SENSORS: View all the sensors you have linked to the bike.

MEASURING THE WHEEL SIZE

Wheel size settings are a prerequisite for accurate cycling information. There are two ways to determine thewheel size of your bike:

22

Method 1

Measure the wheel manually for themost accurate result.

Use the valve tomark the point where the wheel touches the ground. Draw a line on the ground tomark thepoint. Move your bike forward on a flat surface for one complete rotation. The tire should be perpendicular tothe ground. Draw another line on the ground when the valve is at the starting point to mark a full rotation. Meas-ure the distance between the two lines.

Subtract 4mm from the distance to account for your weight on the bike to get your wheel circumference. Enterthis value in the cycling computer.

Method 2

Look for the diameter in inches or in ETRTO printed on the wheel. Match it to the wheel size in millimeters inthe right column of the chart.

You can also check the wheel size from themanufacturer.

ETRTO Wheel size diameter (inches) Wheel size setting (mm)

25-559 26 x 1.0 1884

23-571 650 x 23C 1909

35-559 26 x 1.50 1947

37-622 700 x 35C 1958

47-559 26 x 1.95 2022

20-622 700 x 20C 2051

52-559 26 x 2.0 2054

23-622 700 x 23C 2070

25-622 700 x 25C 2080

28-622 700 x 28 2101

32-622 700 x 32C 2126

42-622 700 x 40C 2189

55-622 29 x 2.2 2282

55-584 27.5 x 2.2 2124

23

Wheel sizes on the chart are advisory as wheel size depends on the wheel type and air pressure. Due tote variation of themeasurements, Polar cannot be held responsible for their validity.

PHYSICAL SETTINGSTo view and edit your physical settings, go toSettings > Physical settings. There you'll find:

l Sex

l Height

l Weight

l Date of birth

l HR max

l Resting HR

l VO2max

It is important that you are precise with the physical settings, especially when setting your weight, height,date of birth and sex, as they have an impact on the accuracy of themeasuring values, such as the heart ratelimits and calorie expenditure.

Tap to open the setting you want to change, and edit as you like. Confirm and return to previous menu by tap-ping .

In certain settings (e.g. SEX), tap the field until you see the correct value.

SEX

ChooseMale or Female.

HEIGHT

Set your height.

WEIGHT

Set your weight.

DATE OF BIRTH

Set your date of birth.

24

HR MAX

HR MAX:Set your maximum heart rate, if you know your laboratory measured current maximum heart ratevalue. Your age-predictedmaximum heart rate value (220-age) is displayed as a default setting when you setthis value for the first time.

About maximum heart rate

HRmax is used to estimate energy expenditure. HRmax is the highest number of heart-beats per minute duringmaximum physical exertion. HRmax is also useful whendetermining training intensity. Themost accuratemethod for determining your indi-vidual HRmax is to perform amaximal exercise stress test in a laboratory.

RESTING HR

RESTING HR: Set your resting heart rate.

About resting heart rate

A person’s resting heart rate (HRrest) is the lowest number of heart beats per minute(bpm) when fully relaxed and without distractions. Age, fitness level, genetics, healthstatus and gender affect the HRrest. HRrest is decreased as the result of car-diovascular conditioning. A normal value for an adult is 60-80 bpm, but for top athletesit can be below 30 bpm. An exceptionally high HRrest can be a sign of over-exertion orillness.

VO2 MAX

VO2max: Set your maximal oxygen uptake, VO2max.

About VO2max

A clear link exists between oxygen consumption (VO2) of the body and car-diorespiratory fitness because oxygen delivery to tissues is dependent on lung andheart function. VO2max (maximal oxygen uptake, maximal aerobic power) is themax-imal rate at which oxygen can be used by the body duringmaximal work; it is related dir-ectly to themaximal capacity of the heart to deliver blood to themuscles. VO2max canbemeasured or predicted by fitness tests (e.g. maximal tests, submaximal tests, PolarFitness Test). VO2max is a good index of cardiorespiratory fitness and a good predictorof performance capability in aerobic events such as distance running, cycling, cross-country skiing, and swimming.

