3. EXERCISING
To measure your heart rate, you need to wear the transmitter.
The wrist unit records the exercise information (date, duration,
time spent in target heart rate zone, average heart rate,
maximum heart rate and expended calories) during your
exercise session.
Note: The default settings of the target heart rate limits are calculated
according to your Basic Settings. You can learn more about target heart
rate zones in the section Target Heart Rate Zone on page 46. This
information will help you to exercise at the right level. For further
information on how to set the target heart rate limits, see the section
How to Change Settings on page 43.
3.1 HOW TO PUT YOUR TRANSMITTER ON AND
START RECORDING YOUR EXERCISE DATA
Keep the wrist unit within 3 feet/1 meter of your transmitter.
Check that you are not near other people wearing heart rate
monitors or any source of electromagnetic disturbance.
For
further information on interference, see the section Precautions
on page 49.
1. Attach one end of the transmitter
to the elastic strap.
2. Adjust the transmitter’s strap
length to fit snugly and comfortably.
Secure the strap around your chest,
just below the chest muscles, and
buckle the strap to the transmitter.
3. Lift the transmitter 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 Polar logo is in a central,
upright position.
4. Wear the wrist unit as a watch and
press OK to start recording your
exercise data. Your heart rate and
the heart symbol
appear in a
few seconds.
