Congratulations! The Polar s3+ stride sensorTMW.I.N.D. is the best choice for improving yourrunning technique and efficiency. Usingsensitive inertial sensors to track the position ofthe foot, it is immune from signal dropout, andgives accurate and highly responsive speed,distance, leg cadence and stride lengthmeasurements.The latest version of this user manual can bedownloaded at www.polar.fi/support.For video tutorials, go tohttp://www.polar.fi/en/support/video_tutorials.Please follow the pictures on the front cover.Install Stride Sensor BatteryBefore using the s3+ stride sensor for the firsttime, insert the battery (included in the productpackage).1. Open the battery cover by turning itcounterclockwise to OPEN using a coin (seepicture 1).2. Place the battery inside the cover with thepositive (+) side facing the cover (seepicture 2). Make sure the sealing ring is inthe groove to ensure water resistance.3. Place the cover with the battery inside itinto the sensor.4. Press the cover in place and close it byturning clockwise from OPEN to CLOSEusing a coin (see picture 3).ENGLISH1
Teach a New Stride Sensor to Your TrainingComputerYour new s3+ stride sensor must be introducedto your Polar training computer in order toanalyze your running technique and efficiency.This is called teaching. For further information,refer to the training computer user manual or goto www.polar.fi/support.The s3+ stride sensor can be positionedeither on the shoelaces or in the sole cavity ofa specific running shoe.Attach Stride Sensor on Shoelaces1. Undo your shoelaces and place the holderon top of the tongue of the shoe (seepicture 4). Make sure the holder flap isfacing upwards.2. Thread the laces in through the holes onthe sides of the holder and out through thehole on the bottom of the holder (seepicture 4). Thread the laces through thesmall flap on the tongue of the shoe toensure the holder does not move whilerunning.3. Tighten the laces.4. Fit the front part of the sensor into theholder and press from the rear (see picture5). Fasten the flap.5. Make sure the sensor does not move and isaligned with your foot. The more secure thesensor, the more accurately speed anddistance is measured.ENGLISH2
Calibrate the s3+ Stride SensorCalibration of the stride sensor improves theaccuracy of speed, pace and distancemeasurements. It is recommended that youcalibrate the stride sensor before using it for thefirst time, if there are significant changes inyour running style, or if the position of thestride sensor on the shoe is dramaticallychanged (e.g. if you have new shoes or if youswitch the sensor from your right shoe to yourleft one). You can calibrate the stride sensor byrunning a known accurate distance, or bysetting the calibration factor manually. Thecalibration should be done at the speed younormally run. If you run at different speeds, thecalibration should be done at your averagespeed.Calibrate stride sensor during training(on-the-fly calibration): You can calibrate thestride sensor at any phase of your trainingsession with actual distance correction, whenyou have run a known distance, preferably morethan 1000 meters, calibrate the stride sensor asinstructed in the user manual for the Polarproduct in question.Set calibration factor manually: Thecalibration factor is calculated as a ratio of theactual distance to the uncalibrated distance.For instance if you run 1200 m and the Polarproduct shows a distance of 1180 m withcalibration factor 1.000. Calculate the newfactor as follows: 1.000*1200/1180 = 1.017.The measuring range for the factor is0.500-1.500.ENGLISH3
ServiceDuring the two-year guarantee/warranty period,we recommend that you service the product atan authorized Polar Service Center only. Thewarranty does not cover damage orconsequential damage caused by service notauthorized by Polar Electro.Changing batteries: To change the batteries ofthe stride sensor yourself, follow the giveninstructions. To ensure the maximum lifespan ofthe battery cover, open it only when changingthe battery. When changing the battery, makesure the sealing ring is not damaged. Batterykits with sealing rings are available atwell-equipped Polar retailers and authorizedPolar Service Centers. In the USA and Canada,sealing rings are available at authorized PolarService Centers only.If you would prefer Polar to replace the battery,contact an authorized Polar Service Center. TheService will test the stride sensor after replacingthe battery.Keep batteries away from children. Ifswallowed, contact a doctor immediately.Batteries should be properly disposed ofaccording to local regulations.ENGLISH4
Care and MaintenanceYour safety is important to us. The shape of the stridesensor is designed to minimize the possibility of gettingcaught in something. In any case, be careful whenrunning with the stride sensor in brushwood, forexample.The Polar s3+ stride sensor is water resistant and canbe safely worn in the rain. Do not immerse the stridesensor in water as it is not intended for underwateractivities. Do not expose to direct sunlight for extendedperiods.Keep your stride sensor in a cool and dry place. Do notkeep in a damp environment, in non-breathablematerial (a plastic bag or a sports bag) nor withconductive material (a wet towel).Technical SpecificationsBattery life: Average 200 hours of useBattery type: CR2430Battery sealing ring: O-Ring 25.0 x 1.2, material siliconeOperating temperature: -10 °C to +50 °C / 14 °F to 122 °FAccuracy: ±3 % or better once calibrated,definition applies to stable conditionsENGLISH5

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.Avis de conformité à la réglementation d’Industrie CanadaCet appareil est conform à la norme NMB-003 du Industrie Canada. L’utilisation de ce dispositif est autorisée seulement aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) il ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l’utilisateur du dispositif doit être prêt à accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique reçu, même si ce brouillage est susceptible de compromettre le fonctionnement du dispositif.USAFCC regulatory informationThis device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:Reorient or relocate the receiving 1. antenna.Increase the separation between the 2. equipment and receiver.Connect the equipment into an outlet on 3. a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.Consult the dealer or an experienced 4. radio/TV technician for help.This product emits radio frequency energy, but the radiated output power of this device is far below the FCC and IC radio frequency exposure limits. This equipment complies with FCC and IC RF radiation exposure limits forth for an uncontrolled environment. Nevertheless, the device should be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact with the antenna during normal operation is minimized.Caution! Changes or modifi cations not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.19532770.04 GEN E