VO2max can be expressed either as milliliters per minute (ml/min = ml ■ min-1) or thisvalue can be divided by the person’s body weight in kilograms (ml/kg/min = ml ■ kg-1■min-1).

25

The relationship between oxygen uptake (VO2) and heart rate (HR) is linear within anindividual during dynamic exercise. Percentages of VO2max can be changed to% ofHRmax with the following formula: %HRmax = (%VO2max + 28.12)/1.28.

VO2max is the basic variable of the intensity of exercise. When determining target exer-cise intensities heart rate is more practical and useful because it is easily and non-invasively obtained, e.g. on-line during exercise with heart rate monitors.

PAIR KÉO POWER WITH V650

Before pairing Kéo Powermake sure you have installed it correctly. For information onmounting the pedalsand installing the transmitters see the Polar LOOK Kéo Power user manual that came in the product box, orthe video tutorial.

The transmitters need to be paired one at a time. This means that you have to perform the pairing twice whentaking Kéo Power into use. After pairing the first transmitter, you can immediately pair the second one byselecting it from the list. Check the device ID on the backside of each transmitter to make sure you find thecorrect transmitters from the list.

1. Go toGeneral Settings > Pairing > Pair new device. The V650 should be less than threemeters from thesensor you want to pair it with. It's close enough when it's mounted on the handlebar.

2. Rotate the cranks to wake up the transmitters. A blinkingmagenta light in the sensor indicates that you'veactivated the sensor.

Do the pairing within 30 seconds of the sensor activation.

29

3. V650 lists the devices it finds. The device closest to V650 is at the top of the list. Tap the device you wantto pair.

4. Pairing succeeded tells you that the pairing is complete.

5. Link the sensor toBike 1, Bike 2, Bike 3 orBike 4. You can change the bike later inPaired devices.

6. Set the crank length in millimeters. Confirm and return to thePAIRINGmenu by tapping

When you select a bike for a ride, your V650 automatically starts searching for the sensors you've linkedto the bike. V650 is ready once the green circle around the sensor indicator is static.

POWER SETTINGS ON V650

Adjust the power settings to best suit your training needs. Edit the power settings inSettings > Sport pro-files, and choose the profile you want to edit, and choosePower settings.

In thePower settings you'll find:

l Power view: ChooseW (Watts),W/kg (Watts/kg) or FTP % (% of FTP).

l FTP (W): Set your FTP value. The range is 60 to 600 watts.

l Power, rolling average: Choose 3, 10 or 30 second rolling average of power data, or chooseSetother to set the rolling average to any value between 1-99 sec.

l Power zones: View and change the power zone limits.

CALIBRATE KÉO POWER

Calibrate Kéo Power before starting your session. V650 starts the calibration automatically each time thetransmitters wake up and V650 is found. The calibration takes a couple of seconds.

The temperature of your training environment affects calibration accuracy. If you're going to train out-doors, for example, take your bike outdoors half an hour before doing the offset calibration. (This way yourbike's temperature is about the same as that of your training environment.)

To calibrate Kéo power:

1. Choose the bike to which the sensor is linked and return to themain view by tapping . Keep V650 inthemain view during the calibration.

2. Wake up the transmitters by rotating the cranks to start the calibration.

3. Keep the bike upright and cranks in place until calibration is completed.

To ensure the calibration is done properly:

30

l Do not put any weight on the pedals during calibration.

l Do not interrupt the calibration.

When the calibration is complete a green LED will blink on the transmitters, and you can start your session.

31

INSTALL BIKE MOUNTINSTALL BIKE MOUNTYou can install the Polar Adjustable BikeMount on the stem or on the left- or right-hand side of the handlebar.

1. Place the rubber base on the stem/handlebar

2. Position the bikemount on the rubber base so the POLAR logo is in line with the handlebar.

3. Secure the bikemount on to the stem/handlebar with the O-ring.

4. Align the ledges on the back of the V650 with the slots on the bikemount and turn clockwise until the V650is in its place.

