If you’re in a hurry for your first run with V650, you can do a quick set up by entering the basic settings on the device, as instructed in
.
CHARGE THE BATTERY
After unboxing your V650, the first thing you need to do is charge the battery. Let your V650 fully charge before taking it into use for the first time.
The V650 has an internal, rechargeable battery. Use the USB cable included in the product set to charge your
V650 via the USB connector on your computer. You can also charge the battery via a wall outlet. When charging via a wall outlet use a USB power adapter (not included in the product set). If you use an AC adapter, make sure that the adapter is marked with "output 5Vdc 1A-2A max". Only use an AC adapter which is adequately safety approved (marked with "LPS", "Limited Power Supply" or "UL listed").
1. Push down to open the cap.
2. Lift the cap and plug the micro USB connector into the USB port.
3. Plug the other end of the cable into your PC.
4. The charging animation appears on the display. Charging the battery fully takes up to five hours.
The operating time of the battery is approximately 10 hours. The operating time depends on many factors, such as the temperature of the environment in which you use your V650, the features you select and use, and battery aging. The operating time is significantly reduced in temperatures well below freezing.
Don't leave the battery fully discharged for a long period of time or keep it fully charged all the time, because it might affect the battery life time.

MEASURING THE WHEEL SIZE
Wheel size settings are a prerequisite for accurate cycling information. There are two ways to determine the wheel size of your bike:
Method 1
Measure the wheel manually for the most accurate result.
21
Use the valve to mark the point where the wheel touches the ground. Draw a line on the ground to mark the point. Move your bike forward on a flat surface for one complete rotation. The tire should be perpendicular to the ground. Draw another line on the ground when the valve is at the starting point to mark a full rotation. Measure the distance between the two lines.
Subtract 4 mm from the distance to account for your weight on the bike to get your wheel circumference. Enter this 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 in the right column of the chart.
You can also check the wheel size from the manufacturer.

:Set your maximum heart rate, if you know your laboratory measured current maximum heart rate value. Your age-predicted maximum heart rate value (220-age) is displayed as a default setting when you set this value for the first time.
About maximum heart rate
HR max is used to estimate energy expenditure. HR max is the highest number of heartbeats per minute during maximum physical exertion. HR max is also useful when determining training intensity. The most accurate method for determining your individual HR max is to perform a maximal 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 (HR rest
) is the lowest number of heart beats per minute
(bpm) when fully relaxed and without distractions. Age, fitness level, genetics, health status and gender affect the HR rest
. HR rest is decreased as the result of cardiovascular conditioning. A normal value for an adult is 60-80 bpm, but for top athletes it can be below 30 bpm. An exceptionally high HR rest illness.
can be a sign of over-exertion or
VO2 MAX
VO2max
: Set your maximal oxygen uptake, VO2 max
.
About VO2
max
A clear link exists between oxygen consumption (VO2) of the body and cardiorespiratory fitness because oxygen delivery to tissues is dependent on lung and heart function. VO2 max
(maximal oxygen uptake, maximal aerobic power) is the maximal rate at which oxygen can be used by the body during maximal work; it is related directly to the maximal capacity of the heart to deliver blood to the muscles. VO2 max can be measured or predicted by fitness tests (e.g. maximal tests, submaximal tests, Polar
Fitness Test). VO2 max is a good index of cardiorespiratory fitness and a good predictor of performance capability in aerobic events such as distance running, cycling, crosscountry skiing, and swimming.
24
VO2 max can be expressed either as milliliters per minute (ml/min = ml ■ min-1) or this value can be divided by the person’s body weight in kilograms (ml/kg/min = ml ■ kg-1■ min-1).
The relationship between oxygen uptake (VO2) and heart rate (HR) is linear within an individual during dynamic exercise. Percentages of VO
2max
HR max with the following formula: %HR max
= (%VO2 max can be changed to % of
+ 28.12)/1.28.
VO2 max is the basic variable of the intensity of exercise. When determining target exercise intensities heart rate is more practical and useful because it is easily and noninvasively obtained, e.g. on-line during exercise with heart rate monitors.

CALIBRATE KÉO POWER
Calibrate Kéo Power before starting your session. V650 starts the calibration automatically each time the transmitters 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 outdoors, for example, take your bike outdoors half an hour before doing the offset calibration. (This way your bike'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 the main view by tapping
. Keep V650 in the main 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: 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.

