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.
• See the glossary for display symbols and text interpretation.
Easy start
How to prepare the wrist receiver
1. Since the display is blank when the receiver leaves the
factory, you have to activate the wrist receiver 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 receiver 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 Watch settings)
and personal user settings (see section User information
settings).
3. Polar S810 has various functions that you can use
according to your personal training needs. For more
information, see section Modes and their functions. You
can either manually enter the settings by pressing the
receiver buttons or you can define your settings using
Polar Precision Performance software, after which the
data should be transferred from your computer to the
wrist receiver.
4. Wear the wrist receiver as you would wear an ordinary
watch. If you go biking, we recommend attaching the
wrist receiver to a Polar Bike Mount™.
A 8 A 9
How to put the transmitter on
1. Attach the transmitter to the elastic strap.
2. Adjust the strap length to fit snugly and
comfortably. Secure the strap around your
chest, just below the chest muscles, and
buckle it.
3. Lift the transmitter off your chest and
moisten the grooved electrode areas
on the back.
4. Check that the wet electrode areas are firmly
against your skin and the Polar logo 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 receiver within
1 metre/ 3 feet of your transmitter.
3. Check that you are not near other people
that have heart rate monitors, high voltage
power lines, televisions, mobile phones or
other sources of electromagnetic disturbance.
S810_manual_GBR _A.pm6 8/3/01, 14:158-9
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.
Modes and their functions
Your Polar S810 has six main modes: Time of day, Exercise, File, Options, Fitness
test and Connection. The S810 modes offer you the following features:
1. TIME OF DAY
• 12 h or 24 h time, alarm, date and weekday
• two time options
• backlight
In addition, the following functions can be uploaded from a computer
and utilised:
• 7 reminders to remind you with alarm sounds
• your personal logo, user number or user name
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.

to obtain the average value. This
is your baseline relaxation rate.
B 19B 18
S810_manual_GBR _A.pm6 8/3/01, 14:1518-19
For getting the most of your relaxation rate measure your baseline
relaxation rate:
• in that situation which best represents the time you will be using the
relaxation rate.
• always in the same way (e.g., laying down), place and time.
• split and lap times
• relaxation rate
Additionally, you can follow calories of your exercise session and percentage
of your maximum heart rate, if you have set all the user information and
turned the OwnCal calculator on.
Update the baseline value once a month or whenever you want to refer to
your value in different situations.
To continue your settings, press the stop button or to return to the Time of
day display, press and hold the stop button.
Exercise settings
When you start setting exercise preferences, you first select whether you
want to pre-programm an exercise profile or a BasicSet or exercise with the
BasicUse option.
BasicUse (E0)
BasicUse is a simple mode for exercising. You do not have to do any settings
before exercising with this Exercise mode. There are no heart rate limits in
use in this mode. While exercising, you can see the following optional values
on the display:
• current heart rate or average heart rate of the exercise
• stopwatch
• time of day
S810_manual_GBR _A.pm6 8/3/01, 14:1520-21
Exercise profile (E1-E7)
Exercise profile will guide you through the exercise with up to six preprogrammable phases. You can name the exercise profiles, e.g. , by the
exercise type. Profiles can be used for versatile exercises where different
phases are successive, e.g., in interval training.
During exercise, you can see the same optional values as in the BasicUse
mode. Heart rate limits and up to 30 interval and recovery periods can be set
for each phase.
BasicSet (E8)
BasicSet is a pre-programmable exercise set, but simpler than an exercise
profile. There are no phases available although three timers and a recovery
period help you split up the exercise session. The three adjustable heart rate
limits allow you to monitor your workouts, securing the correct intensity.
During exercise, you can see the same optional values as in the BasicUse
mode.
