2. EXERCISING

2.1 MEASURING YOUR HEART RATE

To measure your heart rate, you need to wear the transmitter.

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 letter Lon the connector next to the word

LEFT on the strap and snap the fastener. Adjust the strap length to ﬁt snugly and

comfortably. Secure the strap around your chest, just below your chest muscles, and snap

the second fastener.

3. 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.

4. Wear your running computer like you would wear a watch. In the Time mode, press the Red

button. The running computer will automatically start searching for your heart rate.

The heart rate and the framed heart symbol appear in a maximum of 15 seconds. If you have

set the Help function on, the message HeartRate signal found is displayed. Your heart rate

is measured but not recorded until you have started the exercise. To record your heart rate

and other exercise data, see the chapter Exercise Recording on page 13.

10 ENG

Coded Heart Rate Transmission

Coded heart rate transmission reduces interference from other heart rate monitors that are

close by. To make sure that the code search is successful and to ensure trouble-free heart rate

monitoring, keep the wrist unit within 1 meter/3 feet of your transmitter. Check that you are not

near other people with heart rate monitors or any source of electromagnetic disturbance

(for further information on interference, see Precautions on page 75).

A frame around the heart rate symbol indicates a coded heart rate transmission.

A heart rate symbol without a frame indicates a non-coded heart rate transmission.

The heart rate measurement functions also in non-coded mode, especially if there aren’t any

sources of interference nearby.

To detach the connector from the strap, apply pressure with your thumb and foreﬁnger and turn

your hand as indicated in the picture.

Note: If the wrist unit does not display your heart rate, or it displays Check WearLink!, make sure that the

transmitter electrodes are moist and that the strap is snug enough. Bring the wrist unit near the Polar logo on

the transmitter to restart heart rate detection.
