To ensure trouble-free heart rate monitoring, start your heart rate monitoring in a place with the fewest possible
electromagnetic disturbances (computers, mobile phones, other people using heart rate monitors, high voltage
power lines, cars, motor driven exercise equipment, etc.) before going out. After the chest strap has been securely
attached it will create a unique coded communication link with your ActiTrainer. This unique link will prevent heart
data generated by adjacent Polar chest straps from corrupting your data.
When you put your transmitter on, it starts to detect your heart rate, which is then transmitted to the ActiTrainer. If
you have selected any of the BPM options in the selections menu, your heart rate will appear within a maximum of
15 seconds
Note: If the unit does not display your heart rate, check that the transmitter electrodes are wet and that the strap is snug enough.
Menu Navigation
Turning Off the Display
The display can be turned completely off to preserve battery life or while sleeping to allow for complete darkness.
Navigate the menu structure to the Lifestyle submenu. Highlight "Display ON" and press the "Select" button. The
menu item will toggle to "Display OFF". After a 10 second delay, the display will return to a default mode then
shut completely off. Repeat this process to turn the display back on.
*IMPORTANT*
Although the LifeStyle mode is turned off, the unit will continue to collect LifeStyle data. The data shown is cumulative since the
Trainer's data was last reset manually.
Resetting Lifestyle Data
The data displayed on the screen while in Lifestyle mode can be reset at any time. This does not clear out the data
log and all data prior to the reset can still be uploaded and viewed in the online Virtual Trainer. To reset the
parameters on the display, select "<Reset>" from the Lifestyle menu and confirm that this action is correct. All
parameters will be reset to zero.
Selecting Data to Display
As mentioned previously, the ActiTrainer can display up to 9 vital data parameters at any given time. In Lifestyle
mode, these are displayed in pairs; in Workout mode, they are displayed one at a time using large font for easy
reading. Items can be added or removed from the list in either mode by selecting the "<Selections>" menu
associated with that mode. Use the Scroll button to highlight a parameter and press the Select button to toggle the
parameter on or off as shown below in Figure 14. An "x" indicates that the item will be included on the display.
