Polar Speed Sensor Bluetooth®Smart is
designed to measure speed and distance when
cycling.
Polar Speed Sensor Bluetooth®Smart is
compatible with Bluetooth®Smart Ready
devices that support Bluetooth®Cycling Speed
and Cadence Service. When using a
smartphone, a separate application is required
to view speed sensor data. It is recommended to
use the Polar Beat application but it is also
possible to use other applications.

If you have a polarpersonaltrainer.com account,
Polar Beat automatically synchronizes your
training files to it. Please note that you must
sign in to your polarpersonaltrainer.com account
when starting Polar Beat for the autosync to
work.
The latest version of this user manual can be
downloaded at www.polar.com/support.
Please follow the pictures on the inner covers.
Write the device ID printed on your speed
sensor in the space on the inner front cover
(picture 1). The original marking may fade as
a result of normal wear and tear.
Product Elements
1. Polar Universal Bike Mount (picture 2 A).
Use cable ties to secure the bike mount
snugly on the handlebar (picture 3).
2. Speed sensor, rubber part and spoke
magnet (picture 2 B).

Installing the Speed Sensor
For a video tutorial, see Installing Polar Speed
Sensor Bluetooth®Smart at
www.polar.com/en/polar_community/videos.
To install the speed sensor and spoke magnet,
you need cutters and a cross-head screwdriver.
1. It is recommended to install the speed
sensor on the front fork of your bicycle (as
in picture 2). 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 4).
3. Pass the cable ties over the speed sensor
and rubber part (picture 5). 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.
ENGLISH 3
5. 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.
6. 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. If you keep
rotating the tire, the light will go off.
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 receiving device or
mobile application.
Speed Sensor Pairing
Your new speed sensor must be paired with the
receiving device in order to receive speed and
distance data. This enables training in a group
without interference from other sensors. For
more information, see the user guidance
material of the receiving device or mobile
application.
4ENGLISH
Care and Maintenance
Keep the speed sensor clean. Clean it with a mild soap
and water solution and rinse off with clean water. Dry it
carefully with a soft towel. Never use alcohol or any
abrasive material such as steel wool or cleaning
chemicals. Do not immerse the speed sensor in water.
Your safety is important to us. Make sure that you can
turn your handlebars normally and that the cable wires
for brakes or gears do not catch the bike mount or the
sensor. Also, make sure that the sensor does not
disturb pedaling or using the brakes or gears. While
riding your bike, keep your eyes on the road to prevent
possible accidents and injury. Avoid hard hits as these
may damage the sensor.
Replacement magnet sets and bike mounts can be
purchased separately.
Speed Sensor Battery
The battery cannot be replaced. The sensor is sealed in
order to maximize mechanical longevity and reliability.
To purchase a new sensor, contact your authorized
Polar Service Center or retailer.
The battery level of your sensor is displayed on the
receiving device if it supports Bluetooth®Battery
Service.
To increase battery life, Polar Speed Sensor Bluetooth®
Smart goes into power saving mode in ten minutes if
the magnet is not passing the sensor.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if...
...the speed reading is 0.0 or there is no speed reading
while cycling?
• Make sure the position and distance of the sensor to
the magnet are appropriate.
• Check that you have activated the speed function in
the receiving device. For further information, see
the user guidance material of the receiving device or
mobile application.
• If the 0.0 reading appears irregularly, this may be
due to temporary electromagnetic interference in
your current surroundings.
• If the 0.0 reading is constant, the battery may be
empty.
...there are irregular speed, distance or heart rate
readings?
• Disturbance may occur near microwave ovens and
computers. Also WLAN base stations may cause
interference when training with Polar Speed Sensor
Bluetooth®Smart. To avoid erratic reading or
misbehaviors, move away from possible sources of
disturbance.
How do I know...
... if the sensor is transmitting data to the receiving
device?
•When you begin cycling, a flashing red light
indicates that the sensor is alive and it is
transmitting speed signal. As you continue cycling,
the light goes off.
