TRAINING WITH YOUR V650
When you use our heart rate sensors when riding, you get the most
out of Polar’s unique Smart Coaching features. Heart rate data gives
you an insight into your physical condition and how your body
responds to training. This will help you ne-tune your training plans
and achieve your goals more eectively.
TRAINING WITH HEART RATE
If you bought your V650 without a heart rate sensor, not to worry,
you can buy one at any time.
1. Moisten the electrode
area of the strap.
2. Attach the connector to
the strap.
3. Tie the strap around your
chest, just below the
chest muscles, and attach
the hook to the other end
of the strap. Adjust the
strap length to t tightly
but comfortably.
4. Before starting your rst
training session, you
need to pair the heart
rate sensor with your
V650. While wearing the
heart rate sensor, go
to Settings > General
settings > Pairing > Pair
new device.
Detach the connector from the strap, and rinse the strap
under running waterafter every training session. Sweat
and moisture may keep the heart rate sensor activated,
so also remember to wipe it dry.
START TRAINING
Choose the prole you want to use. Keep your V650 still with the
display facing upwards until it nds the GPS satellite signals. This
typically takes 30-60 seconds the rst time. On future occasions it
should take only a few seconds. V650 is ready once the green circle
around GPS is static. Press the front button to begin your ride.
DURING TRAINING
The bright color touch screen allows you to easily check your
training data during your ride. Change the training views with a
quick swipe across the screen.
