• Keep the sensor and the armband in a cool and dry
place. Do not store wet in non-breathing material,
such as a sports bag. Do not expose to direct sunlight
for extended periods.
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 G1 Sensor in Water
Polar G1 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.
• Strong electromagnetic signals can cause erratic
readings. Electromagnetic disturbances may occur
near high-voltage power lines, traffic lights, overhead
lines of electric railways, electric bus lines or trams,
televisions, car motors, bike computers, some motor
driven training equipment, cellular phones, or at
electric security gates. 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.
