Instructions

CS Cadence Sensor W.I.N.D. Features Click Here for Optional Accessory

Bike settings � You can define settings up to two to three bikes in your training computer. When you start training, you can select the bike with the correct settings for that particular training session.
Cadence � Your cycling cadence stands for your pedaling rate in revolutions per minute (rpm). Cadence is the central factor in improving cycling performance. A higher cadence reduces the force needed for each pedal stroke, and thus improves overall performance. Running cadence measures how many times your either right or left foot hits the ground in one minute. Running cadence is measured as steps per minute. With this feature you can sharpen your cadence and make your ground contact time shorter. This will help you to find a balance between leg power and leg speed.

CS Speed Sensor W.I.N.D. Features Click Here for Optional Accessory

Current speed display range
0-400 km/h or 0-248.5 mph
Autostart/stop - By activating Autostart/autostop feature, the cycling computer starts and stops training recording automatically when you start or stop pedaling.
Bike settings � You can define settings up to two to three bikes in your training computer. When you start training, you can select the bike with the correct settings for that particular training session.
Distance – Distance (km, mi) can be set and measured in several ways. Training distance tells you the distance traveled during a training session. Trip distance tells you the distance from the latest trip reset. Lap distance tells you the distance of one lap. Total distance is the distance accumulated since the last reset. Odometer tells you the cumulative distance which you cannot reset.
Speed � current, average and maximum

Distance � Distance (km, mi) can be set and measured in several ways. Training distance tells you the distance traveled during a training session. Trip distance tells you the distance from the latest trip reset. Lap distance tells you the distance of one lap. Total distance is the distance accumulated since the last reset. Odometer tells you the cumulative distance which you cannot reset.
Route mapping � opt. with polarpersonaltrainer.com web service
Running Index - Based on heart rate and speed data measured during the run. It gives daily information about your performance level, both aerobic fitness and running economy. Improvement in running efficiency indicates improved economy of running performance.
Speed/Pace � Speed (km/h or mi/h) is measured with GPS, footpod, stride sensor or cycling speed sensor. Pace (expressed as min/km or min/mile) stands for the rate of speed. Pace is usually used in running. By setting a target pace, you can follow how fast you need to run in order to reach a certain distance in a predefined time.
Map view � When you use a GPS sensor you get a map view of your training route. On the map you can examine your training data in further detail.

s3 and s3+ Stride Sensor Features Click Here for Optional Accessory

Current speed display range - 0-400 km/h or 0-248.5 mph
Average stride length - Stride length is the average length of one step, that is, the distance between your right and left foot contacting the ground. Runners adjust stride length to gather speed: stride length increases as speed increases. Yet one of the most common mistakes novice runners make is over-striding. The most efficient stride length is the natural one � the one that feels most comfortable.
Cadence � Your cycling cadence stands for your pedaling rate in revolutions per minute (rpm). Cadence is the central factor in improving cycling performance. A higher cadence reduces the force needed for each pedal stroke, and thus improves overall performance. Running cadence measures how many times your either right or left foot hits the ground in one minute. Running cadence is measured as steps per minute.
