An adult's resting heart rate is between 60 and 100 beats per minute.

What is an adult's maximum heart rate?

As a rule of thumb for your maximum heart rate, you can use 220 minus your age.

How do I know if the Polar G1 Sensor is properly connected to my Polar training computer?

To ensure that the Polar G1 Sensor is properly connected to your Polar training computer, follow these steps: 1. Insert the Battery: Open the battery cover on the sensor by turning it counterclockwise with a coin. Place the battery inside with the positive (+) side facing the battery cover. Close the battery cover by turning it clockwise with a coin. 2. Wear the Sensor: If you are using the armband, push to open the clip and thread the armband loosely through the loops on the clip. Fasten the armband around your upper arm, making sure that the "POLAR" logo is in an upright position. Alternatively, you can fasten the sensor on a belt or on the top of a backpack without the armband. 3. Activate the Sensor: On your Polar training computer, navigate to the Settings menu and select Training settings. Then, choose Speed sensor and GPS sensor. Follow the instructions provided in the user manual of your training computer to complete the activation process. 4. Check for Signal: To ensure a proper connection, go outdoors and away from tall buildings and trees. Press the button on the sensor shortly to turn it on. The sensor will search for satellite signals, indicated by a flashing red satellite indicator LED. Once the signals are found and the location is determined, a green LED will start flashing. By following these steps, you can ensure that the Polar G1 Sensor is properly connected to your Polar training computer for accurate speed and distance data during your workouts.

Why is my Polar G1 Sensor not activating when I try to use it with my training computer?

If your Polar G1 Sensor is not activating when you try to use it with your training computer, follow these steps to troubleshoot the issue: 1. Check the Battery: Ensure that the battery in the sensor is properly inserted and has enough power. If the battery is low, replace it with a new one. 2. Wear the Sensor Correctly: If you are using the armband, make sure that you have properly fastened it around your upper arm. Ensure that the "POLAR" logo on the sensor is in an upright position. If you are not using the armband, make sure that the sensor is securely fastened on a belt or on the top of a backpack. 3. Go Outdoors: To get the best satellite signal reception, go outdoors and move away from tall buildings and trees. This will help the sensor locate satellite signals more effectively. 4. Press the Button: Press the button on the sensor shortly to turn it on. Watch for the battery indicator LED to show the power mode (low/full). Then, the red satellite indicator LED will start flashing as the sensor searches for satellite signals. Keep the sensor immobile during the search to help it find the signals faster. Once the signals are found and the location is determined, a green LED will start flashing. 5. Turn Off the Sensor: If the sensor cannot locate satellite signals or the sensor location does not change for 15 minutes, press the button for one second to turn off the sensor. The power will also switch off automatically in these situations. By following these steps, you can troubleshoot why your Polar G1 Sensor is not activating and ensure that it is ready for use with your training computer.

What should I do if I'm getting erratic readings from my Polar G1 Sensor?

If you are getting erratic readings from your Polar G1 Sensor, you can try the following steps to troubleshoot the issue: 1. Check for Possible Sources of Disturbance: Move away from possible sources of disturbance, such as electric security gates, high-voltage power lines, traffic lights, or overhead lines of electric railways. These sources can cause electromagnetic disturbances and affect the sensor's readings. 2. Maintain Distance from Other Sensors: If there is another person with a Polar G1 GPS Sensor nearby, keep a distance of at least 2 meters (6'7") between the sensors. This will help avoid crosstalk and interference between the sensors. 3. Ensure Sufficient Speed: In low speeds below 3 km/hour, the accuracy of the sensor decreases, which can cause variation in speed values. Make sure you are moving at a speed above this threshold for more accurate readings. 4. Reset the Sensor: If the sensor is not responding or providing accurate readings, you can try removing the battery to reset the sensor. If this does not resolve the issue, the battery may need to be replaced. By following these steps, you can troubleshoot erratic readings from your Polar G1 Sensor and improve the accuracy of your speed and distance measurements.

What is the average battery life of the Polar G1 Sensor and how can I extend it?

The average battery life of the Polar G1 Sensor is approximately 10 hours of use at 20 °C (68 ºF). However, the actual battery life may vary depending on factors such as the battery type and the operating temperature. To extend the battery life of your Polar G1 Sensor, you can follow these steps: 1. Use High-Quality Batteries: Ensure that you are using high-quality batteries that are compatible with the Polar G1 Sensor. Using reputable brands can help optimize the battery performance. 2. Remove the Battery When Not in Use: If you are not planning to use the sensor for an extended period, it is recommended to remove the battery. This helps prevent any potential battery drain when the sensor is not in use. 3. Store the Sensor in Optimal Conditions: When not in use, store the sensor in a cool and dry place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity, as these conditions can affect the battery life. 4. Turn Off the Sensor: To conserve battery power, remember to turn off the sensor when you are not using it. This can be done by pressing and holding the button for a few seconds until the LED indicator turns off. By following these steps, you can maximize the battery life of your Polar G1 Sensor and ensure that it lasts longer between battery replacements.

Can I use the Polar G1 Sensor in water? What is its water resistance rating?

The Polar G1 Sensor is water-resistant, allowing you to safely wear it in the rain or while crossing rivers or canoeing. However, please note that the GPS reception system of the sensor does not function underwater. To ensure the water resistance of the sensor, follow these guidelines: 1. Water Resistance: The Polar G1 Sensor has a water resistance rating of 20 meters. This means it can withstand water pressure up to a depth of 20 meters without water entering the device. 2. Rain and Water Activities: You can wear the sensor during rain or water activities such as crossing rivers or canoeing. The water resistance feature protects the sensor from water splashes and light submersion. 3. GPS Reception: It's important to note that the GPS reception system of the sensor does not work underwater. Therefore, if you plan to use the sensor for activities that involve complete submersion, such as swimming or diving, the GPS functionality will not be available. By following these guidelines, you can safely use the Polar G1 Sensor in water-related activities while ensuring its water resistance and functionality.
