How much should I exercise as an adult per week?

As an adult, it is recommended to do moderately intensive exercise for at least 2.5 hours per week. Preferably spread over several days.

How high is an adult's heart rate at rest?

An adult's resting heart rate is between 60 and 100 beats per minute.

What is an adult's maximum heart rate?

As a rule of thumb for your maximum heart rate, you can use 220 minus your age.

How do I troubleshoot if the speed reading on my Polar S710 heart rate monitor is showing 00 or no reading at all while cycling?

To troubleshoot if the speed reading on your Polar S710 heart rate monitor is showing 00 or no reading at all while cycling, follow these steps: 1. Ensure that the bike is stationary until your heart rate appears on the display. Press OK to start recording your exercise. If you want to record cycling information without heart rate measurement, press OK after the heart rate reading 00 appears and start cycling. 2. Check if you have bike 1 or 2 and altitude settings on. These displays will start to alternate as you enter the Measure mode. 3. Start from the Time of day display by pressing OK to start measuring your heart rate. A heart symbol will start flashing, and your heart rate in beats per minute will appear within 15 seconds. The receiver will automatically return to the Time of day display within 5 minutes if there is no heart rate reception. 4. If you have no bike or altitude settings in use, the following displays will start to alternate as you enter the Measure mode: Exercise name, Memory left, Bike OFF, Altitude OFF, Time of day, and Current heart rate. By following these steps, you can troubleshoot the speed reading issues on your Polar S710 heart rate monitor while cycling.

What should I do if the altitude readings on my Polar S710 heart rate monitor are inaccurate?

To troubleshoot inaccurate altitude readings on your Polar S710 heart rate monitor, follow these steps: 1. Check if there has been a sudden temperature change, such as going outdoors in winter. This can temporarily affect altitude readings. 2. If the altitude readings are constantly inaccurate, it may be due to dirt blocking the air pressure channels on the backcover of the receiver. In this case, it is recommended to send the heart rate monitor to a Polar Service Center for further assistance. By following these steps, you can address the issue of inaccurate altitude readings on your Polar S710 heart rate monitor.

What steps can I take if I'm experiencing issues with data transfer from the receiver to my computer with the Polar S710 heart rate monitor?

To troubleshoot issues with data transfer from the receiver to your computer with the Polar S710 heart rate monitor, follow these steps: 1. Start the software on your computer. 2. Connect the Polar IR Interface to the serial port (RS-232) of your computer. 3. Ensure that the receiver is in the Time of day display. Scroll up or down until "CONNECT" is displayed. 4. Point the infrared window of the receiver towards the infrared window of the interface. The maximum infrared transfer distance is 20 cm/8" and the infrared transfer angle is ± 15 degrees. 5. Activate the heart rate monitor connection function of the software. 6. Your receiver should now communicate with the computer. The receiver will automatically return to the Time of day display after data transfer. If the data transfer is unsuccessful, try the following: - Bring the receiver closer to the loudspeakers or turn up the volume level of the loudspeakers. - Interrupt the data transfer by pressing the stop button during the transfer. "CONNECT" will be displayed. Note: To upload settings from the computer to the wrist receiver, you can use either IR communication or audible Polar Uplink.
