The led is located next to the R of the Polar logo. When the transmitter is inserted correctly into the charger the red led is on for 5 seconds. At the same time you can hear a short sound. It is important that the USB dongle is introduced to the system during Wizard. The dongle doesn't work later on if this part has been skipped in the beginning. For instructions of what to do, if the USB dongle is not introduced to the system during Wizard, see How to introduce USB dongle. Do not install the USB dongle drivers from the included CD! The USB dongle works with the Team2 only if the drivers are not installed. If you have installed the drivers, follow the instructions in the troubleshooting chapter. Team (Step 2) The second step asks you to create the first team and fill in team information. It is also possible to import team data from a previous Polar software by clicking the link at the bottom of the window. Compatible data can be imported from the Polar Precision Performance and Polar ProTrainer software. 1. Type the team name into the Name field. The default name is My Team. 2. Add the team logo (in *.jpg format) by clicking Click here to add a logo text. This is an optional feature. 3. Type team details into the Team Details field. This is an optional feature. Continue to the next step by clicking Next. NOTE: The added logo can be removed by clicking Remove logo at the bottom of the Wizard window. When team data is imported from the previous Polar software, all team data (including player information) is imported to the system. Quick Guide Sport Zones (Step 3) The third step asks to specify your team's sport zones. Sport zones specify how training is divided into different intensity zones. You can either use the default settings or modify the sport zones to fit the team's training. Sport zones can be based on one of three different calculation methods. Wizard offers two of them to choose from, the player's maximum heart rate (% of HRmax) and the player's threshold values. A third option is the player's heart rate reserve (% of HRR) which can be taken into use, in preferences, after Wizard is completed. 1. Select the calculation method that you want the sport zones to be based on. 2. The sport zone settings can be changed after the calculation method is selected. Settings are given on the right side of Wizard window. Continue to the next step by clicking Next. Player's maximum heart rate (% of HRmax) When the player's maximum heart rate is selected as the sport zone calculation method, sport zones which the user can determine are specified as a percentage of a player's maximum heart rate. As the zones are based on percentages of a player's own maximum heart rate, they are individual for each player. The same percentages are, however, used for the whole team. Player's threshold values When the player's threshold values are selected as the sport zone calculation method, the sport zones are based on the players' threshold values which are determined in the player settings. Each player has an upper threshold (anaerobic) and a lower threshold (aerobic) value. The coach/trainer can determine how many heart beats the upper threshold zone and the lower threshold zone differ from the players' upper and lower threshold values. The variances are the same for the whole team. The threshold values enable the most individual training analysis. NOTE: Default settings can be restored by clicking the Restore default setting link on the bottom of the window. More sport zones can be added by clicking the Add sport zone link on the bottom of the window. Activities (Step 4) The fourth step asks to define the training activities of your team. You can choose a different color for every activity. This helps you to visualize your team's training calendar. Team2 SW Help There are three different types for activities; intermittent, continuous and strength. The type indicates how exhausting the training activity is. The type you select affects the training load and recovery time calculations. Select the types carefully and the calculations will be more accurate. Training activity examples: Continuous Intermittent Strength Swimming Football Gym Walking Ice hockey BodyPump Skiing Up/Downhill running Roller-skating Rugby Running Alpine skiing 1. Fill in your team's training activities and select their types from the drop-down menu. 2. Select a color for each activity by clicking the color box at the end of each training activity line. If each training activity or test has its own individual color, it is easier for you to visualize your team's training calendar. Activities are shown in the calendar as color boxes. Continue to the next step by clicking Next. NOTE: Training activities can be modified after Wizard is completed. Training activities can be added by clicking Add training activity link at the bottom of the window. Training activities can be added at any time after completing Wizard. Training activities can be removed by clicking Remove link at the end of the training activity line. Players (Step 5) 10 Quick Guide The fifth step asks you to fill in your players' information. You can also import players' information from previous Polar software by clicking the link on the bottom of the window. Player information is imported one player at a time. Compatible data can be imported from the Polar Precision Performance and Polar ProTrainer software. 1. Fill in the name and other information of the first player. 2. Click the Add player link below the player list. 3. Fill in the name and other information of the second player. 4. Continue repeating steps 2 and 3 until you have added all the players you wish to add. Continue to the next step by clicking Next. NOTE: Physiological values are calculated automatically when the date of birth is selected. Automatic values can be modified. A player can be removed from the player list. Click on the player you want to remove and then click the Remove link on the bottom of the wizard window. Hardware (Step 6) To make sure that the Team2 hardware is plugged in correctly, do the following. 1. Check that you have connected your base station to the PC with the network cable and that lights 1 and 2 are lit on the base station. 11 Team2 SW Help 2.

