1. ENGLISH Congratulations You are now the proud owner of a Polar G3 GPS sensor Polar G3 provides speed and distance data in all outdoor sports using Global Positioning System GPS technology The Polar G3 sensor determines your location by measuring the distance between itself and at least four satellites The sensor uses Polar W I N D 2 4 GHz wireless transmission technology to transmit speed and distance data to a compatible Polar product like the RS800 which records and displays the data Polar G3 is resilient and water resistant you can depend on its performance regardless where you train Using Polar G3 Sensor Inserting Battery 1 See picture 1 on the front cover Open the battery cover by turning it counterclockwise with a coin 2 Place the battery inside with the positive side facing the cover 3 Close the cover by turning it clockwise with acoin Wearing Polar G3 Sensor fer Push to open the clip Picture 2 2 Thread the armband loosely through the loops on the clip and fasten Picture 3 You can fasten the sensor on a belt or on the top of a backpack without the armband 3 Position the armband round your upper arm and fasten Picture 4 Place the sensor and the Polar product on the same arm Make sure that the GPS sensor text and symbol are facing upwards and away from you ENGLISH Turning Polar G3 Sensor On Off To best catch satellite signals go outdoors and away from tall buildi2. not expose to direct sunlight for extended periods ENGLISH Service During the warranty period service the product at an authorized Polar Service Center only The warranty does not cover damage caused by unauthorized service See Limited International Polar Guarantee Using the G3 Sensor in Water Polar G3 sensor is water resistant It can be safely worn in the rain or while crossing rivers or canoeing The GPS reception system does not function under water Troubleshooting If speed or distance readings are irregular or show zero something in your surroundings may be blocking satellite signal reception e g a building or terrain If the sensor cannot locate the satellite signals it will not be able to calculate its location Speed values may therefore show zero Distance is measured between the last location before the shadow area and the first location after the shadow area in a straight line i e curves are not counted In low speeds below 3km hour accuracy decreases causing variation in speed values If the button does not react press it for ten green light flashes to reset the sensor The red light flashes twice on both sides when the sensor resets If this does not work the battery may be empty ENGLISH Technical Specifications Transfer frequency 2 4 GHz Battery type One AA sized battery Battery life in full Average 10 hours of use 20 C power mode 68 F Operating 20 C to 60 C
