You can also set the elevation for the Automatic Calibration also by using the Polar ProTrainer 5 software.
For more information see software help.
Select this option if you train in the same environment. This way, altitude values are always correct.
If the sport profile of the exercise includes automatic calibration, altitude measurement always begins at this
elevation regardless of the general elevation settings.
Recording Rate
The cycling computer records the training data in 5 second intervals by default. You can set a new
recording rate in Settings > Features > Rec.rate > 1 / 2 / 5 / 15 / 60 sec.
The cycling computer can store your heart rate, speed, cadence, power and altitude in 1, 2, 5, 15 or 60
second intervals. A longer interval gives you more recording time, while a shorter interval allows you to
record more heart and other data. This enables accurate data analysis using the Polar ProTrainer 5
software.
A shorter recording rate consumes the memory of the cycling computer more rapidly. The remaining
recording time is displayed on the lower row when setting the rate. Default recording rate is 5 seconds.
When less than 30 minutes of maximum recording time is left, the recording rate changes automatically to
longer recording time (1s > 2s > 5s > 15s > 60s). This will maximize recoding time to record exercise
data. When the session ends, the current recording rate will be used in the next training session.
The following table shows the maximum recording times for each recording rate. The maximum recording
time can be shorter, if you record a large number of short exercises.
Recording rate will change when less than 30 minutes of recording time is left. Memory low is displayed 60
minutes before the memory runs out.