Choose a wireless network key, i.e. Wi-Fi password, and type it into the Wireless network key input field. 12 Quick Guide 4. If you have not plugged in the USB dongle, do it now. Wait for a couple of seconds and click the Search link below the picture of USB dongle. Continue to the next step by clicking Next. NOTE: Follow the instructions on the screen when selecting the wireless network key. Do not install the USB dongle drivers from the included CD! The USB dongle works with the Team2 only if the drivers are not installed. If you have installed the drivers, follow the instructions in the troubleshooting chapter. Transmitters (Step 7) Wizard starts to search for the transmitters. If the search doesn't start, click Search. Make sure the power cable has been plugged into the charger and the transmitters are inserted into the charger correctly. 13 Team2 SW Help Wait until the search is done. After the search, Wizard tells you how many of the 10 transmitters it has found. If Wizard didn't find all the transmitters, make sure that they are inserted correctly. The correct way is to leave the tip with led light on the outside. A short sound will be heard when a transmitter is inserted into the charger correctly. There will be a light blinking on the transmitters that are inserted correctly. Click Search to start the search again. When Wizard has found all 10 transmitters, select a player for each transmitter from the drop-down menu. Transmitters are identified by the number label. When a transmitter is assigned, letter X is added after the player's name. Continue to the next step by clicking Next. NOTE: More transmitters can be added after Wizard is completed. For more information, see How to add transmitters. If a transmitter was not found during Wizard after a couple of tries, you can add it to the system using Add New Transmitters feature. For more information, see How to add transmitters. Transmitter-player connections can be modified after Wizard is completed. For more information, see How to assign transmitter to player. Completed (Step 8) Installation is now complete. Polar Team2 is now initialized and ready for use. End Wizard by clicking the Finish button. Care and Maintenance Instructions It is important to follow the care and maintenance instructions to assure the long life of the Team2 hardware. Sweat and moisture can keep the electrodes wet and the transmitter activated, which shortens battery life. Team2 Transmitter Straps 14 Wash the straps in a washing machine at 40 °C (104°F) after every fifth use. Always use the washing pouch (included in the Team2 set). NOTE: Detach the transmitter from the strap before wash! Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Rinse the straps under running lukewarm water after every use. Quick Guide Store the straps in the Team2 bag, in a pocket with vents. Make sure you don’t store straps wet. Transmitters Detach the transmitters from the straps and store separately. Rinse the transmitters under running lukewarm water after every use. Do not insert wet transmitters into the charger. Store transmitters in the charger. When the transmitters are not in daily use or are stored for a longer period of time, recharge the transmitters regularly to prevent a complete exhaustion of the battery in the transmitter. Charger and Base Station Wipe the base station and the charger with a moist cloth regularly. 15 HARDWARE Hardware Polar Team2 includes the following hardware: Base station Charger 10 transmitters and straps USB dongle Extra transmitters and Team2 transmitter straps and additional base stations can be purchased separately. There is also a charger included in the transmitter kit. Base Station The base station is the device that connects the transmitters with your PC or PDA. There can be up to three base stations in a Team2 system. The number of transmitters online is determined based on the number of base stations: one (main) base station: up to 28 transmitters/players online two base stations (main + one secondary base stations): up to 56 transmitters/players online three base stations (main + two secondary base stations): up to 84 transmitters/players online The main station does not differ from the secondary base stations on the hardware level. The first base station you connect/introduce to the system becomes the main base station. If you are using more than one base station in the Team2 system, only the main base station is connected to the PC (either wireless or wired connection). The secondary base stations (one or two) are connected to the main base station wirelessly and automatically after switching on.

