data. This enables exercising in a
group without interference from other sensors.

The cycling computer and sensor that come
with the product set have already been
synchronized but teaching is necessary when
you start using a new sensor or if you use other
bike settings than Bike 1.

Install the speed sensor to your bike as advised.
Before you start teaching, make sure that there
are no other speed sensors or cycling computers
nearby (40 m / 130 ft). The procedure only
takes a few seconds. You can teach one sensor
for each bike.

Select Settings > Bike > Bike 1/2/3 > Speed.

Select On/Off and On to turn the speed on.
Press OK. Teach new sensor? is displayed.

•

Select YES to confirm teaching. Rotate the
wheel a few times to activate the sensor. The
flashing red light indicates that the sensor is
activated. Completed is displayed once the
teaching process is over. The cycling
computer is now ready to receive speed and
distance data.

•

Select NO to cancel the teaching. The
teaching is cancelled and the cycling
computer resumes contact with the previous
sensor.

To return to Time mode, press and hold the
BACK button.
