Calibration complete and the factor are displayed. The sensor is now calibrated and ready for action.
Set Calibration Factor Manually
The calibration factor is calculated as a ratio of the actual distance to the uncalibrated distance.
Example: you run 1200m, the training computer shows a distance of 1180m, the calibration factor is
1.000. Calculate the new calibration factor as follows: 1.000*1200/1180 = 1.017. The measuring
range for the factor is 0.500-1.500.
There are four options for setting the calibration factor:
1. Before exercise.
Select Settings > Features > Shoes/bikes > Shoe 1/2/3 > Calibrate.
Set the Calibration factor and press OK. The sensor is now calibrated.
2. After starting heart rate measurement and before exercise recording.
In time mode, select OK > Settings > Shoes/bikes > Shoes 1/2/3 > Calibrate.
Set the Calibration factor and press OK. The sensor is now calibrated, and you can start exercise
recording by pressing OK.
3. During exercise by pausing exercise recording.
Start exercising by pressing OK twice in the time display. Press STOP once and the exercise recording
is paused.
Select Settings > Calibrate > Set factor.
Set the Calibration factor and press OK. The sensor is now calibrated. Continue exercise recording by
pressing OK.
4. During exercise without pausing exercise recording.
Start exercising by pressing OK twice in the time display. Press and hold LIGHT to get to Settings.
Select Calibrate > Set factor.
Set the Calibration factor and press OK. The sensor is now calibrated. Continue running.
If message S sensor calibration failed is displayed the sensor has not been calibrated and you need to try
again.

5. TRAINING
Wear the Transmitter
Wear the transmitter to measure heart rate.
Before starting training recording, you need to wear the WearLink.
1. Wet the electrode areas of the strap well under running water.
We recommend using contact gel (ECG gel) to optimize contact between your skin and the transmitter,
especially during long-lasting events.
2. Attach the connector to the strap. Adjust the strap length to fit tightly but comfortably.
3. Tie the strap around your chest, just below the chest muscles, and attach the hook to the other
end of the strap.
4. Check that the wet electrode areas are firmly against your skin and that the Polar logo of the
connector is in a central and upright position.
