GET STARTED

Before starting to train with your FT4, you need to go through a couple of steps. First, press and hold any button for one second to activate your heart rate monitor. Then, go through the basic settings.

Please be precise with your settings. They make a big difference to how accurately your heart rate monitor can measure values such as your heart rate limits and calorie consumption.

WEAR THE HEART RATE SENSOR

1. Moisten the electrode area of the strap.

2. Clip the strap around your chest and adjust the strap to fit snugly.

Attach the connector.

After training, detach the connector and rinse the strap under running water to keep it clean. For more detailed instructions, see the full user manual at polar.com/support .
