1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
ENGLISH Congratulations! You are now the proud owner of a Polar G1 GPS sensor. Polar G1 provides speed and distance data in all outdoor sports using Global Positioning System (GPS) technology. The Polar G1 sensor determines your location by measuring continuously the distance between itself and at least four satellites. The sensor uses wireless transmission technology to transmit speed and distance data to a compatible Polar product which records and displays the data.
ENGLISH Wearing Polar G1 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 G1 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 battery indicator led flashes four times; the green led indicating full power mode activation or the red led 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.

To avoid erratic readings, move away from possible sources of disturbance. • To avoid crosstalk from another person with a Polar G1 GPS Sensor, keep a distance of at least 2 meters/6’7” between the sensors. • In low speeds (below 3km/hour), accuracy decreases causing variation in speed values. • If the button does not react, remove the battery to reset the sensor. If this does not work, the battery may be empty.
