7. USING A NEW ACCESSORY
A new sensor purchased as a separate accessory has to be introduced to the cycling computer. This is
called teaching and takes only a few seconds. Teaching ensures that your cycling computer receives
signals from your sensor only, enabling disturbance-free exercise in a group. If you have purchased the
sensor and the cycling computer as a set, the sensor has already been “taught” to work together with the
cycling computer. You just need to activate the sensor in your cycling computer.
You can teach one speed, cadence and power sensor for each bike setting.
Teaching a New Speed Sensor
Select Settings > Bike SET > Bike1/ 2 / 3 > Speed SET > ON. Speed TEACH? is displayed
To teach a new sensor, make sure you are not near (40 m/131 ft) other speed sensors. To confirm
teaching, press OK. Test drive is displayed. To activate the sensor, press OK and rotate the wheel a few
times. A flashing red light indicates that the sensor is activated. Completed! is displayed once the teaching
process is over. The cycling computer is now ready to receive speed and distance data.
If Teaching FAILED is displayed, the cycling computer may be detecting the signal of more than one sensor
or the sensor is not activated. Make sure you are not near (40 m/131 ft) other speed sensors and press
OK. Try again? is displayed. Press OK and rotate the wheel a few times to activate the sensor.
If you want to cancel teaching, press STOP. The already taught speed sensor is taken into use.

Teaching a New Cadence Sensor*
Select Settings > Bike SET > Bike 1/ 2 / 3 > Cadence SET > ON. Cadence TEACH? is displayed
To teach a new sensor, make sure you are not near (40 m/131 ft) other cadence sensors. To confirm
teaching, press OK. Test drive is displayed. To activate the sensor, press OK and rotate the crank a few
times. A flashing red light indicates that the sensor is activated. Completed! is displayed once the teaching
process is over. The cycling computer is now ready to receive cadence data.
If Teaching FAILED is displayed, the cycling computer may be detecting the signal of more than one sensor
or the sensor is not activated. Make sure you are not near (40 m/131 ft) other cadence sensors and press
OK. Try again? is displayed. Press OK and rotate the crank a few times to activate the sensor.
If you want to cancel teaching, press STOP. The already taught cadence sensor is taken into use.

Teaching a New Power Output Sensor*
Select Settings > Bike SET > Bike 1/ 2 / 3 > Power SET > ON.
If you use the Polar LOOK Kéo Power system, follow the instructions below:
For the Polar LOOK Kéo Power system to work properly, the cycling computer must use the default power
settings. Even if you know the correct settings for your bike, do not use them.
C. length: Set chain length as 1473 mm. Accept the set value with OK.
C. weight: Set chain weight as 304 g. Accept the set value with OK.
S. length: Set span length as 420 mm. Accept the set value with OK.
If you use the Polar Power Output Sensor™ W.I.N.D., follow the instructions below:
C. length: Set chain length in millimeters. Accept the set value with OK.
C. weight: Set chain weight in grams. Accept the set value with OK.
S. length: Set span length in millimeters. Measure the distance from the centre of the rear hub to the
centre of the bottom bracket as shown in the picture. Accept the set value with OK.
