Recording Rate
Select Settings > Features > Rec.rate > 1 / 5 / 15 / 60 sec
The cycling computer can store your heart rate, speed, cadence, power and altitude in 1, 5, 15 or 60
second intervals. A longer interval gives you more recording time, while a shorter interval allows you to
record more heart and other data. This enables accurate data analysis using the Polar ProTrainer 5
software.
A shorter recording rate consumes the memory of the cycling computer more rapidly. The remaining
recording time is displayed on the lower row when setting the rate. Default recording rate is 5 seconds.
When less than 30 minutes of maximum recording time is left, the recording rate changes automatically to
longer recording time (1s > 5s > 15s > 60s). This will maximize recording time to record exercise data.
When the session ends, the current recording rate will be used in the next training session.
The following table shows the maximum recording times for each recording rate. The maximum recording
time can be shorter, if you record a large number of short exercises.
Recording rate will change when less than 30 minutes of recording time is left. Memory low is displayed 60
minutes before the memory runs out.
