WEAR THE HEART RATE SENSOR
When you use our heart rate sensors when training, you get the most out of Polar’s unique smart coaching fea-
tures. Heart rate data gives you an insight into your physical condition and how your body responds to training.
This will help you fine-tune your training plans and reach your peak performance.
Although there are many subjective clues as to how your body is doing during exercise (perceived exertion,
breathing rate, physical sensations), none is as reliable as measuring heart rate. It is objective and is affected
by both internal and external factors - meaning you will have a dependable measure of your physical state.
A heart rate monitor gives you a physiological window, through accurate heart rate measurement, into your
body's response to the moment-to-moment changes in your physical activity.
1. Moisten the electrode area of the strap.
2. Attach the connector to the strap.
3. Tie the strap around your chest, just below the
chest muscles, and attach the hook to the other end
of the strap. Adjust the strap length to fit tightly but
comfortably.
4.Check that the moist electrode areas are firmly
against your skin and that the Polar logo of the con-
nector is in a central and upright position.
INFO: Detach the connector from the strap, and
rinse the strap under running water after every train-
ing session. Sweat and moisture may keep the
heart rate sensor activated, so also remember to
wipe it dry.
