No: Altitude calibration canceled is displayed. 
Calibrate the altitude to ensure it remains accurate. Set the reference altitude whenever a 
reliable reference, such as a peak or a topographic map, is available or when at sea level.  
Calibrating the Altitude Automatically 
Select Settings > Features > Altitude > AutoCalib > On / Off 
By using the altitude Automatic Calibration option, you can adjust the starting elevation to be 
set always the same in the beginning of the exercise. Calibrate the elevation manually and 
turn the Automatic Calibration (AutoCalib) on. From now on, this elevation will be always 
used as the base elevation in the beginning or the exercise, when automatic altitude calibration 
is in use. Also, if the Automatic Calibration is turned on and you calibrate the Training 
System manually, this new value will be used as a new starting elevation for the Automatic 
Calibration option. 
If the elevation or air pressure changes significantly, you are prompted to confirm the change. 
If you change the elevation,Altitude calibrated to xx m/ft indicates that calibration has 
succeeded.If Altitude calibration failed is displayed, re-calibrate the altitude. 
You can also set the elevation for the Automatic Calibration also by using the Polar Equine 
software. For more information see software help. 
Select this option if you train in the same environment. This way, altitude values are always 
correct. If the sport profile of the exercise includes automatic calibration ,altitude 
measurement always begins at this elevation regardless of the general elevation settings.
 
Recording Rate 
Select Settings > Features > Rec.rate > 1 / 5 / 15 / 60 sec 
The Training System can store your heart rate, speed, cadence, power and altitude in 1, 5, 15 
or 60 second intervals. A longer interval gives you more recording time, while a shorter 
interval allows you to record more heart and other data. This enables accurate data analysis 
using the Polar Equine software. 
A shorter recording rate consumes the memory of the Training System more rapidly. The 
remaining recording time is displayed on the lower row when setting the rate. Default 
recording rate is 5 seconds.  
When less than 30 minutes of maximum recording time is left, the recording rate changes 
automatically to longer recording time (1s > 5s > 15s > 60s). This will maximize recoding 
time to record exercise data. When the session ends, the current recording rate will be used in 
the next training session.  
The following table shows the maximum recording times for each recording rate. The 
maximum recording time can be shorter, if you record a large number of short exercises.
