1. INTRODUCTION Congratulations on the purchase of your Polar RC3 GPS ™ training computer! The training computer offers you an all-in-one system to guide you in your training. This user manual includes complete instructions to help you get the most out of your training computer .
2. THE ALL-IN-ONE TRAINING SYSTEM T raining Computer Parts With an integrated GPS unit, the Polar RC3 GPS training computer provides speed and distance data, as well as route information at polarpersonaltrainer .com web service, in all outdoor sports using Global Positioning System (GPS) technology .
Available Accessories With the help of Polar accessories, you can enhance your training experience and achieve a more complete understanding of your performance. Comfortable heart rate sensor Polar H3 detects your heart rate accurately from the heart's electrical signals and sends the data to the training computer in real time.
LIGHT BACK ST ART/OK UP DOWN • Illuminate the display • Press and hold to enter QUICK MENU : In time view lock buttons, set alarm or select time zone. During training lock buttons, search sensor , adjust training sounds, set automatic lap on/off, show GPS info or show zone limits.
3. TRAINING COMPUTER BA TTER Y Charging Y our T raining Computer The Polar RC3 GPS training computer has an internal, rechargable battery . Use the USB cable included in the product set to charge the training computer via the USB connector on your computer .
Y ou can increase the battery operating time significantly by using A vailable Accessories (page 6 ) instead of the GPS function for measuring speed and distance when you do not need route information.
Low battery notification Battery status Recording stopped , Batte ry Empty The charge is critically low . The training computer stops recording the training session, saves the training data and then goes to sleep mode. When the training computer display is blank, the battery is empty and the training computer has gone to sleep mode.
4. SETTING UP THE TRAINING COMPUTER Basic Settings Before using your training computer for the first time, customize the basic settings. Enter as accurate data as possible to ensure correct feedback based on your performance. Activate your training computer by pressing ST ART .
5. TRAINING Wearing the Heart Rate Sensor Wear the heart rate sensor to measure heart rate. 1. Moisten the electrode area of the strap. 2. Attach the connector to the strap. 3. T ie the strap around your chest, just below the chest muscles, and attach the hook to the other end of the strap.
2. Pair the heart rate sensor with the training computer (pairing is performed only once) 1. Se arching for new he art r ate sensor is displayed. The training computer searches for the heart rate sensor signal. 2. He art r ate sensor found is displayed when the training computer finds the signal.
4. The training computer searches the GPS satellite signals / sensor signals 2. T o catch the GPS satellite signals, go outdoors and away from tall buildings and trees. Wear the training computer with the face upwards on your wrist. Keep the training computer in a horizontal position in front of you and away from your chest (see the image below).
*Optional sensors include Polar s3+ stride sensor , Polar CS speed sensor W .I.N.D. or Polar CS cadence sensor W .I.N.D. T rain with Polar ZoneOptimizer Polar ZoneOptimizer is a smart training feature that provides personal, optimized sport zones for your every aerobic training session.
1. The ZoneOptimizer determination starts. Start increasing your heart rate slowly to 100 bpm. Spend at least 2 minutes above 70 bpm but below 100 bpm. This can be achieved by standing or with very light training intensity , for example, walking slowly .
Remember that you need to spend at least 2 minutes doing both phase 1 and phase 2. The duration of the last phase is 6 minutes at maximum, and you need to be above 130 bpm for a minimum of 30 seconds, or until your heart rate variation can no longer be detected.

The display will show: Lap number Average heart rate of the lap Lap time If a speed sensor is activated, the following will also appear: Lap number Average speed/pace of the lap Lap distance Lock a Sport Zone Y ou can lock/unlock your heart rate to the current sport zone.
• Distance (visible if the GPS function is on or s3+ stride sensor/CS speed sensor is in use) and Running Index (visible if the GPS function is on or s3+ stride sensor is in use) Care for your heart rate sensor after training. Detach the connector from the strap and rinse the strap under running water after every use.
6. AFTER TRAINING T raining Benefit The T raining Benefit feature helps you better understand the effectiveness of your training. This feature requires the use of the heart rate sensor . After each training session you get textual feedback on your performance providing that you have trained at least a total of 10 minutes in the sport zones.

8. T o return to time mode, press and hold the BACK button. Pairing a New Cadence Sensor with the T raining Computer Make sure the cadence sensor has been correctly installed. For more information on installing the cadence sensor refer to the user manual of the cadence sensor or to the video tutorial at http://www .
Calibration by Running Wizard Before calibration the stride sensor needs to be paired with the training computer . For more information on pairing the stride sensor and training computer , see New Accessory (page 38 ) . Make sure the stride sensor function in the training computer is on.
1. In time mode press ST ART and select Running as your sport profile. Press ST ART again and start running. 2. At the starting point of a known lap distance, press ST ART (minimum calibration distance is 400 meters / 0.3 miles). When you have run the whole lap distance, press ST ART .
11. POLAR SMART COACHING Polar Sport Zones Polar sport zones introduce a new level of effectiveness in heart rate-based training. T raining is divided into five sport zones based on percentages of maximum heart rate. With sport zones, you can easily select and monitor training intensities.
If your goal is to compete at top potential, you will have to train in heart rate zones 4 and 5 . In these zones, you exercise anaerobically in intervals of up to 10 minutes. The shorter the interval, the higher the intensity . Sufficient recovery between intervals is very important.
(page 42 ). The measurement takes your current physiological state into account and changes Sport Zones values so that it is more certain for you to get the same physiological response when training in specific Sport Zones on different days.
physical exertion. It is individual and depends on age, hereditary factors, and fitness level. It may also vary according to the type of sport performed. HR max is used to express training intensity . Determining Maximum Heart Rate Y our HR max can be determined in several ways.
noticeable improvements in stride length, and if combined with some faster leg speed work (such as short strides at best 5km pace), noticeable improvements should be seen in overall speed, as well. *Optional s3+ stride sensor required. Polar Running Index Running Index offers an easy way to monitor performance changes.

If you answer yes to any of these questions, we recommend that you consult a doctor before starting any training program.
Watch accuracy: Better than ± 0.5 seconds / day at 25 °C / 77 °F temperature GPS accuracy: distance +/-2%, speed +/-2km/h Sample rate: 1 sample/sec Accuracy of heart rate monitor: ± 1% or 1 bpm, whichever larger . Definition applies to stable conditions.
• OwnIndex ® technology for fitness test. • OwnCal ® personal calorie calculation. Polar WebSync Software and USB Cable System Requirements: Operating system: Microsoft Windows XP/Vista/7 or Mac OS X 10.
The speed or distance readings are incorrect or irregular Something in your surroundings may be blocking GPS satellite signal reception (e.g. underpasses, tall buildings, terrain or forested areas). If the training computer cannot locate the satellite signals, it will not be able to calculate its location.
Check he art r ate sensor! is displayed • Make sure the heart rate sensor strap has not loosened during exercise. • Make sure the electrodes of the heart rate sensor are wet. • Make sure the electrodes of the heart rate sensor are clean and undamaged.
