G3 GPS Sensor User Manual
1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
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.
ENGLISH Wearing Polar G3 Sensor 1. 2. 3. Push to open the clip (Picture 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. 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 "POLAR" logo is in an upright position.
ENGLISH Switching Power Mode You can use the Polar G3 sensor in low or full power mode. The default mode is full power mode. By using the low power mode, you can increase battery life by up to 40 %. For maximum accuracy of speed and distance measurement, use full power mode. When the sensor is activated, press the button for five flashes to change modes. A light flashes four times on both sides; the green light indicating full power mode activation or the red light indicating low power mode activation.
ENGLISH Care and Maintenance The following instructions will help you fulfill guarantee obligations. • Wash the armband in a washing machine at 40°C / 104°F. Use a washing pouch. Do not soak, nor use detergent with bleach or fabric softener. Do not dry-clean. Do not spin-dry or iron. • Clean the sensor with a mild soap and water solution. Dry it with a towel. Never use alcohol or abrasive materials (steel wool or cleaning chemicals). Never put the sensor in a washing machine or drier.
ENGLISH 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.