During charging the legs of the base station must be used because the bottom heats up. The bottom of the base station heats up to 60°C (140°F). During charging, the maximum operating temperature is 45°C (113°F). It is recommended that the base station is placed 2 meters (6.5 ft) above the ground to optimize the signal. Check the range of the signal if the base station is surrounded by metal. Wall mount and legs included. The sockets that are provided in the wall mounting kit are meant for concrete surfaces. Charger 20 Hardware Charger is used to re-charge the batteries of the transmitters. The charger can be used only indoors. Data transfer (transmitter settings, memory contents) between the transmitters and the PC is enabled only when the transmitters are inserted into the charger. To transmit data between transmitters and PC, follow these instructions: 1. Turn on your PC and open Team2 software. 2. Connect the base station to PC according to the instructions. 3. Plug the power cable into the charger. 4. Insert transmitters into the charger. Wait until (3) is lit in the base station. If the transmitter is inserted correctly into the charger, you hear one short sound and red led is on for 5 seconds. Software's toolbar shows in the upper right corner how many transmitters are connected to the base station/USB dongle. Facts Up to 10 transmitters can be inserted into the charger at a time. The transmitters are inserted into the charger in such a way that the led light is left on the outside. The led is located next to the Polar Team2 logo's letter R. Not water-resistant, for indoor use only. AC adapter included. There are four different plugs for the AC adapter included. Choose the correct plug (according to the country) and place it into the adapter. 21 Team2 SW Help Wall mount included. Transmitters and Straps Transmitter records heart rate data and transmits it to the PC using Bluetooth. During training the heart rate data can also be monitored with a Polar wrist unit. During the training transmitter is attached to the Team2 transmitter strap and the strap is secured around player's chest. NOTE: Two electrode areas on the back of Team2 transmitter strap must be made wet under running water before use. After training (or after the transmitter have been in off-season use) the data is transferred from the transmitters to the PC. The transmitters must be inserted into the charger during the data transfer. Facts 22 Re-chargeable battery, Polar magnetic communication technology transmitter and built-in Bluetooth. Battery lasts up to 250 hours (in online mode for 30 hours). Re-charge takes 24 hours. Transmitter memory can record 48 hours of data in online mode and up to 360 hours of data in off-season mode. Training sessions shorter than 30 seconds are not recorded into the transmitter's memory. Bluetooth range is 100 meters (330 ft). Transmitter is water-resistant. Hardware When the transmitter is inserted into the charger, the data transfer from the transmitters to the PC is enabled. Transmitter settings can be changed when the transmitters are in the charger. The transmitter is in the sleep mode if it's not inserted into charger or attached to the strap. If the data transmission ceases in the online mode, the transmitter searches for a new connection automatically. For example, the following Polar training computers can be used with Team2 transmitter: RS400, RS300X, AXN500 and AXN700. Full list of compatible training computers can be found at Polar website. Strap works only with Team2 transmitters. See also Non-secured transmitter mode. For more information, see also How to use transmitters. Online and Off-Season Modes Transmitter can be used in two different modes, Online and Off-season. HR data can be monitored in both modes with a Polar wrist unit. Online mode is used when training is monitored online using the base station. At that time, the transmitter transfers heart rate data to the PC via the base station in addition to recording it. In Online mode the battery lasts up to 30 hours. Off-season mode can be used when training is not monitored online, e.g., during independent training season. At the time, in order to save battery, the transmitter is not trying to send data to PC but only records it. In this mode the battery can last up to 250 hours. Data can be transferred to the PC afterwards. The mode can be changed in two places: Team properties: Options > Team properties > Players tab > Transmitter tab Polar Team2 Preferences: Tools > Preferences > Transmitters tab. More information about transmitter settings, see the software chapter. Bluetooth USB Adapter (USB Dongle) 23 Team2 SW Help The USB dongle is plugged into the PC's USB port, and it can replace the base station when data is transferred (transmitter settings, memory contents) between the transmitters and the PC. Data can be transferred between the transmitters and PC via the USB dongle when the transmitters are inserted into the charger. Online monitoring cannot be performed via the USB dongle. The