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.

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.
Your Polar S510 has six main modes: Time of day, Exercise, File, Options,
Fitness test and Connection.
1. TIME OF DAY
You can use your Polar heart rate monitor as an ordinary watch with date,
weekday indicator and alarm function. You can also change between two
different countries’ time zones.
2. EXERCISE
In the Exercise mode, you measure your heart rate and exercise
information is recorded in the File mode. You can preset up to five
exercise sets for your personal needs. When you start exercising, just
select one of the saved sets. Or, you can select BasicUse (heart rate
measurement without heart rate limits, timers or other exercise
guiding functions).
