5. USING THE G5 GPS SENSOR

For complete instructions on using the
Polar G5 GPS sensor, download the user
manual at www.polar.com/support.

Using Polar G5

1.

To turn G5 on, press the power key for
one second and release. Both LEDs
flash twice in green to indicate the
activation.

2.

The GPS signal LED flashes in red as
G5 searches for satellite signals. To
catch satellite signals, go outdoors
and away from tall buildings and
trees. In good conditions, acquiring
satellite signals for the first time
typically takes 30-60 seconds. G5
finds the signals faster if you keep it
immobile during the search.

3.

The GPS signal LED flashes in green
when the signals are found and your
location is determined. Your G5 is now
ready for action.

4.

To turn G5 off, press the power key for
one second. The power switches off
automatically if G5 cannot locate
satellite signals or the location does
not change for 60 minutes.