USB dongle has to be introduced to the system during wizard (or separately); otherwise it won't work properly. Facts Built-in Bluetooth. Do not install the USB dongle drivers from the included CD! The USB dongle works with the Team2 only if the drivers are not installed. If you have installed the drivers, follow the instructions in the troubleshooting chapter. NOTE that in order the USB dongle to work properly, the discovery feature must be turned on in the Windows settings. Non-secured transmitter mode Transmitters can be either in secured or non-secured mode. Basically these modes mean that: in secured mode the transmitter is hidden from Bluetooth devices that do not know it exists, and in non-secured mode the transmitter is visible for all Bluetooth devices. How to recognize: The transmitter is in secured mode if only one short sound is heard when it is inserted into the charger. The transmitter is in non-secured mode if three short sounds are heard when the transmitter is inserted into the charger. See Lights and sounds. How to change: 24 Hardware By default, when a transmitter is inserted into the charger it goes into secured mode. Change the transmitter's mode to non-secured by removing the transmitter from the charger and inserting it back within 3 seconds while the charger is powered on. If you have several transmitters that you want to put into non-secured mode, the easier way is to insert all the transmitters into the charger and then un-plug and re-plug the power cord within 3 seconds. Usage: Normally the transmitters are always in secured mode. The non-secured mode is used only when: the base station combination has been changed and the transmitters must be synchronized with the new combination, or the transmitter has been previously paired with a base station and is now paired with another. How to... How to Connect Base Station to PC The main base station can be connected to the PC with either a Ethernet cable or wireless connection. When Team2 is taken into use for the first time, the base station must be connected to the PC with the Ethernet cable. The first base station you connect/introduce to the system becomes the main base station. If you are using more than one base station in the Team2 system, only the main base station is connected to the PC (either wireless or wired connection). The secondary base stations (one or two) are connected to the main base station wirelessly and automatically after switching on. Light (4) lights up on main base station when at least one secondary base station is connected to the main base station. To connect the main base station to the PC 1.

Sport Zones 47 Team2 SW Help The second tab is for Sport Zones. Calculation method, which the sport zones are based on, can be changed by clicking the selected radio button. The options are Player's maximum heart rate, Player's heart rate reserve and Player's threshold values. Sport zone details (name, values) can be also change after the selection of calculation method. To add sport zone click Add sport zone button and type in the name and select values. NOTE that when player's threshold values is selected, you cannot add more sport zones. Player's maximum heart rate (% of HRmax) When the player's maximum heart rate is selected as the sport zone calculation method, sport zones which the user can determine are specified as a percentage of a player's maximum heart rate. As the zones are based on percentages of a player's own maximum heart rate, they are individual for each player. The same percentages are, however, used for the whole team. Player's heart rate reserve (% of HRR) When a player's heart rate reserve is selected as the sport zone calculation method, the sport zones, which can be determined by the user, are specified as a percentage of a player's heart rate reserve. The heart rate reserve is the difference between a player's resting and maximum heart rate. When the player's heart rate is his/her resting heart rate, the heart rate reserve is 0 %, because the player is not "using" his/her heart rate reserve. Player's threshold values When the player's threshold values are selected as the sport zone calculation method, the sport zones are based on the players' threshold values which are determined in the player settings. Each player has an upper threshold (anaerobic) and a lower threshold (aerobic) value. The coach/trainer can determine how many heart beats the upper threshold zone and the lower threshold zone differ from the players' upper and lower threshold values. The variances are the same for the whole team. The threshold values enable the most individual training analysis. Training Activities The third tab is for Training Activities. Training activities are usually set beforehand during Wizard, but more training activities can be added at any time. The number of training activities is not limited per team. For example, training activities can be Running, Football and Gym. Each training activity has a type (either continuous, intermittent or strength).

