power data to calculate Muscle Load, so you will also get a Muscle Load value for your running or cycling sessions when
using a separate running or cycling power sensor.
Running Power
Running Power is a great tool to measure the external load of your running. It reacts faster than heart rate so it’s ideal for
measuring your load for uphill running and interval sessions. You can also use it to maintain a steady effort level during
your run even in varying terrain. Running Power complements heart rate measurement: when you measure both you
can detect changes in your running performance. If after weeks of training you can produce the same power with lower
heart rate, your running performance has improved.

Cycling Power
Measuring your cycling power helps you to monitor and develop your cycling performance and pedaling technique.
Unlike heart rate, power output is an absolute and objective value of effort. This means that you can also compare your
power values with your fellow cyclists who are of the same sex and about the same size as you are; or compare watts per
kilogram for the most reliable results. Seeing how your heart rate corresponds to the power zones also gives more
insight.
PAIRING SENSORS WITH YOUR WATCH
PAIR A HEART RATE SENSOR WITH YOUR WATCH
When you're wearing a Polar heart rate sensor that's paired with your watch, the watch does not measure
heart rate from the wrist.
1. Wear the moistened heart rate sensor.
2. On your watch, go to
General Settings > Pair and sync > Pair sensor or
other device
and press OK.
3. The watch starts searching for your sensor.
4. Once the heart rate sensor is found, the device ID, for example,
Polar
H10 xxxxxxxx
is displayed. Press OK to start pairing.
5.
Pairing completed
is displayed when you are done.
PAIR A STRIDE SENSOR WITH YOUR WATCH
1. On your watch, go to
General Settings > Pair and sync > Pair sensor or
other device
and press OK.
2. The watch starts searching for your sensor.
3. Once the sensor is found, the device ID is displayed. Press OK to start
pairing.
4.
Pairing completed
is displayed when you are done.
Calibrate stride sensor
There are two ways to manually calibrate your stride sensor via the quick menu. Choose one of the running sport profiles
and then choose
Calibrate stride sensor
>
Calibrate by running
or
Calibration factor
from the quick menu.
l
Calibrate by running
: Start the training session and run a distance you know. The distance has to be more than
400 meters. When you have ran the distance, press OK to take a lap. Set the actual distance you have ran and
press OK. The calibration factor is updated.
