How to prepare the wrist receiver
1. Since the display is blank when the receiver leaves the
factory, you have to activate the wrist receiver by pressing
the OK button twice, after which the Time of day display
appears. This is a one-off procedure; once you have turned
on your receiver you can not turn it off anymore.
2. You may start measuring your heart rate right away
using the default settings. However, the following
settings are ones that it would be useful to change as
soon as possible: Time of day (see section Watch settings)
and personal user settings (see section User information
settings).
3. Polar S810 has various functions that you can use
according to your personal training needs. For more
information, see section Modes and their functions. You
can either manually enter the settings by pressing the
receiver buttons or you can define your settings using
Polar Precision Performance software, after which the
data should be transferred from your computer to the
wrist receiver.
4. Wear the wrist receiver as you would wear an ordinary
watch. If you go biking, we recommend attaching the
wrist receiver to a Polar Bike Mount™.
How to put the transmitter on
1. Attach the transmitter to the elastic strap.
2. Adjust the strap length to fit snugly and
comfortably. Secure the strap around your
chest, just below the chest muscles, and
buckle it.
3. Lift the transmitter off your chest and
moisten the grooved electrode areas
on the back.
4. Check that the wet electrode areas are firmly
against your skin and the Polar logo is in a
central, upright position.
How to start measuring your heart rate
1. Begin with the display that shows
the time of day.
2. Keep the wrist receiver within
1 metre/ 3 feet of your transmitter.
3. Check that you are not near other people
that have heart rate monitors, high voltage
power lines, televisions, mobile phones or
other sources of electromagnetic disturbance.
