4 Introduction
2. THE ALL-IN-ONE TRAINING SYSTEM
Training Computer Parts
With an integrated GPS unit, the Polar RC3 GPS training computer provides the
following data in all outdoor sports using Global Positioning System (GPS) technology:
• speed
• distance
• altitude
• ascent
• descent
• route information (at polarpersonaltrainer.com web service)
There are at least 24 active GPS satellites orbiting around the earth. The signals that
GPS satellites transmit to the earth indicate the location of the satellites. The training
computer receives the signals and determines your location by measuring the
distance between itself and the satellites.
The training computer combines the signals from at least four satellites to get a
reliable speed, distance and location reading. To calculate the altitude, the training
computer requires a minimum of six satellite signals.

Available Accessories
With the help of Polar accessories, you can enhance your training experience and achieve a more complete
understanding of your performance.
The RC3 GPS training computer is compatible with Polar H2 and H3 heart rate
sensors. The comfortable heart rate sensor detects your heart rate accurately from
the heart's electrical signals and sends the data to the training computer in real
time.
The heart rate sensor consists of a connector and a strap.
If you bought a set which does not include a heart rate sensor, turn it off in
settings for the Sport Profiles. For instructions, see Sport Profile
Settings (page 31).
Optional Polar s3+ stride sensor* helps you to improve your running technique. It
wirelessly measures speed/pace, distance, running cadence, running index and stride
length, whether you train indoors or out.
Optional Polar CS cadence sensor W.I.N.D.wirelessly measures cycling cadence,
i.e. your real-time and average pedaling rate as revolutions per minute.
Optional Polar CS speed sensor W.I.N.D.* wirelessly measures cycling distance
and your real-time, average and maximum speeds/paces.
6 The All-in-one Training System
ENGLISH
Data from all compatible sensors is sent wirelessly to the training computer over the 2.4 GHz W.I.N.D.
technology, proprietary to Polar. This eliminates interference during training.
*When using the training computer with s3+ stride sensor or CS speed sensor W.I.N.D., the training
computer retrieves speed and distance data from the sensor and the GPS will only be used for location

2. Plug the USB connector into the computer USB port. It is
recommended not to use USB hubs because a USB hub may not
supply enough power for the training computer.
Use a USB 2.0 compliant USB A-to-micro B cable included in the set
package. If you charge from a USB hub, for example, the charging time
might be prolonged.
If you use an AC adapter, make sure that the adapter is marked with
"output 5Vdc 0.5A - 2A max". Only use an AC adapter which is
adequately safety approved (marked with "LPS", "Limited Power
Supply" or "UL listed").
3. The charging animation appears on the display.
When you plug in the training computer for the first time, Windows
searches for drivers automatically. Wait for the driver search to
complete (it takes about one minute). Alternatively you can skip the
search. The charging animation / data transfer is disabled during the
search.
The battery will be 70-80% full after one hour of charging (if the
battery was low). Charging the battery fully takes up to one hour and a
half.
4. When the training computer is fully charged, Charging complete is
displayed. Disconnect the cable.
When you plug the micro USB connector into the USB port of the training computer, be careful not to
scratch the sealing surfaces of the back case. If sealing surface has deep scratches, it will cause loss of
IPx7 grade waterproof level.

ENGLISH
*Optional sensors include Polar s3+ stride sensor, Polar CS speed sensor W.I.N.D. or Polar CS cadence
sensor W.I.N.D.
Train with Polar ZoneOptimizer
The ZoneOptimizer function determines your personalized sport zones (heart rate zones) for your aerobic
training session. It measures your heart rate variability during the warm-up and determines your personal
sport zones. For more information, see Polar ZoneOptimizer (page 45).
To use the ZoneOptimizer function in your training, set in on by selecting MENU > Settings > Heart rate
settings > ZoneOptimizer > On .
The ZoneOptimizer function defines the personalized target heart rate zones for you in the beginning of
every training session. If there is less than an hour since your last ZoneOptimizer definition, the given
target heart rate zones are not necessarily valid, because you may have not recovered from previous
training, and during instant recovery, heart rate variability returns to normal state slower than heart rate.
Start Training Session with Polar ZoneOptimizer
Before ZoneOptimizer determination, make sure that you have the Polar default sport zone heart rate
limits in use i.e. you have not modified the heart rate limits manually. If you want to modify the Sport
Zone heart rate limits manually, set the ZoneOptimizer function off.
To set the ZoneOptimizer function on, select MENU > Settings > Heart rate settings > ZoneOptimizer > On.
The ZoneOptimizer determination will start in the background already when you are in pre-training mode.
When you see the ECG-curve on the top right hand corner on the display, you will know that the heart rate
measurement and ZoneOptimizer are on.
1. To start the training session with ZoneOptimizer press OK.
The display will show the sport used in the previous training session
and the count down timer will start running in the background as soon
as the heart rate has reached 70 beats per minute. An ECG-curve will
appear in the top right had corner of the display.
Select the sport profile you want to use for your training session with
UP/DOWN and press OK to start training.
2. Keep your heart rate between 70 and 100 beats per minute for two
minutes.
This can be achieved by standing or with very light training intensity,
for example, walking slowly.
The alarm will sound, when the first part of the determination is
finished.
3. The second part of the determination will start when your heart rate
has risen above 100 beats per minute.
Continue training at light intensity. Increase heart rate gradually, and
keep it between 100 – 130 bpm for two minutes.
This can be achieved, for example, by walking briskly, or by
cycling/jogging at low intensity during warm up.
If you have a very low HR
, the training computer will give you special limits.
max
The alarm will sound when the second part of the ZoneOptimizer determination is
finished.
16 Training
The ZoneOptimizer determination may already finish here, if the heart rate
variation limit is reached .
4. The third part of the determination will start when your heart rate has
risen above 130 beats per minute.
Gradually increase your heart rate above 130 bpm and keep it there.
The ZoneOptimizer determination will be finalized when the heart rate
has been above 130 beats per minute for more than half a minute.
The alarm will sound, when the third and final part of the
determination is finished.
5. After the determination is finished, the training computer displays one
of the following:
• Default sport zones (heart rate zones) in use. The determination was
not successful. The Polar sport zone (heart rate) limits will be used.
• Sport zones optimized. Heart rate zones on higher level. The limits
have been raised compared to your average ZoneOptimizer limits.
• Sport zones optimized. Heart rate zones on normal level. The limits
have been raised or lowered only slightly compared to your average
ZoneOptimizer limits.
• Sport zones optimized. Heart rate zones on lower level. The limits
have been lowered compared to your average ZoneOptimizer limits.
6. After you have received and read the feedback, press any button,
except LIGHT, to exit the message display and continue your training
session.

retrieves speed and distance data from the sensor. If the GPS function is on, it will only be used for location and
route tracking.
If the altitude reading is --, the training computer has not found enough GPS satellite signals. To calculate the
altitude, the training computer requires a minimum of six satellite signals. Something in your surroundings may
be blocking satellite signal reception (e.g. underpasses, tall buildings, terrain or forested areas).
