RS800CX G3
- Quick start guide -
The Polar RS800CX G3 Equine is the most complete training system for
horses available. It is an evolution of the "human" RS800CX training system
and requires a good understanding of the user manual to use all its capaci-
ties fully. If you just bought this training system and want to try it immedi-
ately, the following quick start guide is what you need!
1. Contents of the set
A. A RS800CX receiver: receives displays
and records all the data measured by the
T56H transmitter and the G3 sensor.
B. A G3 GPS sensor with its battery:
measures speed and distance in real time.
C. A T56H transmitter : measures the
horse’s heart rate in real time.
D. A ProTrainer 5 Equine edition software:
displays a training log, graphs, tables and
reports on your PC to further analyse the
data recorded during training.
E. (In option, an IRDA USB adapter: uses
infrared connexion to transfer the re-
corded data from receiver to PC.)
2. How to use the RS800CX receiver
The RS800CX receiver has 5 navigation buttons and an infrared window to communicate
with the PC via the IRDA adapter.
• Use
UP and DOWN to scroll through
the different menus and adjust values (a
bit like + and - buttons).
• Use OK to enter a menu, to validate a
value and to start the stopwatch.
• Use STOP to exit a menu, to return to
the previous display (when you made a
mistake while adjusting a value) and to
stop the stopwatch.
• Press LIGHT once and the backlight is
activated for 5 seconds when you press
any other button. You can also lock the
buttons by pressing and holding the
LIGHT button for 2 seconds.
3. Starting the RS800CX
By default, the RS800CX receiver is
switched off to save the battery.
Press OK twice to activate it.
Press UP or DOWN to select english
as the language to be used.
Press OK to validate.
The following settings must be done,
even though they don’t concern the
horse.
If you don’t do these basic settings,
the RS800CX will remind you set them
before every exercise.
Use the UP and DOWN buttons to cus-
tomize the following basic settings.
Press OK to validate your settings.
• Time display (24h/12h)
• Time
• Date (day/month/year or
month/day/year)
• Units (kg/cm/km or lb/ft/mi)
• Weight (of the rider)
• Height (of the rider)
• Birthday (day/month/year or
month/day/year) of the rider
• Sex (of the rider)
If you got wrong somewhere, press
STOP to return to the previous set-
ting.
If your settings are good, select Yes.
Press OK to validate.
Once the settings are done, the RS800CX
returns automatically to the time display.
It is now ready for use!
4. Starting the G3
The G3 sensor uses GPS (Global Positioning System) technology to measure speed
and distance in real time. In ideal conditions of use, its precision can reach one meter.
The battery of the G3 has an average of 10h of use. The G3 is waterproof and its solid
design makes it resistant to most shocks and scratches.
Use a coin to unscrew and open the metal battery cover. Place the LR6 battery as indi-
cated and screw the metal cover back into place.
The buckle located in the back of the G3
allows you either to wear the G3 on your
arm using the strap provided or to fix it
on a belt or loop.
To ensure a good detection of the GPS
signals, the G3 should not be covered or
worn under clothes.
Open the G3 buckle and pass the strap
through the loop (Velcro on the inside).
Pull in enough strap so your arm can fit
through it.
Then adjust the size of the strap so the G3
can’t move once placed on your arm.
To ensure good detection of the GPS sig-
nals, the G3 shouldn’t be covered and
should be placed with the Polar logo in an
upright position. We also recommend wear-
ing it on the same arm as the RS800 re-
ceiver.
Your G3 is now ready for use!
Press the button 2 seconds to start (or stop)
the G3. A green light indicating battery status
(B) flashes for a few seconds. Following this,
a red light indicating detection status (A) ap-
pears and shows that the G3 is searching for
GPS signals.
Don’t move. Once the GPS signals have
been found (after 1 minute in average), this
light (A) becomes green.
Note: The light indicating battery status (B)
becomes red when the battery is flat .
