USER SET appears.
The degree of relaxation rate is highly individual, therefore compare the
value to your own baseline. To find out your personal baseline relaxation
rate, you need to measure your relaxation rate in a recovered state. Follow
the instructions below or refer to Polar Precision Performance software to
easily determine your relaxation rate baseline.
1. Before the measurement,
relax for 2-3 minutes.
2. Start measuring your heart rate
by pressing and holding the
OK button.
3. Press the up button until
relaxation rate value (Rlx) in
milliseconds is displayed
in the upper row.
Or, if INT is displayed in the
upper row press first the down
button once and then up
button until relaxation rate
value (Rlx) is displayed.
4. Write down your relaxation rate
each 15 seconds for 2 minutes.
5. Sum up the eight relaxation
values and divide them by eight
to obtain the average value. This
is your baseline relaxation rate.
