ENGLISH
Polar Cadence Sensor Bluetooth®Smart is
designed to measure cadence, i.e. crank
revolutions per minute, when cycling.
Polar Cadence Sensor Bluetooth®Smart is
compatible with Bluetooth®Smart Ready
devices that support Bluetooth®Cycling Speed
and Cadence Service. When using a
smartphone, a separate application is required
to view cadence sensor data. It is recommended
to use the Polar Beat application but it is also
possible to use other applications.

If you have a polarpersonaltrainer.com account,
Polar Beat automatically synchronizes your
training files to it. Please note that you must
sign in to your polarpersonaltrainer.com account
when starting Polar Beat for the autosync to
work.

downloaded at www.polar.com/support.
Please follow the pictures on the inner covers.
Write the device ID printed on your cadence
sensor in the space on the inner front cover
(picture 1). The original marking may fade as
a result of normal wear and tear.

Installing the Cadence Sensor
For a video tutorial, see Installing Polar
Cadence Sensor Bluetooth®Smart at
www.polar.com/en/polar_community/videos.
To install the cadence sensor and cadence
magnet, you need cutters.
1. Check the chain stay for a suitable place
for the cadence sensor (picture 2). Do not
install the sensor on the same side as the
chain. The Polar logo on the sensor should
be facing away from the crank (picture 4).
2. Attach the rubber part to the sensor
(picture 3).
3. Clean and dry a suitable place for the
sensor and place the sensor on the chain
stay (picture 4 A). If the sensor touches the
rotating crank, turn the sensor slightly
upwards. Pass the cable ties over the
sensor and rubber part. Do not tighten them
fully yet.
4. Place the cadence magnet vertically on the
inner side of the crank (picture 4 B). Before
attaching the magnet, clean and dry the
area thoroughly. Attach the magnet to the
crank and secure with the tape.

5. Fine-tune the positioning of the sensor so
that the magnet passes close to the sensor
without actually touching it (picture 5).
Move the sensor towards the magnet so that
the gap between the sensor and the magnet
is under 4 mm/0.16’’. The gap is correct
when you can fit a cable tie between the
magnet and the sensor. There is a small
caved dot at the backside of the sensor,
which indicates the spot the magnet should
be pointing at when passing the sensor.
6. Rotate the crank to test the cadence
sensor. The flashing red light on the sensor
indicates that the magnet and the sensor
are positioned correctly. If you keep
rotating the crank, the light will go off.
Tighten the cable ties securely and cut off
any excess cable tie ends.
Cadence Sensor Pairing
Your new cadence sensor must be paired with
the receiving device in order to receive cadence
data. This enables training in a group without
interference from other sensors. For more
information, see the user guidance material of
the receiving device or mobile application.

Care and Maintenance
Keep the cadence sensor clean. Clean it with a mild
soap and water solution, and rinse off with clean water.
Dry it carefully with a soft towel. Never use alcohol or
any abrasive material, such as steel wool or cleaning
chemicals. Do not immerse the cadence sensor in
water.
Your safety is important to us. Check that you can turn
your handlebars normally, and that the cable wires for
brakes or gears do not catch the sensor. Make sure the
sensor does not disturb pedaling or using the brakes or
gears. While riding your bike, keep your eyes on the
road to prevent possible accidents and injury. Avoid
hard hits as these may damage the sensor.
Replacement magnet sets can be purchased separately.
Cadence sensor battery
The battery cannot be replaced. The sensor is sealed in
order to maximize mechanical longevity and reliability.
To purchase a new sensor, contact your authorized
Polar Service Center or retailer.
The battery level of your sensor is displayed on the
receiving device if it supports Bluetooth®Battery
Service.
To increase battery life, Polar Cadence Sensor
Bluetooth®Smart goes into power saving mode in ten
minutes if the magnet is not passing the sensor.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if...
...the cadence reading is 0 or there is no cadence
reading while cycling?
• Make sure the position and distance of the cadence
sensor to the crank magnet are appropriate.
• Check that you have activated the cadence function
in the receiving device. For further information, see
the user guidance material of the receiving device or
mobile application.
• If the 0 reading appears irregularly, this may be due
to temporary electromagnetic interference in your
current surroundings.
• If the 0 reading is constant, the battery may be
empty.
...there are irregular cadence or heart rate readings?
• Disturbance may occur near microwave ovens and
computers. Also WLAN base stations may cause
interference when training with Polar Cadence
Sensor Bluetooth®Smart. To avoid erratic reading
or misbehaviors, move away from possible sources
of disturbance.
How do I know...
... if the sensor is transmitting data to the receiving
device?
•When you begin cycling, a flashing red light
indicates that the sensor is alive and it is
transmitting cadence signal. As you continue
cycling, the light goes off.
