HOW TO DETERMINE YOUR TARGET HEART RATE ZONE
Your target heart rate zone is a range between the lower and upper heart rate limits expressed as a percentage of your current maximum heart rate (HRmax). (See User information settings about determining your HRmax.) Heart rate between 50% and 60% of your HRmax: Light intensity zone. This zone is good for warm-up and recovery. Heart rate between 60% and 70% of your HRmax: Light to moderate intensity zone. This zone is good for losing and controlling weight. Staying in this target zone accustoms the body to exercise. If you are aiming for competition, you will start building your endurance base in this zone. Heart rate between 70% and 85% of your HRmax: Moderate to heavy intensity zone. Especially effective for improving aerobic fitness. Heart rate between 85% and 100% of your HRmax: Heavy to maximal intensity zone. Training occasionally in this zone increases your maximum performance capacity. It increases muscles tolerance to lactic acid (shifts up anaerobic treshold) and improves sprinting and hard, short-effort ability.

ADDITIONAL FEATURE:

CONNECTION TO COMPUTER
Your Polar S120/S150 offers you the option of downloading one exercise set and monitor icons via Polar UpLink from our web site: USA and Canada: www.polarusa.com other countries: www.polar.fi To be able to use the UpLink, you need a PC with a sound card (compatible with SoundBlaster) and dynamic loudspeakers or earphones. See further instructions at our web site. You can see the monitor icon by pressing and holding Up button in the Time of Day display. The default logo is the model name.

3. Put the transmitter back on the chest and keep the wrist receiver in this interference-free area as far as it is possible. 4. If the Polar heart rate monitor still does not work with the exercise equipment, this piece of equipment may be electrically too noisy for wireless heart rate measurement. Minimizing Possible Risks in Exercising with a Heart Rate Monitor Exercise may include some risk, especially for those who have been sedentary. Before starting a regular exercise program you are recommended to answer to the following questions for health status checking. If the answer is yes to any of the questions, we recommend to consult a doctor before starting an exercise program. 1. Have you not exercised for the past 5 years? 2. Do you have high blood pressure? 3. Do you have high blood cholesterol? 4. Do you have symptoms of any disease? 5. Are you taking any blood pressure or heart medication? 6. Do you have a history of breathing problems? 7. Are you recovering from a serious illness or medical treatment? 8. Do you use a pacemaker or another implanted electronic device? 9. Do you smoke? 10. Are you pregnant? In addition to exercise intensity, medications for heart, blood pressure, psyche, asthma, breathing, etc. as well as some energy drinks, alcohol and nicotine, can affect heart rate. It is important to be sensitive to your bodys reactions during the exercise. If you feel unexpected pain or excessive fatigue when exercising, it is recommended to stop the exercise or continue at a lighter intensity. Notice to persons with pacemakers, defibrillator or other implanted electronic device. Persons who have a pacemaker use the Polar Heart Rate Monitor at their own risk. Before starting use, we always recommend an exercise test under doctors supervision. The test is to ensure the safety and reliability of the simultaneous use of the pacemaker and the heart rate monitor. If you are allergic to any substance that comes into contact with the skin or if you suspect an allergic reaction due to using the product, check the listed materials in the "Technical Specifications" chapter. To avoid any skin reaction risk with the transmitter, wear it over a shirt. However, moisten the shirt well under the electrodes to ensure flawless operation. The combined impact of moisture and intense abrasion may cause a black color, which might stain light-colored clothes especially, to come off the transmitter's surface.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
.I dont know where I am in the Options or File cycle? Press and hold the stop button until time of day is displayed.I cannot find the previous exercises file? You may have used the Heart rate measuring mode during your exercise, which means that your exercise was not stored. To record the exercise you have to turn the stopwatch on by pressing the OK button in the Measure mode.there is no heart rate reading (- -)? 1. Bring the wrist receiver up to your chest near the transmitters Polar logo. The receiver starts looking for the heart rate signal again. 2. Check that the electrodes of the transmitter are moistened and that you are wearing it as instructed. 3. Check that you have kept the transmitter clean. 4. 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. 5. Have you had a cardiac event which may have altered your EKG waveform? In this case consult your physician.heart symbol flashes irregularly? 1. Check that the wrist receiver is not further than 3 feet/ 1 meter from the transmitter. 2. Check that the elastic strap has not become loose during exercise. 3. Make sure that the electrodes of the transmitter are moistened. 4. Make sure that there is no other heart rate transmitter within 3 feet/ 1 meter. 5. Cardiac arrhythmia may cause irregular readings. In this case consult your physician.
.heart rate reading becomes erratic or extremely high? You may have come within range of strong electromagnetic signals which cause erratic readings. Check your surroundings and move further away from the source of disturbance.the display is blank or fading? If the display is blank, activate the wrist receiver by pressing the OK button twice, after which the Time of Day display appears. If the display is fading, have the batteries checked.there are no reactions to any buttons? Reset the Polar heart rate monitor. Resetting clears watch settings which will return to the default settings. 1. Press the RESET button with a pen tip. Display becomes full of digits. If you dont press any button after reset within one minute the wrist receiver returns to the Time of Day display. 2. Press any of the buttons once. Time of day is displayed.the battery of the wrist receiver must be replaced? We recommend having all service done by an authorized Polar Service Center. The guarantee does not cover damage or consequential damage caused by service not authorised by Polar Electro. Polar Service will test your wrist receiver for water resistance after battery replacement and make a full periodic check of the complete Polar heart rate monitor.the speed reading is 00 or there is no speed reading on the display while cycling? 1. Check the correct position and distance of the speed sensor with the spoke magnet. 2. Check that you have set bike functions on.the S150 wrist receiver displays speed and distance readings when I am using it in my wrist? Turn the speed measurement off. This prevents the receiver from recording incorrect speed signals which may occur due to moisture in your skin.
