The Polar cycling computer displays your performance indicators. It indicates the level of physiological
strain and intensity during exercise. It also measures speed and distance when cycling with a Polar
Speed sensor. The Polar G3 GPS sensor is designed to measure speed, distance and location data, as
well as to provide track information. The Polar Cadence Sensor is designed to measure cadence when
cycling. The Polar Power Sensor is designed to measure power output when cycling. No other use is
intended or implied.
The Polar Cycling 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
