The Polar training computer is designed to indicate the level of physiological strain and recovery during and after exercise session. It displays performance indicators and environmental conditions such as altitude and temperature. It also measures speed and distance when used with s3/s3+ stride sensor/cycling speed sensor/G3/G5 GPS sensor, running cadence when used with s3/s3+ stride sensor, cycling cadence when used with a cadence sensor, and location data when used with a G3/G5 GPS sensor. No other use is intended or implied.

The Polar training computer should not be used for obtaining environmental measurements that require professional or industrial precision. Furthermore, the device should not be used to obtain measurements when engaged in airborne or underwater activities.

The water resistance of Polar products is tested according to International Standard ISO 2281. Products are divided into three different categories according to their water resistance. Check the back of your Polar product for the water resistance category, and compare it to the chart below. Please note that these definitions do not necessarily apply to products of other manufacturers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if...

...the battery symbol and Battery low is displayed?

The low battery indicator is usually the first sign of an expired battery. However, in cold conditions the low battery indicator may appear. The indicator will disappear as soon as you return to a normal temperature. When the symbol appears, the training computer sounds and backlight are automatically deactivated. For further information on changing the battery, see Care and Maintenance (page 60).
