10. NEW ACCESSORY
Pairing a New Sensor with the Training Computer
Before taking a new sensor into use, it has to be introduced to the training computer. This is called
pairing and only takes a few seconds. Pairing ensures that your training computer receives signals from
your sensor only, and enables disturbance-free training in a group.
Before entering an event or race, make sure that you do the pairing at home. This is to prevent
interference due to the long-range data transmission. When pairing new sensor make sure you are not near
(40 m/131 ft) other similar sensors.
Pairing a New Heart Rate Sensor with the Training Computer
If you have not paired your training computer with a heart rate sensor before, pairing is performed
automatically when you start a training session. Wear the training computer and the heart rate sensor and
start by pressing START. Searching for new heart rate sensor is displayed. The training computer
searches for a heart rate sensor signal. Heart rate sensor found is displayed when the the training
computer finds the signal.
Wear the heart rate sensor and make sure that you are not near (40 m/131 ft) other heart rate sensors.
1. Go to Menu > Settings > Sport profiles > Sport > Heart rate sensor > Search new and press START.
2. The training computer starts searching for the sensor signal, Searching for new heart rate sensor is
displayed.
3. Once the new sensor is identified, Heart rate sensor found is displayed. Pairing is completed.
4. If the search is not successful, Heart rate sensor not found or Other heart rate sensors interfering.
Move further., Try again? YES / NO is displayed.
5. Select YES to start the search again.
6. Select NO to cancel the searching.
7. To return to time mode, press and hold the BACK button.
Only one heart rate sensor can be paired with your training computer at a time. However, the training
computer remembers the last three pairings. If the most recently paired heart rate sensor is not available,
but the previous is, the training computer receives the heart rate signal from the previous sensor.
Pairing a New Speed Sensor with the Training Computer
Make sure the speed sensor has been correctly installed. For more information on installing the speed
sensor refer to the user manual of the speed sensor or for video tutorial at
http://www.polar.com/en/polar_community/videos [http://www.polar.com/en/support/video_tutorials].
You can have two bikes on the training computer. Each bike has to have the sensors separately taught.
You can only teach one speed sensor to one bike. If you have two bikes, both of them can use the same
speed sensor. Or, they can have their own set of sensors. When you pair a new sensor to a bike that
already has a previously taught sensor in the memory, the new sensor replaces the previous one.
1. Go to MENU > Settings > Sport profiles > Cycling (Bike 1)/Cycling (Bike 2) > Bike 1 settings/Bike 2
settings > Speed sensor > Search new and press START.
2. Press OK (START) to start test drive is displayed.
3. Press START and Searching for new speed sensor is displayed. The training computer starts searching
for the speed sensor signal. Rotate the wheel a few times to activate the sensor. The flashing red light on
the sensor indicates that the sensor is activated.
4. Once the new speed sensor is identified, Speed sensor found is displayed. Pairing is complete.
5. If the search is not successful, Speed sensor not found or Other speed sensors interfering. Move
further., Try again? YES / NO is displayed.
6. Select YES to start the search again.
7. Select NO to cancel the searching.
