Care and Maintenance
The following instructions will help you fulfill guarantee
obligations.
• Wash the armband in a washing machine at 40°C /
104°F. Use a washing pouch. Do not soak, nor use
detergent with bleach or fabric softener. Do not
dry-clean. Do not spin-dry or iron.
• Clean the sensor 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 the sensor in a washing machine or drier.
• Keep the sensor and the armband in a cool and dry
place. Do not store wet in non-breathing material,

not cover damage caused by unauthorized service. See
Limited International Polar Guarantee.
Using the G1 Sensor in Water
Polar G1 sensor is water resistant. It can be safely worn
in the rain or while crossing rivers or canoeing. The
GPS reception system does not function under water.
Troubleshooting
• If speed or distance readings are irregular or show
zero, something in your surroundings may be blocking
satellite signal reception (e.g. a building or terrain). If
the sensor cannot locate the satellite signals, it will
not be able to calculate its location. Speed values
may therefore show zero. Distance is measured
between the last location before the shadow area, and
the first location after the shadow area in a straight
line, i.e. curves are not counted.
