2. MEASURING DAILY ACTIVITY

Daily Activity

According to ACSM (American College of Sports Medicine), children and youth should do one hour or more

of physical activity daily. Activity should be mostly aerobic, moderate to vigorous, physical activity but

should also include muscle-strenghtening and bone-strengthening activities.

The health benefits of an active lifestyle are, for instance, better cardiovascular condition and blood

pressure control, and improved glucose tolerance and bone health. Increased physical activity also helps

control weight and promote psychological well-being. Studies show that more active children report higher

levels of self-esteem, happiness, and life satisfaction and lower levels of anxiety, depression, stress, and

peer victimization.

Some authorities recommend that sedentary activities, for instance, television watching, surfing the

internet, playing video games, should be limited to two hours per day.

Sleep is important to children’s health, development and well-being. Children aged 5-11 need 10-11

hours of sleep and children and adolescents aged 12 or over need 8-9.5 hours. Poor or inadequate sleep

can lead to mood swings, behavioral problems such as hyperactivity, and cognitive problems that impact

on children’s ability to learn in school.

Measuring Daily Activity with Polar Active

Polar Active measures your daily activity automatically 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You only need to

wear the activity monitor on your wrist and go. When worn at night time, the activity monitor measures

also your sleeping time.

Activity Zones and Activity Bar

There are five different activity zones in the Polar Active: vigorous+, vigorous, moderate, easy, and very

easy. The activity bar displays achieved time in the moderate to vigorous+ zones. This helps you to

easily check when the daily activity target is fulfilled.

Activity in the other activity zones is visible in the activity diary. Sleeping time can be seen only in the

polargofit.com web service.

In the chart below you can see the recommendations and benefits of being active in different zones:

In the time view, the activity bar quickly shows you how active you have been.

The moment you reach your activity target, Active time: 60 minutes / 1 h 30

min. / 2 hours. Well done! is displayed.

After you have been active for two hours, Polar Active rewards you with a nice blinking animation that is visible in

the time view. The animation is visible once a minute until the next day.

get a message Diary memory full in x days when the activity diary is getting full.

5. IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Caring for Your Activity Monitor

Clean with a mild soap and water solution, dry with towel. Do not press buttons under water. Never use

alcohol or any abrasive material (steel wool or cleaning chemicals). Keep in a cool and dry place. Do not

store in a damp environment, in non-breathable material such as a plastic bag or a sports bag. Do not

expose to direct sunlight for extended periods.

Polar Active can be sanitized with a suitable disinfectant according to the manufacturers instructions.

Service

During the one-year guarantee/warranty period we recommend that you have service done by an authorized

Polar Service Center only. The warranty does not cover damage or consequential damage caused by service

not authorized by Polar Electro.

Changing the Battery

Avoid opening the sealed battery cover during the guarantee period. We recommend that you have the

battery replaced by an authorized Polar Service Center. They test your Polar Active for water resistance

after battery replacement and make a full periodic check.

Please note the following:

• The low battery indicator is displayed when 10-15% of the battery capacity is left.

• In cold conditions, the low battery indicator may appear, but will disappear when the temperature rises.

• The sound is automatically turned off when the low battery indicator is displayed.

• Keep the batteries away from children. If swallowed, contact a doctor immediately.

• Batteries should be disposed of properly according to local regulations.

• 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 may decrease the

capacity and thus the lifetime of the battery.

• Change the sealing ring of the battery cover every time you change the battery. 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 only.

To change the battery yourself:

1. Open the battery cover with a coin by turning it from CLOSE to OPEN.

2. Remove the battery cover and lift the battery out carefully with a suitable sized small rigid stick or bar.

However, prefer a non-metal tool for wrenching the battery out. Be careful not to damage the metal sound

element (*) or the grooves.

3. Insert a new battery inside the cover with the positive (+) side facing the cover.

4. Replace the old sealing ring with a new one, fitting it snuggly in the cover groove to ensure water

resistance.
