Polar Cadence Sensor is designed to measure
cadence, i.e. crank revolutions per minute,
when cycling. Polar Speed Sensor is designed to
measure speed and distance when cycling. The
sensors are compatible with Bluetooth®Smart
Ready devices that support Bluetooth®Cycling
Speed and Cadence Service.
You can use your sensors with dozens of leading
fitness apps as well as with Polar products
using Bluetooth®Smart. Check the compatible
products and devices at www.polar.com/support.

Please follow the pictures on the front and back
covers.
Write the device ID printed on each sensor in
the space on the front cover (picture 1). The
original marking may fade as a result of
normal wear and tear.

Cadence Sensor Parts
1. Cadence sensor (pictures 2 A and 3 A)
2. Cadence magnet (picture 3 B)
Installing the Cadence Sensor
For a video tutorial, see Installing Polar
Cadence Sensor at
www.polar.com/en/polar_community/videos.
To install the cadence sensor and cadence
magnet, you need cutters.
1. Check the chain stay for a suitable place
for the cadence sensor (picture 2 A on the
front cover). Do not install the sensor on
the same side as the chain. The Polar logo
on the sensor should be facing away from
the crank (picture 3 A on the back cover).
2. Attach the rubber part to the sensor
(picture 1 on the front cover).
3. Clean and dry a suitable place for the
sensor and place the sensor on the chain
stay (picture 3 A on the back cover). If the
sensor touches the rotating crank, tilt the
sensor slightly away from the crank. Pass
the cable ties over the sensor and rubber
part. Do not tighten them fully yet.
ENGLISH 3
4. Place the cadence magnet vertically on the
inner side of the crank (picture 3 B on the
back cover). Before attaching the magnet,
clean and dry the area thoroughly. Attach
the magnet to the crank and secure with
tape.
5. Fine-tune the positioning of the sensor so
that the magnet passes close to the sensor
without actually touching it (picture 3 on
the back cover). Tilt the sensor towards the
magnet so that the gap between the sensor
and the magnet is under 4 mm/0.16’’. The
gap is correct when you can fit a cable tie
between the magnet and the sensor. There
is a small caved dot on the backside of the
sensor (picture 1 A on the front cover),
which indicates the spot the magnet should
be pointing at when passing the sensor.
6. Rotate the crank to test the cadence
sensor. The flashing red light on the sensor
indicates that the magnet and the sensor
are positioned correctly. If you keep
rotating the crank, the light will stop
flashing. Tighten the cable ties securely
and cut off any excess cable tie ends.

Speed Sensor Parts
1. Speed sensor (pictures 2 B and 4 A)
2. Spoke magnet (picture 4 B)
Installing the Speed Sensor
For a video tutorial, see Installing Polar Speed
Sensor at
www.polar.com/en/polar_community/videos.
To install the speed sensor and spoke magnet,
you need cutters and a cross-head screwdriver.
1. It is recommended to install the speed
sensor on the front fork of your bicycle (as
in picture 2 B on the front cover).
2. Attach the rubber part to the speed sensor
(picture 1 on the front cover).
3. Pass the cable ties over the speed sensor
and rubber part (picture 4 A on the back
cover). Adjust the sensor to the front fork
so that the POLAR logo faces outwards.
Adjust the ties loosely. Do not tighten them
fully yet.
ENGLISH 5
4. Attach the magnet to a spoke at the same
level as the speed sensor (picture 4 on the
back cover). There is a small caved dot on
the backside of the sensor (picture 1 A on
the front cover), which indicates the spot
the magnet should be pointing at when
passing the sensor. Fasten the magnet to
the spoke and tighten it lightly with a
screwdriver. Do not tighten it fully yet.
5. Fine-tune the positioning of both the
magnet and the speed sensor so that the
magnet passes close to the sensor but does
not touch it (picture 4 on the back cover).
Move the sensor towards the wheel/spokes
as close as possible. The gap between the
sensor and the magnet should be under 4
mm/0.16’’. The gap is correct when you
can fit a cable tie between the magnet and
the sensor.
6. Rotate the front tire to test the speed
sensor. The flashing red light on the sensor
indicates that the magnet and the sensor
are positioned correctly. If you keep
rotating the tire, the light will stop flashing.
Tighten the screw to the magnet with a
screwdriver. Also tighten the cable ties
securely and cut off any excess cable tie
ends.
Before you start cycling, set the wheel size of
your bicycle into the receiving device or
mobile application.
6ENGLISH
Pairing
Your new sensors must be paired with the
receiving device in order to receive data. For
more information, see the user guidance
material of the receiving device or mobile
application.
To ensure a good connection between the
sensors and the receiving device, it is
recommended to keep the device in a bike
mount on the handlebar.
Care and Maintenance
Keep the sensors clean. Clean them with a mild soap
and water solution, and rinse off with clean water. Dry
carefully with a soft towel. Never use alcohol or any
abrasive material, such as steel wool or cleaning
chemicals. Do not immerse the sensors in water.
Your safety is important to us. Make sure that you can
turn your handlebars normally and that the cable wires
for brakes or gears do not catch the bike mount or
sensors. Also, make sure that sensors do not disturb
pedaling or using the brakes or gears. While riding your
bike, keep your eyes on the road to prevent possible
accidents and injury. Avoid hard hits as these may
damage the sensors.
Replacement magnet sets can be purchased separately.
ENGLISH 7
Battery
The batteries cannot be replaced. The sensors are
sealed in order to maximize mechanical longevity and
reliability. To purchase a new sensor, contact your
authorized Polar Service or retailer. You can also
purchase sensors online. Go to www.polar.com to find
your own country's shoppolar online store.
The battery level of your sensors is displayed on the
receiving device if it supports Bluetooth®Battery
Service.
To increase battery life, the sensors go into standby
mode in thirty minutes if you stop cycling and the
magnets are not passing the sensors.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if...
...the cadence/speed reading is 0 or there is no
cadence/speed reading while cycling?
• Make sure the position and distance of the sensor to
the magnet are appropriate.
• Check that you have activated the cadence/speed
function in the receiving device. For further
information, see the user guidance material of the
receiving device or mobile application.
• Try keeping the receiving device in a bike mount on
the handlebar. This may improve the connection.
• If the 0 reading appears irregularly, this may be due
to temporary electromagnetic interference in your
current surroundings.
• If the 0 reading is constant, the battery may be
empty.
