4.3.1 SETTING THE MEMORY RATE

The available recording time of the wrist unit depends on the selected memory rate (5, 15 or
60 seconds or 5 minutes). The free memory allows a maximum of 660 h or 100 Action Files to be
recorded depending on the memory rate. The smaller the memory rate, the sooner the memory
becomes full. If the total memory is full, you can continue your activity, but the action is no
longer recorded in an Action File.
Use the 5 minute memory rate when you record information without wearing your transmitter.
For example, when you hike in terrain with slower changes in altitude. When the altitude
changes more quickly or you are climbing at high altitudes, it is useful to monitor and record
your heart rate to know how your body is reacting to the altitude and/or the rate at which you are
ascending or descending. In this case, use a smaller memory rate to get more accurate data.
By selecting a shorter memory rate, you will also get more accurate information with the Polar
Precision Performance software.