Before beginning a regular training program, answer the following questions concerning your health status. If you answer yes to any of these questions, consult a physician before starting any training program. Have you been physically inactive for the past 5 years? Do you have high blood pressure or high blood cholesterol? Do you have symptoms of any disease? Are you taking any blood pressure or heart medication? Do you have a history of breathing problems? Are you recovering from a serious illness or medical treatment? Do you use a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device? Do you smoke? Are you pregnant? Note that in addition to training intensity, medications for heart conditions, blood pressure, psychological conditions, asthma, breathing, etc., as well as some energy drinks, alcohol, and nicotine may also affect heart rate. It is important to be sensitive to your body’s responses during training. If you feel unexpected pain or excessive fatigue when training, stop the exercise or continue at a lighter intensity. If you have a pacemaker, defibrillator or other implanted electronic device, you use the Polar Team2 system at your own risk. Before starting use, take a maximal training stress test under the supervision of a physician. The test is to ensure the safety and reliability of the simultaneous use of the pacemaker and the Polar Team2 system. If you are allergic to any substance that comes into contact with your skin or if you suspect an allergic reaction due to using the product, check the listed materials in Technical Specifications. To avoid any skin reaction to the transmitter, wear it over a shirt. Moisten the shirt well under the electrodes to ensure flawless operation. If you use insect repellent on your skin, make sure that it does not come into contact with the transmitter. Exercise equipment with electronic components may cause interfering stray signals. To tackle these problems, try the following: 1. Remove the transmitter from your chest and use the exercise equipment as you would normally. 155 Team2 SW Help 2. Move the wrist unit around until you find an area in which it displays no stray reading or does not flash the heart symbol. Interference is often worst right in front of the display panel of the equipment, while the left or right side of the display is relatively free of disturbance. 3. Put the transmitter back on your chest and keep the wrist unit in this interference-free area as much as possible. If the Polar Team2 system still does not work, the piece of equipment may be electrically too noisy for wireless heart rate measurement. Polar Team2 transmitter may not be worn when swimming.

During charging the legs of the base station must be used because the bottom heats up. The bottom of the base station heats up to 60°C (140°F). During charging, the maximum operating temperature is 45°C (113°F). AC-Powered Devices These precautions apply to all products that plug into a standard wall power outlet. Failure to take the following precautions can result in serious injury or death from electronic shock or fire or in damage to the device. To Select an Appropriate Power Source For Your Device: Use only the power supply unit and AC power cord that came with your device or that your received from an authorized repair center. AC adapters are only for indoor use. Confirm that your electrical outlet provides the type of power indicated on the power supply unit (in terms of voltage [V] and frequency [Hz]). If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult a qualified electrician. Do not use non-standard power sources, such as generators or inverters,even if the voltage and frequency appear acceptable. Use only AC power provided by a standard wall outlet. Do not overload your wall outlet, extension cord, power strip, or other electrical receptacle. Confirm that they are rated to handle the total current (in amps [A]) drawn by the device (indicated on the power supply unit) and any other devices that are on the same circuit. To Avoid Damaging the Power Cords and Power Supply: Protect the power cords from being walked on. Protect cords from being pinched or sharply bent, particularly where they connect to the power outlet, the power supply unit, and the device. 157 Team2 SW Help Do not jerk, knot, sharply bend, or otherwise abuse the power cords. Do not expose the power cords to sources of heat. Keep children and pets away from the power cords. Do not allow them to bite or chew on them. When disconnecting the power cords, pull on the plug - do not pull on the cord. If a power cord or power supply becomes damaged in any way, stop using it immediately. Unplug your device during lightning stroms or when unused for long periods of time. For devices with an AC power cord that connects to the power supply, always connect the power cord according to the following instructions: 1. Plug the AC power cord into the power supply unit until it stops. 2. Plug the other end of the AC power cord into the wall outlet. Battery-Powered Devices These precautions apply to all products that use rechargeable or disposable batteries. Improper use of batteries may result in battery fluid leakage, overheating, or explosion. Released battery fluid is corrosive and may be toxic. It can cause skin and eye burns, and is harmful if swallowed. Rechargeable Batteries Only: Charge only with the recharger provided with the product.
