Installing the Polar Bike Mount and Cycling
Computer
You can install the bike mount and the cycling
computer on the left or right side of the
handlebar or on the stem.
1.
Place the rubber part on the handlebar or
stem and insert the bike mount on top of it
(picture 2).
2.
Pass the cable ties over the bike mount and
adjust them around the handlebar/stem.
Secure the bike mount firmly. Cut off any
excess cable tie ends (picture 2).
Position the cycling computer on to the
bike mount. Turn the cycling computer
clockwise until you hear a click. You can
release the cycling computer by pressing it
down and simultaneously turning it counter
clockwise.

Installing the Polar Speed Sensor
To install the speed sensor and spoke magnet,
you will need cutters and a cross-head
screwdriver.

It is recommended to install the speed
sensor on the front fork (as in picture 1) of
your bicycle. Do not install the speed
sensor on the seat stay if the (optional)
power sensor is mounted.

Speed Sensor Teaching
The cycling computer has to be coded to the
Speed Sensor i.e. taught to receive speed and
distance data. This enables exercising in a
group without interference from other sensors.
The cycling computer and sensor that come
with the product set have already been
synchronized but teaching is necessary when
you start using a new sensor or if you use other
bike settings than Bike 1.
Install the speed sensor to your bike as advised.
Before you start teaching, make sure that there
are no other speed sensors or cycling computers
nearby (40 m / 130 ft). The procedure only
takes a few seconds. You can teach one sensor
for each bike.
Select Settings > Bike > Bike 1/2/3 > Speed.
Select On/Off and On to turn the speed on.
Press OK. Teach new sensor? is displayed.
Select YES to confirm teaching. Rotate the
wheel a few times to activate the sensor. The
flashing red light indicates that the sensor is
activated. Completed is displayed once the
teaching process is over. The cycling
computer is now ready to receive speed and
distance data.
Select NO to cancel the teaching. The
teaching is cancelled and the cycling
computer resumes contact with the previous
sensor.
To return to Time mode, press and hold the
BACK button.

Care and Maintenance
Keep the speed 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 speed sensor in water.
Your safety is important to us. Make sure that
you can turn your handlebars normally and that
the cable wires for brakes or gears do not catch
the bike mount or the sensor. Also, make sure
that 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.
Speed Sensor Battery
Contact your authorized Polar Service Center for
a replacement of speed sensor. Polar recycles
used sensors. For more information on local
after sales services, consult the Polar Customer
Service Card.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if...
...the speed reading is 0.0 or there is no speed
reading while cycling?
Start searching for the data again by
pressing and holding the LIGHT button and
selecting Seek sensor.
Make sure the position and distance of the
sensor to the magnet are appropriate.
Check that you have activated the speed
function in the cycling computer. For further
information, see Speed Sensor Teaching.

If the 0.0 reading appears irregularly, this
may be due to temporary electromagnetic
interference in your current surroundings.
If the 0.0 reading is constant, you may have
exceeded 3000 riding hours and the battery
is empty.
Check speed is displayed?
Make sure your speed sensor is positioned
correctly. Rotate the wheel a few times to
activate the sensor. The flashing red light
indicates that the sensor is activated. Also
the battery of your speed sensor may be
empty. For futher information, see Care and
Maintenance.
Sensor not found and Try again? are
displayed?
Press OK to start seeking.
...there are irregular speed, distance or heart
rate readings?
Electromagnetic interference, as well as
interference from other wireless cycling
computers, may affect readings of speed,
distance and heart rate.
Disturbances may occur near high voltage
power lines, traffic lights, overhead lines of
electric railways, electric bus lines or trams,
WLAN base stations, car motors, bike
computers, some motor driven exercise
equipment, cellular phones, or when walking
through electric security gates.
