TRAINING
WEAR HEART RATE SENSOR
Wear the comfortable heart rate sensor with your A300 and get more out of your daily sports. You can see
your heart rate accurately and in real time in your A300. See the main effect of your training, and focus on what
you want to achieve - burning fat or improving fitness. Or get heart rate zone based guidance for training ses-
sions you've planned in the Flow web service. The heart rate sensor detects your heart rate also when swim-
ming.
Although there are many subjective clues as to how your body is doing during exercise (perceived exertion,
breathing rate, physical sensations), none of them are as reliable as measuring heart rate. It is objective and is
affected by both internal and external factors - meaning you will have a dependable measure of your physical
state.
1. Moisten the electrode area
of the strap.
2. Tie the strap around your
chest, just below the chest
muscles, and attach the
hook to the other end of the
strap. Adjust the strap
length to fit tightly but com-
fortably.
3. Attach the connector to the
strap.
4. Check that the moist elec-
trode area is firmly against
your skin and that the Polar
logo of the connector is in a
central and upright position.
Detach the connector from the strap, and rinse the strap under running water after every training session.
Sweat and moisture may keep the heart rate sensor activated, so also remember to wipe it dry. For more
