Calibrate the Polar s3 Stride Sensor W.I.N.D.
Optional calibration of the s3 sensor* improves accuracy of speed, pace, and distance measurements.
It is recommended that you calibrate the sensor before using it for the first time, if there are
significant changes in your running style, or if the position of the sensor on the shoe is dramatically
changed (e.g. if you have new running shoes). You can calibrate the sensor by running a known
distance, or by setting the calibration factor manually.
You can calibrate one s3 sensor for each shoe setting.
Calibrate Sensor by Running a Distance (on-the-fly calibration)
You can calibrate the sensor at any phase of your exercise with lap distance correction, provided you
are not exercising with distance-based targets. Just run a known distance, preferably more than 1000
meters.
Make sure the sensor function in the training computer is on (Settings > Features > Shoes/bikes > Shoes
1/2/3 > On).
In time mode press OK once. Select Settings > Shoes/bikes > Shoes 1/2/3.
Then select Start and start running.
When you are in a starting point of a known lap distance, press OK. When you have run the whole lap
distance, press OK. Then calibrate the sensor by choosing either alternative:
1. Press and hold LIGHT to go to Settings. Or,
2. Press STOP once. Select Settings.
Select Calibrate > Correct lap > Set true lap distance. Fix the displayed lap distance with the distance you
just ran, and press OK.
