Useful tips

• Briefly pressing a button (approximately 1 second) will do different things than pressing and holding the button for a longer period of time (approximately 2 to 5 seconds). If your press the button for a longer period of time, you can use shortcuts.

• The buttons are slightly stiffer than those of an ordinary watch to prevent them from being pressed accidentally.

• You can always return to the Time of day display from the Options setting or File recalling loops by pressing and holding the stop button.

A 7

Easy start

How to prepare the wrist unit

1. Since the display is blank when the wrist unit leaves the factory, you have to activate the wrist unit 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 wrist unit 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. Your heart rate monitor has various functions that you can use according to your personal training needs. For more information, see section All that you can do with your Heart Rate Monitor. You can either manually enter the settings by pressing the wrist unit buttons or you can define your settings with Polar Precision Performance software, after which the data should be transferred from your PC to the wrist unit.

4. Wear the wrist unit as you would wear an ordinary watch. When you go biking, we recommend attaching the wrist unit to the Polar Bike Mount™.

A 8

If you are using Polar S725 with Polar Power Output Sensor, please see the bike mount and sensor installation instructions in the Power Output Sensor user manual. If you use the Power Sensor, you do not need to mount any other sensors on your bicycle.

Installing the Polar Bike Mount™

Use cable ties to secure the bike mount snugly on the rubber pad. Attach the wrist unit by securing the wrist strap.

Installing the Polar Speed Sensor™

max 50 cm / 1´8´´

The Polar Speed Sensor measures speed and distance when cycling.

1. Check the front side of the front fork to find a suitable place for the speed sensor. The sensor should be attached less than 50 cm/ 1’8" from the mounted wrist unit. The smaller the distance the better. Clean

60°

and dry the area underneath the rubber pad before you attach it to the front fork.

2. Place the sensor in the position as in

illustration 2. Then adjust the sensor towards the wheel as much as possible.

3. Pass the cable ties through the sensor holes and loosely adjust the ties. Do not tighten fully yet. If the cable ties are too short for your bicycle, put two of them together to make them longer.

Riding direction

A 9

4. There are two spoke magnet options.

You only need to install one of them.

Check which of the magnets fits the spoke of your bike best. One (A) is installed by rotating it around the spoke before putting the metal cover on, another (B) by tightening the screw. The magnet must be facing the speed sensor.

5. Fine-tune the positioning of both the

magnet and the sensor so that the magnet passes the sensor closely but does not touch it. The maximum distance between the speed sensor and the spoke magnet

should be 5 mm/ 0.2". Once positioned correctly, tighten the cable ties securely and cut off any excess cable tie ends.

Your safety is important to us. While riding your bike, please keep your eyes on the road to prevent possible accidents and injury. Check that you can turn the handle bar normally and cable wires for brakes or gearing do not catch on the sensor. Check also that the sensor does not disturb pedaling or the use of brakes or gearing.

A 10

How to put the transmitter on

1. Moisten the electrode areas of the strap under running water and make sure that they are well moistened.

2. Attach the connector to the strap. Position the connector's letter L to the word LEFT on the strap and snap the fastener.

3. Adjust the strap length to fit snugly and comfortably. Secure the strap around your chest, just below the chest muscles, and snap the second fastener.

4. Check that the wet electrode areas are firmly against your skin and that the Polar logo of the connector 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 unit within 1 meter/ 3 feet of your transmitter.

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

A 11

mobile phones may cause interference when starting the heart rate measurement.

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 wrist unit 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 elasticity and functioning of the transmitter. Sweat and moisture can keep the electrodes wet and the transmitter activated, which shortens battery life.

A 12

All that you can do with your Heart Rate Monitor

Here is a short overview of the modes of the wrist unit and the different functions they offer you.

1. TIME OF DAY

In this mode you can use your heart rate monitor as a watch since it can display the time, date, weekday, alarm and two different time zones. In addition, you can upload a personal logo, user number or user name from a PC. You can also upload 7 reminders with alarms.

2. MEASURING MODE (SEE SECTION C. EXERCISE)

In this mode your heart rate is displayed, but exercise information is not recorded or stored in the File mode. In Measuring mode you can choose the information that is displayed on the wrist unit during exercise.

3. RECORDING MODE (SEE SECTION C. EXERCISE)

In Recording mode your exercise is recorded and stopwatch and other calculations are started. You can use the BasicUse function when you just want to exercise without setting heart rate limits, timers or other exercise settings. If you use the settings mentioned above, you can program up to five exercise sets for different kind of exercises.

A 13

A. BasicUse is the easiest way to start exercising because you do not

have to set different heart rate limits or timers. You just start in Measuring mode and choose BasicUse and you are ready to go. You can select among several different heart rate or cycling information alternatives for the display of your wrist unit.

B. Freely programmable BasicSet offers you the possibility to set three functions to control your exercise session. 1. Three adjustable target heart rate limits (either HR or % of HR

limit types) 2. Three

max

adjustable alternating timers. 3. Time-based or heart rate-based recovery calculation. By using these functions, you can easily control your normal exercise session. You can program several different kinds of exercise sets. When training, choose the one that suits the training you plan to do best.

C. Freely programmable Interval Trainer automatically guides you through your interval training session. You can program the following exercise phases:

1. warm-up period with heart rate limits and a countdown timer

2. up to 30 intervals with target heart rate limits and an option for

a recovery calculation after each interval

3. a cool-down period, using a countdown timer after intervals Use of this Interval Training function leaves you free to concentrate on your exercise during the interval training. Your heart rate monitor takes care of observing timers and heart rate limits, all you have to do is exercise.

A 14

4. FILE (SEE SECTION D. HOW TO RECALL TRAINING INFORMATION)

In this mode you can recall your training information. Your heart rate monitor saves up to 99 files of exercise information when you use the Recording mode (stopwatch on).

5. OPTIONS (SEE SECTION B. HOW TO ENTER SETTINGS)

In the Options mode you set all your personal settings for optimal use of your heart rate monitor. It is highly recommended that you enter all your personal settings in your wrist unit before you start to use your heart rate monitor for the first time. By doing so, you guarantee the optimal functioning of your heart rate monitor. You can also use the Polar Precision Performance software to set and upload your personal settings from your PC to your wrist unit.

6. TEST (SEE SECTION E. POLAR FITNESS TEST)

In this mode you can carry out the Polar Fitness Test. This test estimates your maximal aerobic power (VO

) and shows the result as a Polar

2max

OwnIndex value. This test also provides a predicted maximum heart rate value (HR

-p). The Polar Fitness Test is designed to monitor your

max

personal progress. You should do the test regularly to see the changes in your cardiovascular fitness. Your heart rate monitor will memorize your last OwnIndex value.

A 15

7. CONNECTION (SEE SEPARATE CD-ROM SET)

In Connection mode you can download recorded training information from your wrist unit's memory to your PC for more elaborated analysis. You can also upload your wrist unit settings from your PC. To perform the above-mentioned operations, you need the Polar Precision Performance software.

A 16

B. HOW TO ENTER SETTINGS

This section describes how to manually enter settings by pressing the wrist unit buttons. However, Polar heart rate monitor offers you another and faster way as well: prepare your settings with Polar Precision Performance software and upload them to your wrist unit from your PC.
