Wearing the Watch

For accurate heart rate readings during training, wear the watch correctly:

• Wear the watch on the top of your wrist, at least a finger's width from your wrist bone.
• Tighten the strap firmly around your wrist. The sensor on the back must constantly touch your skin, and the watch should not move on your arm.
• Occasionally loosen the strap for comfort and to let your skin breathe.

The watch is also compatible with Polar heart rate sensors (sold separately). See support.polar.com/en for a list of compatible sensors and accessories.

Training

1. Put on the watch and tighten the strap.
2. Press the BACK button to enter the main menu, select Start training, and then find the relevant sport profile.
3. Go outdoors and stand away from tall buildings and trees. Hold the watch still with the display facing up to catch GPS satellite signals. The circle around the GPS icon will turn green when GPS is ready.
4. When your heart rate is displayed, the watch has detected it.
5. Once all signals are found, press the OK button to start recording your training session.

Watch Care

Keep your watch clean by rinsing it under running water after each training session. Ensure there is no moisture, dust, or dirt on the charging contacts of the watch or cable before charging. Gently wipe away any dirt or moisture. Do not charge the watch when wet.
