• Briefly pressing a button (approximately 1 second)
will do different things than pressing and holding
the button for a longer period of time
(approximately 2 to 5 seconds).
• The buttons are slightly stiffer than those of an
ordinary watch to prevent them from being
pressed accidentally.
• You can always return to the Time of day display
from the Options setting or File recalling loops by
pressing and holding the OK button.
• See the glossary for display symbols and text
interpretation.

HOW TO PREPARE THE WRIST RECEIVER
1. Since the display is blank when the receiver leaves the
factory, you have to activate the wrist receiver by
pressing the OK button twice, after which the Time of
day display appears. This is a one-off procedure; once you
have turned on your receiver you can not turn it off
anymore.
2. You may start measuring your heart rate right away
using the default settings. However, the following
settings are ones that it would be useful to change as
soon as possible: Time of day (see section Setting the
watch) and personal user settings (see section User
information settings).
3. Wear the wrist receiver as you would wear an ordinary
watch. If you need to shorten the wrist band we
recommend you visit a local watch shop. However, if you
wish to do it yourself keep the band sections the same so
that the buckle will stay in the middle. Detach the buckle
from the OK-button side band by pressing the spring, cut
the band, attach the buckle. If needed, detach the buckle
from the logo side band and cut the same length as you
cut from the other band, attach the buckle.

HOW TO PUT THE TRANSMITTER ON
1. Attach the transmitter to the
elastic strap.
2. Adjust the strap length to fit
snugly and comfortably. Secure
the strap around your chest,
below the chest muscles.
3. Lift the transmitter off your
chest and moisten the grooved
electrode areas on the back.
4. Check that the wet electrode
areas are firmly against your skin
and the Polar logo is in a central,
upright position.
HOW TO START MEASURING YOUR HEART RATE
1. Begin with the display that shows the time of day.
2. Keep the wrist receiver within 1 metre/ 3 feet of your
transmitter.
3. Check that you are not near other people that have
heart rate monitors, high voltage power lines, televisions,
mobile phones or other sources of electromagnetic
disturbance.
4. Press the OK button to start measuring your heart rate. A
heart symbol will start flashing and your heart rate (beats
per minute) will appear in a maximum of 15 seconds.
5. Press OK again. The stopwatch starts running and you
can start exercising. The exercise data will only be stored
in a file if you have turned the stopwatch on.
