Dear customer,
Congratulations on your purchase of a new Polar RS100 Running Computer!
Your running computer helps you achieve your exercise goals. It provides feedback on your body's response to exercise.
The following tasks can be performed with the running computer:
Planning
• Base your training and various exercise sessions on
heart rate.
Setting pace and controlling intensity
• Your heart rate is an accurate measure of exercise
intensity - it tells you how hard you are working. Use
heart rate to set a pace that you are able to maintain.
Keeping safe
• Monitor your heart rate during exercise to keep yourself
from pushing too hard or overtraining.
Checking progress
• Your heart rate allows you to objectively measure
improvements in your fi tness level. For a particular
speed and time/distance, your heart rate should
decrease with improvements in your fi tness.
6
Adapting to environment
• Your heart rate responds to internal and
external factors acting on your body (for
example, stress, lack of sleep, altitude
and temperature). Using your running
computer will help ensure a quality
workout in varying conditions.
Read this manual carefully to familiarize
yourself with your running computer. This
manual also contains a section about
maintenance.
Have success and fun using your running
computer!
