Congratulations! You are now a proud owner of a
Polar G5 GPS sensor. G5 provides speed,
distance and location data, as well as route
information in all outdoor sports using Global
Positioning System (GPS) technology.

Signals that GPS satellites transmit to earth,
indicate the location of the satellites. G5
receives the signals and determines your
location by measuring the distance between
itself and the satellites. There are at least 24
active GPS satellites at all times. To get a
reliable location reading, G5 combines the
signals from at least four satellites.

G5 uses 2.4 GHz Polar W.I.N.D. wireless
transmission technology to transmit the data to
a compatible Polar training computer, which
records and displays the data. Depending on the
model of your training computer, the route
information can be viewed on a map either in
the polarpersonaltrainer.com web service or in
Polar ProTrainer 5 software. For instructions on
using G5 with your training computer, see the
user manual for the training computer in
question. For instructions on viewing the route
information on a map, see the software help.

The latest version of this user manual can be
downloaded at www.polar.fi/support.

For a video tutorial, go to
www.polar.fi/en/support/video_tutorials.

Overview of Polar G5
G5 contains the following parts. See picture 1
on the front cover.
• Power key (A)
• GPS signal LED (B) shows GPS signal fix or
   searching
• State of charge LED (C) shows the battery's
   state of charge
• Micro USB port (D)


                                                   1


ENGLISH
Charging the Battery
G5 has an internal, rechargable battery, which
cannot be removed.

Using the USB to micro USB charger cable
that comes with the product set, charge G5 via
a USB connection on your computer. If you
want to plug the USB connector to a wall outlet,
use a USB power adapter.

1.   Plug the micro USB connector into the USB
     port in G5 (picture 2 on the front cover).

2.   Plug the USB connector into a computer
     USB port. It is recommended not to use
     USB hubs because a USB hub may not
     supply enough power for the G5.

3.   The state of charge LED light is static red
     while charging. If the battery is completely
     discharged, it may take some time before
     the light turns on. If the light does not turn
     on, try another USB port on your computer.
     The battery is damaged if the state of
     charge LED flashes in red and green
     instead of being static red when charging
     the battery. Contact an authorized Polar
     Service Center if the battery is damaged.

4.   Charging the battery full takes up to two
     hours. When G5 is fully charged, the LED
     light is static green. Disconnect the charger
     cable.

For further information, see the Battery
Information chapter.

Pairing Polar G5 with Training Computer
G5 must be paired with your training computer
in order to receive speed, distance and location
data. For further information on pairing, see the
user manual of the training computer in
question. Please note that pairing may be
referred to as teaching in the user manual.

                                 ENGLISH
Wearing the Armband
Please follow the pictures on the back cover.

1.   Encase the G5 into the armband pocket,
     the USB port against the bottom of the
     pocket. Check that the LEDs and the power
     key are visible through the window.

2.   Pull the pocket's upper edge over the G5
     (picture 1). G5 is securely positioned when
     the pocket's upper edge covers the top of it
     (picture 2).

3.   Place the G5 and the training computer on
     the same arm. Position the armband around
     your upper arm or forearm and fasten
     (pictures 3 and 4). Make sure that the
     "POLAR" logo on the armband is in an
     upright position.

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 will find
     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 for 60 minutes.


                                                   3


ENGLISH
For instructions on how the data is displayed on
your training computer, please see the
corresponding user manual.

If speed or distance readings are incorrect or
irregular, something in your surroundings may
be blocking satellite signal reception (e.g.
underpasses, tall buildings, terrain or forested
areas). If the sensor cannot locate the satellite
signals, it will not be able to calculate its
location. Distance is measured between the last
location before the shadow area, and the first
location after the shadow area in a straight line.
Note that the GPS reception does not work
indoors.

Battery Information
The state of charge LED (picture 1c) gives an
indication of the charge status of the battery
when G5 is on. These are the values of the LED
light colors:

•   Green: 20-100% of the total charge left.

•   Orange: 5-20% of the total charge left. You
    should recharge the G5 soon.

•   Red: less than 1 hour of the total charge
    left. You should recharge the G5.

•   If no light is visible, the battery is out of
    power and you must recharge the G5 to use
    it.

Recharge G5 as instructed in chapter Charging
the Battery. The battery will be 70-80% full
after one hour of charging. Charging the battery
fully takes up to two hours.

Rechargeable batteries have a limited number
of charge cycles. You can charge and discharge
the battery over 300 times before a notable
decrease in it's capacity. The number of charge
cycles also vary by use and operating
conditions.

                                  ENGLISH
The operating time varies depending on
operating conditions (e.g. high or low
temperatures) and battery aging. The operating
time is 22 hours in continuous use. When G5 is
unused, the operating time reduces
approximately 1,5 hours per week. Therefore, it
is recommended to recharge G5 after being
unused for a longer period. The operating time
is significantly reduced in temperatures well
below freezing; wearing G5 under your overcoat
helps to keep G5 warmer and to increase the
operating time.

      This device contains a rechargeable battery.
      Polar encourages you to minimize possible
      effects of waste on the environment and
      human health by following local waste
      disposal regulations and, where possible,
      utilizing separate collection of electronic
      devices at the end of the working life of the
      product. Do not dispose of this product as
      unsorted municipal waste.

Care and Maintenance
Like any electronic device, G5 should be treated
with care. The suggestions below will help you
fulfill guarantee obligations and enjoy this
product for many years to come.
• Clean G5 with a mild soap and water
    solution. Dry it with a towel. Never use
    alcohol or abrasive materials (steel wool or
    cleaning chemicals). Never put G5 in a
    washing machine or drier.
• Due to the textile nature of the armband, its
    life time may not reach the life time of G5.
    Follow the instructions carefully to maximize
    the life time. Wash the armband only when
    necessary. Hand wash only. Do not use
    detergent with bleach or fabric softener. Do
    not dry-clean. Do not spin-dry or iron.
• Take G5 out of the armband after use. Keep
    G5 and the armband in a cool and dry place.
    Do not store wet in non-breathing material,

                                                      5


ENGLISH
    such as a sports bag. Do not expose to direct
    sunlight for extended periods.


      Parts of G5 are magnetic. It may attract
      metallic materials and it's magnetic field
      may interfere with a compass. To avoid
      interference, it is recommended to wear your
      compass on one arm and your G5 with the
      training computer on the other arm. Do not
      place credit cards or other magnetic storage
      media near G5, because information stored on
      them may be erased.

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.
