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, distance and
location data, as well as track information to a
compatible Polar product, which records and
displays the data.

Polar G3 is resilient and water resistant - you
can depend on its performance regardless where
you train!

Wearing Polar G3 Sensor

1. 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 "POLAR" logo is in an
upright position.

Turning Polar G3 Sensor On/Off

To best catch satellite signals, go outdoors and
away from tall buildings and trees. Press the
button shortly to turn the sensor on. A flashing
light indicates the power mode (low/full). Then
a red light will flash as the sensor searches for
satellite signals (Picture 5 a). In good
conditions, acquiring satellite signals for the
first time typically takes 30-60 seconds. The
sensor will find the signals faster if you keep
the sensor immobile during the search. A green
light will then flash when the signals are found
and location is determined. Your Polar G3
sensor is now ready for action.

To turn the sensor off, press the button for one
second. The power switches off automatically if
the sensor cannot locate satellite signals or the
sensor location does not change for 15 minutes.

For instructions on how speed and distance data
are displayed on your Polar product, please see
the corresponding user manual.