Feels like: Comfortable and easy, low muscle and cardiovascular load.
Recommended for: Everybody for long training sessions during base training periods and for recovery exercises during competition season.
50–60% 104–114 bpm
20–40 minutes Benefits: Helps to warm up and cool down and assists recovery.
Feels like: Very easy, little strain.
Recommended for: For recovery and cooldown, throughout training season.
HRmax = Maximum heart rate (220-age). Example: 30 years old, 220–30=190 bpm.
52
Training in heart rate zone 1 is done at a very low intensity. The main training principle is that performance improves when recovering after, and not only during training. Accelerate the recovery process with very light intensity training.
Training in heart rate zone 2 is for endurance training, an essential part of any training program. Training sessions in this zone are easy and aerobic. Long-duration training in this light zone results in effective energy expenditure. 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, but still mainly aerobic. Training in sport zone 3 may, for example, consist of intervals followed by recovery. Training in this zone is especially effective for improving the efficiency of blood circulation in the heart and skeletal muscles.
If your goal is to compete at top potential, you will have to train in heart rate zones 4 and 5. In these zones, you exercise anaerobically in intervals of up to 10 minutes. The shorter the interval, the higher the intensity. Sufficient recovery between intervals is very important. The training pattern in zones 4 and 5 is designed to produce peak performance.
The Polar target heart rate zones can be personalized by using a laboratory measured HRmax value, or by taking a field test to measure the value yourself. When training in a target heart rate zone, try to make use of the entire zone. The mid-zone is a good target, but keeping your heart rate at that exact level all the time is not necessary. Heart rate gradually adjusts to training intensity. For instance, when crossing from heart rate target zone 1 to 3, the circulatory system and heart rate will adjust in 3-5 minutes.
Heart rate responds to training intensity depending on factors such as fitness and recovery levels, as well as environmental factors. It is important to look out for subjective feelings of fatigue, and to adjust your training program accordingly.
SMART CALORIES
The most accurate calorie counter on the market calculates the number of calories burned. The energy expenditure calculation is based on: l
Body weight, height, age, gender l
Individual maximum heart rate (HR max
) l
Heart rate during training l
Individual resting heart rate value (HR rest
)
53
l
Individual maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max
) l
Altitude
For best possible Smart Calories information accuracy, please give V650 your measured VO2max and
HRmax values if you have them.
TRAINING BENEFIT
The Training Benefit feature helps you better understand the effectiveness of your training. This feature requires the use of the heart rate sensor. After each training session you get textual feedback on your performance providing that you have trained at least a total of 10 minutes in the sport zones. The feedback is based on training time distribution on sport zones, calorie expenditure and duration. In Training Files you get the feedback in more detail. The descriptions of different training benefit options are listed in the table below

CARING FOR YOUR V650
Like any electronic device, the Polar V650 should be treated with care. The suggestions below will help you fulfil guarantee obligations and enjoy this product for many years to come.
POLAR V650
Keep your training device clean. Use a damp paper towel to wipe dirt from the training device. To maintain the water resistance, do not wash the training device with a pressure washer. Do not immerse the training device in water. Never use alcohol or any abrasive material such as steel wool or cleaning chemicals.
After each time of using the USB port of the training device, check visually that there is no hair, dust or other dirt on the sealing surface area of the lid/back case. Gently wipe to remove any dirt. Do not use any sharp tools or equipment for cleaning, which could cause scratches to the plastic parts.
Not suitable for bathing or swimming. Protected against wash splashes and raindrops. Do not immerse the training device in water. Using the training device in excessive rainfall may cause interference on GPS reception.
HEART RATE SENSOR
Connector: Detach the connector from the strap after every use and dry the connector with a soft towel.
Clean the connector with a mild soap and water solution when needed. Never use alcohol or any abrasive material (eg. steel wool or cleaning chemicals).
Strap: Rinse the strap under running water after every use and hang to dry. Clean the strap gently with a mild soap and water solution when needed. Do not use moisturizing soaps, because they can leave residue on the strap. Do not soak, iron, dry clean or bleach the strap. Do not stretch the strap or bend the electrode areas sharply.
Check the washing instructions on the label of the strap.
SPEED SENSOR BLUETOOTH® SMART AND CADENCE
SENSOR BLUETOOTH® SMART
Clean the sensors with a mild soap and water solution and rinse them with clean water. To maintain the water resistance, do not wash the sensors with a pressure washer. Do not immerse the speed sensor or cadence sensor in water. Never use alcohol or any abrasive material such as steel wool or cleaning chemicals. Avoid hard hits to the sensors, as these may damage the sensor units.
59
STORING
Keep your training device and sensors in a cool and dry place. Do not keep them in a damp environment, in non-breathable material (a plastic bag or a sports bag) nor with conductive material (a wet towel). Do not expose the training device to direct sunlight for extended periods, such as by leaving it in a car or mounted on the bike mount.
We recommend that you store the V650 charged. The battery slowly loses its charge when it is stored. If you are going to store your V650 for several months, we recommend that you recharge it after a few months. This will prolong the battery lifetime.
Dry and store the strap and the connector separately to maximize the heart rate sensor battery lifetime. Keep the heart rate sensor in a cool and dry place. To prevent snap oxidation, do not store the heart rate sensor wet in non-breathing material, such as a sports bag. Do not expose the heart rate sensor to direct sunlight for extended periods.
SERVICE

