Wear the Heart Rate Sensor
1. Fasten one end of the heart rate sensor to the elastic
strap.
2. Adjust the strap length to fit snugly and comfortably.
Secure the strap around your chest, just below the
chest muscles, and fasten the strap to the heart rate
sensor.
3. Lift the heart rate sensor off your chest and moisten
the two grooved electrode areas on the back. Check
that the wet electrode areas are firmly against your
skin, and that the text on the heart rate sensor is in
an upright position and in the centre of your chest.

sensor see Caring for Your Product (page 13)
Start Training
Before you start training, wear the heart rate sensor and the training computer. There should be no other
training computers within a one-meter/three-feet radius from you to avoid interference.
1. Start recording your training session by pressing the
button once.
EXE (Exercise) is displayed.
2. The stopwatch starts running in a few seconds. The
outline of the heart symbol flashes until your heart rate is
detected (this should not take more than 15 seconds).
3. Your heart rate is displayed. A flashing heart symbol
indicates an ongoing heart rate measurement. The
symbol flashes at the pace of your heart.
Switch the target heart rate zone alarm ON or OFF in Exercise mode by pressing and holding the button. The alarm
sounds if you are not inside your target heart rate zone.
During Training
HeartTouch
Change the display information (Heart rate / Duration / Time) during
the training session by bringing the training computer close to the
heart rate sensor's Polar logo. Keep the training computer close to
the heart rate sensor until you hear a beep and the desired
information is displayed.
A beep will sound even if the alarm has been deactivated.
