POLAR STRIDE SENSOR Model:Y8 User Manual
ENGLISH Congratulations! Polar Stride Sensor Bluetooth® Smart is the best choice for improving your running technique and efficiency. Using sensitive inertial sensors, it gives accurate and highly responsive speed, distance, leg cadence and stride length measurements. Polar Stride Sensor Bluetooth® Smart is compatible with Bluetooth® Smart Ready devices that support Bluetooth® Running Speed and Cadence Service. When using a smartphone, a separate application is required to view stride sensor data.
If you have a polarpersonaltrainer.com account, Polar Beat automatically synchronizes your training files to it. Please note that you must sign in to your polarpersonaltrainer.com account when starting Polar Beat for the autosync to work.

Please follow the pictures on the front and back covers.
Install Stride Sensor Battery Before using your stride sensor for the first time, insert the battery (included in the product package). 1. 2. 3. 4. Open the battery cover by turning it counterclockwise to OPEN using a coin (picture A1). Place the battery inside the cover with the positive (+) side facing the cover (picture A2). Make sure the sealing ring is in the groove to ensure water resistance. Place the cover with the battery inside it into the sensor.
Pair a New Stride Sensor with Your Receiving Device Polar Stride Sensor Bluetooth® Smart must be paired with the receiving device in order to analyze your running technique and efficiency. For more information, see the user guidance material of the receiving device or mobile application. Attach the Stride Sensor on Shoelaces 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 4 Undo your shoelaces and place the holder on top of the tongue of the shoe. Make sure the holder flap is facing upwards.
Calibrate the Stride Sensor Calibration of the stride sensor improves the accuracy of speed, pace, distance and stride length measurements. It is recommended that you calibrate the stride sensor before using it for the first time, if there are significant changes in your running style, or if the position of the stride sensor on the shoe is dramatically changed (e.g. if you have new shoes or if you switch the sensor from your right shoe to your left one).
Changing batteries: To change the batteries of the stride sensor yourself, follow the given instructions. To ensure the maximum lifespan of the battery cover, open it only when changing the battery. When changing the battery, make sure the sealing ring is not damaged, in which case you should replace it with a new one. You can purchase the sealing ring/battery kits at well-equipped Polar retailers and authorized Polar Services.
Care and Maintenance Your safety is important to us. The shape of the stride sensor is designed to minimize the possibility of getting caught in something. In any case, be careful when running with the stride sensor in brushwood, for example. The stride sensor is water resistant and can be safely worn in the rain. Do not immerse the stride sensor in water as it is not intended for underwater activities. Do not expose to direct sunlight for extended periods. Keep your stride sensor in a cool and dry place.