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
BATTERIES
The Polar V650 training device has an internal, rechargable battery. Rechargeable batteries have a limited number of charge cycles. You can charge and discharge the battery over 300 times before a notable decrease in 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 to minimize possible effects of waste on the environment and human health by following local waste disposal regulations and, where possible, utilizing separate collection of electronic devices. Do not dispose of this product as unsorted municipal waste.
The Polar Bluetooth Smart® 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 sensor Bluetooth Smart® , and cadence sensor Bluetooth Smart® cannot be replaced. Polar has designed the sensors to be sealed in order to maximize mechanical longevity and reliability. The sensors have long-life batteries inside. To purchase a new sensor contact your authorized Polar
Service Center or retailer.
Keep the batteries away from children. If swallowed, contact a doctor immediately. Batteries should be disposed 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 it with a new one. You can purchase the sealing ring/battery kits at well-equipped Polar retailers and authorized
Polar Services. In the USA and Canada, the additional sealing rings are available at authorized Polar Service
Centers. 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, with metal or electrically conducting tools, like tweezers. This may short circuit the battery, causing it to discharge more rapidly. Typically, short circuiting does not damage the battery, but it may decrease the capacity and the lifetime of the battery.
61
1. Lever the battery cover open by using the clip on the strap.
2. Remove the old battery from the battery cover with a suitable sized small rigid stick or bar, such as a toothpick. A non-metal tool is preferable. Be careful not to damage the battery cover.
3. Insert a new battery (CR 2025) inside the cover with the negative (-) side facing up.
4. Align the ledge on the battery cover with the slot on the connector and press the battery cover back into place.
You should hear a snap.
Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
PRECAUTIONS
The Polar V650 shows your performance indicators. The training device is designed to indicate the level of physiological strain and recovery during and after an exercise session. It measures heart rate, speed and distance. It also measures cycling cadence when used with a cadence sensor. No other use is intended or implied.
The training device should not be used for obtaining environmental measurements that require professional or industrial precision.
INTERFERENCE DURING TRAINING
Electromagnetic Interference and Training Equipment
Disturbance may occur near electrical devices. Also WLAN base stations may cause interference when training with the training device. To avoid erratic reading or misbehavior, move away from possible sources of disturbance.
62
MINIMIZING RISKS WHEN TRAINING
Training may include some risk. Before beginning a regular training program, it is recommended that you answer the following questions concerning your health status. If you answer yes to any of these questions, we recommend that you consult a doctor before starting any training program.
• Have you been physically inactive for the past 5 years?
• Do you have high blood pressure or high blood cholesterol?
• Are you taking any blood pressure or heart medication?
• Do you have a history of breathing problems?
• Do you have symptoms of any disease?
• Are you recovering from a serious illness or medical treatment?
• Do you use a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device?
• Do you smoke?
• Are you pregnant?
Note that in addition to training intensity, medications for heart conditions, blood pressure, psychological conditions, asthma, breathing, etc., as well as some energy drinks, alcohol, and nicotine may also affect heart rate.
It is important to be sensitive to your body’s responses during training. If you feel unexpected pain or
excessive fatigue when training, it is recommended that you stop the training or continue at a lighter intensity.
Note! If you are using a pacemaker, you can use Polar products. In theory interference to pacemaker caused by Polar products should not be possible. In practice no reports exist to suggest anyone ever having experienced interference. We cannot however issue an official guarantee on our products' suitability with all pacemakers or other implanted devices due to the variety of devices available. If you have any doubts, or if you experience any unusual sensations while using Polar products, please consult your physician or contact the implanted electronic device manufacturer to determine safety in your case.
If you are allergic to any substance that comes into contact with your skin or if you suspect an allergic reaction due to using the product, check the listed materials in
Technical Specifications . To avoid any skin reaction to
63
the heart rate sensor, wear it over a shirt, but moisten the shirt well under the electrodes to ensure flawless operation.
The combined impact of moisture and intense abrasion may cause a black color to come off the heart rate sensor’s surface, possibly staining light-colored clothes. If you use perfume or insect repellent on your skin, you must ensure that it does not come into contact with the training device or the heart rate sensor.
