Do not move your arm during the search. Keep still | Polar RC3 GPS

ENGLISH

4.The training computer searches the GPS satellite signals / sensor signals

2.To catch the GPS satellite signals, go outdoors and away from tall buildings and trees.

Wear the training computer with the face upwards on your wrist. Keep the training computer in a horizontal position in front of you and away from your chest (see the image below). Keep your arm stationary and raised above the level of your chest during the search.

Do not move your arm during the search. Keep still!

Stand still and hold the position until the training computer has found the satellite signals (an alarm sounds and a check mark appears on the arm of the figure once the signal is found).

In good conditions, finding the satellite signals for the first time typically takes 30-60 seconds.

3.The check mark indicates that the signal is found. In this image, the training computer has found the heart rate sensor signal and the GPS signal. The training computer determines your location and marks the location as your starting point.

The Back to Starting Point (page 22) feature requires accurate starting point information in order to function properly.

If the training computer does not find a sensor signal, the display shows a triangle with an exclamation mark.

5.Start recording the training session

1.Once the training computer has found all the signals, press START . Recording started is displayed and you can start training.

During training recording you can change the training view by browsing with UP/DOWN. To change settings without stopping the training recording, press and hold LIGHT to enter QUICK MENU. For more information, see Quick Menu (page 33).

Before you start recording a training session, make sure that the training computer has found the GPS satellites signals / sensor signals. This ensures that

•you get the speed/pace and distance data from the beginning of the training session.

•the training computer has defined your starting point (only if you have set the GPS function on). The Back to Starting Point (page 22) feature requires accurate starting point information in order to function properly.
