Uploading settings:
1. Click on the E30 software icon on your desktop.
2.
Set the target zone limits and choose to have the
audible alarm either on or off.
Additional Tips for Working with Children:
1. In small children or children with concave
chests, etc., you might find you get a better
heart rate reading if you put the transmitter
across their backs, with the Polar logo upside
down.
2. Have your students put the transmitter on
and adjust the straps, over their t-shirts.
Then they can slide the straps down and
wiggle them up under their shirts.
3. It may be possible to wear the transmitter
over a T-shirt as long as the area under the
electrodes is thoroughly wetted. If the
E30 does not pick up heart rate, the transmitter
will have to be worn directly against the skin.
3.
From the OFF mode on the E30 HRM, press and hold
the button so the file recall starts and the average
heart rate is displayed.
4.
Hold the E30 less than 7"/18cm from the speaker.
5.
Click the Set HRM button on your computer and hold
the E30 steady. You will hear a series of chirps. If
uploading is successful, the E30 will read Set and OK.
6.
Press and hold the button on the E30 to return to the
OFF mode.
Note: If you are unsuccessful (the HRM does not show
Set and OK), turn the HRM sideways to speaker with
the watch face up, so that the 'P' in 'Polar' is closest to
the speaker, and try again. You can also try adjusting
the volume up or down and varying the distance of
the HRM to the speaker. Louder and closer is not always
better.
Advanced:
If you change the target zone regularly, click the
Advanced button. You can name the zone and save
it for later use.