POLAR HEART RATE ZONES

Polar heart rate zones introduce a new level of effectiveness in heart rate-based training. Training is dividedinto five heart rate zones based on percentages of maximum heart rate. With heart rate zones, you can easilyselect andmonitor training intensities.

Target zone Intensity % ofHRmax*, bpm

Example dur-ations Training effect

MAXIMUM 90–100% 171–190 bpm

less than 5minutes

Benefits: Maximal or near maximal effort forbreathing andmuscles.

Feels like: Very exhausting for breathing andmuscles.

Recommended for: Very experienced and fitathletes. Short intervals only, usually in finalpreparation for short events.

50

Target zone Intensity % ofHRmax*, bpm

Example dur-ations Training effect

HARD

80–90% 152–172bpm 2–10minutes

Benefits: Increased ability to sustain highspeed endurance.

Feels like: Causes muscular fatigue andheavy breathing.

Recommended for: Experienced athletes foryear-round training, and for various durations.Becomes more important during pre com-petition season.

MODERATE

70–80% 133–152bpm 10–40minutes

Benefits: Enhances general training pace,makes moderate intensity efforts easier andimproves efficiency.

Feels like: Steady, controlled, fast breathing.

Recommended for: Athletes training forevents, or looking for performance gains.

LIGHT

60–70% 114-133bpm 40–80minutes

Benefits: Improves general base fitness,improves recovery and boosts metabolism.

Feels like: Comfortable and easy, low muscleand cardiovascular load.

Recommended for: Everybody for long train-ing sessions during base training periods andfor recovery exercises during competition sea-son.

VERY LIGHT 50–60% 104–114bpm 20–40minutes

Benefits: Helps to warm up and cool downand assists recovery.

Feels like: Very easy, little strain.

51

Target zone Intensity % ofHRmax*, bpm

Example dur-ations Training effect

Recommended for: For recovery and cool-down, throughout training season.

HRmax = Maximum heart rate (220-age). Example: 30 years old, 220–30=190 bpm.

Training in heart rate zone 1 is done at a very low intensity. Themain training principle is that performanceimproves when recovering after, and not only during training. Accelerate the recovery process with very lightintensity training.

Training in heart rate zone 2 is for endurance training, an essential part of any training program. Training ses-sions in this zone are easy and aerobic. Long-duration training in this light zone results in effective energyexpenditure. Progress will require persistence.

Aerobic power is enhanced in heart rate zone 3. The training intensity is higher than in sport zones 1 and 2, butstill mainly aerobic. Training in sport zone 3may, for example, consist of intervals followed by recovery. Train-ing in this zone is especially effective for improving the efficiency of blood circulation in the heart and skeletalmuscles.

If your goal is to compete at top potential, you will have to train in heart rate zones 4 and 5. In these zones, youexercise anaerobically in intervals of up to 10minutes. The shorter the interval, the higher the intensity. Suf-ficient recovery between intervals is very important. The training pattern in zones 4 and 5 is designed to pro-duce peak performance.

The Polar target heart rate zones can be personalized by using a laboratory measured HRmax value, or by tak-ing a field test to measure the value yourself. When training in a target heart rate zone, try to make use of theentire zone. Themid-zone is a good target, but keeping your heart rate at that exact level all the time is notnecessary. Heart rate gradually adjusts to training intensity. For instance, when crossing from heart rate tar-get zone 1 to 3, the circulatory system and heart rate will adjust in 3-5minutes.

Heart rate responds to training intensity depending on factors such as fitness and recovery levels, as well asenvironmental factors. It is important to look out for subjective feelings of fatigue, and to adjust your trainingprogram accordingly.

SMART CALORIES

Themost accurate calorie counter on themarket calculates the number of calories burned. The energyexpenditure calculation is based on:

IMPORTANT INFORMATIONBATTERIESThe Polar V650 training device has an internal, rechargable battery. Rechargeable batteries have a limitednumber of charge cycles. You can charge and discharge the battery over 300 times before a notable decreasein its capacity. The number of charge cycles also varies according to use and operating conditions.

