TRAINING WITH YOUR V800
When you use our heart rate sensors when training, you get the most
out of Polar’s unique smart coaching features. Heart rate data gives you
an insight into your physical condition and how your body responds to
training. This will help you ne-tune your training plans and reach your
peak performance.
1. Moisten the electrode area of
the strap.
2. Attach the connector to the
strap.
3. Tie the strap around your
chest, just below the chest
muscles, and adjust the strap
to t tightly but comfortably.
Detach the connector from the
strap, and rinse the strap under
running water after every training
session. Sweat and moisture
may keep the heart rate sensor
activated, so also remember to
wipe it dry.
If you bought your V800 without a heart rate sensor, not to worry, you canalways
buy one later.
