4. Starting the G1 GPS Sensor
The G1 sensor uses GPS (Global Positioning System) technology to measure speed and distance in real time. In ideal conditions of use, its precision can reach one meter.
The battery of the G1 has an average of 10h of use. The G1 is waterproof and its solid design makes it resistant to most shocks and scratches.
Use a coin to unscrew and open the metal battery cover. Place the LR6 battery as indi-
The buckle located in the back of the G1 allows you either to wear the G1 on your arm using the strap provided or to fix it on a belt or loop.
Open the G1 buckle and pass the strap through the loop (Velcro on the inside).
Pull in enough strap so your arm can fit through it.
To ensure good detection of the GPS sig- nals, the G1 shouldn’t be covered and should be placed with the Polar logo in an upright position. We also recommend wear- ing it on the same arm as the RS300X re- ceiver.
Press the button 2 seconds to start (or stop) the G1. A green light indicating battery status (B) flashes for a few seconds. Following this, a red light indicating detection status (A) ap- pears and shows that the G1 is searching for GPS signals.
Don’t move. Once the GPS signals have been found (after 1 minute in average), this light (A) turns green.
cated and screw the metal cover back into place.
To ensure a good detection of the GPS signals, the G1 should not be covered or worn under clothes.
Then adjust the size of the strap so the G1 can’t move once placed on your arm.
Your G1 is now ready for use! | Note: The light indicating battery status (B) |
| turns red when the battery is flat . |