At the end of the working life of the product Polar encourages you tominimize possible effects of waste on theenvironment and human health by following local waste disposal regulations and, where possible, utilizing sep-arate collection of electronic devices. Do not dispose of this product as unsortedmunicipal waste.

The PolarBluetoothSmart® heart rate sensor has a user changeable battery. To change the battery yourself,please follow the instructions carefully as instructed in chapter Change the Heart Rate Sensor Battery.

The batteries for the speed sensorBluetoothSmart® , and cadence sensorBluetoothSmart® cannot bereplaced. Polar has designed the sensors to be sealed in order to maximizemechanical longevity and reli-ability. The sensors have long-life batteries inside. To purchase a new sensor contact your authorized PolarService Center or retailer.

Keep the batteries away from children. If swallowed, contact a doctor immediately. Batteries should be dis-posed of properly according to local regulations.

CHANGE THE HEART RATE SENSOR BATTERY

To change the battery of the heart rate sensor yourself, carefully follow the instructions below:

When changing the battery, make sure the sealing ring is not damaged, in which case you should replace itwith a new one. You can purchase the sealing ring/battery kits at well-equipped Polar retailers and authorizedPolar Services. In the USA and Canada, the additional sealing rings are available at authorized Polar ServiceCenters. In the USA the sealing ring/battery kits are also available at www.shoppolar.com.

When handling a new, fully charged battery, avoid clasp-like contact, i.e. simultaneously from both sides, withmetal or electrically conducting tools, like tweezers. This may short circuit the battery, causing it to dischargemore rapidly. Typically, short circuiting does not damage the battery, but it may decrease the capacity and thelifetime of the battery.

62

1. Lever the battery cover open by using the clip on thestrap.

2. Remove the old battery from the battery cover with asuitable sized small rigid stick or bar, such as a tooth-pick. A non-metal tool is preferable. Be careful not todamage the battery cover.

POLAR FLOWMOBILE APPLICATION COMPATIBILITY

The Polar Flow mobile app compatibility information is available on this link: Polar Flow app compatibility withPolar V650.

WATER RESISTANCE OF POLAR PRODUCTS

Most Polar products can be worn when swimming. They are not, however, diving instruments. Tomaintainwater resistance, do not press the buttons of the device under water. Whenmeasuring heart rate in water witha Polar heart rate sensor attached around your chest, youmay experience interference for the followingreasons:

l Pool water with high chlorine content, and seawater are very conductive. The electrodes of the heartrate sensor may short-circuit, preventing ECG signals from being detected by the heart rate sensor.

l Jumping into water or strenuous muscle movement during competitive swimmingmay shift the heartrate sensor to a location on the body where ECG signals cannot be picked up.

l The ECG signal strength is individual andmay vary depending on the individual’s tissue composition.Problems occur more frequently whenmeasuring heart rate in water.

Polar devices with wrist-based heart rate measurement (A360, M200 andM600) are suitable for swim-ming and bathing. They will collect your activity data from your wrist movements also when swimming. In ourtests, however, we found that the wrist-based heart rate measurement doesn’t work optimally in water, so wecannot recommendwrist-based heart rate measurement for swimming.

In the watch industry, water resistance is generally indicated as meters, whichmeans the static water pres-sure of that depth. Polar uses this same indication system. Water resistance of Polar products is testedaccording to International Standard ISO 22810 or IEC60529. Every Polar device that has water resistanceindication is tested before the delivery to stand water pressure.

Polar products are divided into four different categories according to their water resistance. Check the back ofyour Polar product for the water resistance category, and compare it to the chart below. Please note that thesedefinitions do not necessarily apply to products of other manufacturers.

67

When performing any underwater activity, the dynamic pressure generated by moving in water is greater thanthe static pressure. This means that moving the product under water subjects it to a greater pressure than ifthe product were stationary.
