Prior to changing the battery, please note the following:

•The low battery indicator is displayed when 10-15% of the battery capacity is left.

•Before battery change, transfer all data from your RCX5 to polarpersonaltrainer.com to avoid data loss. For more information, see Transfer Data (page 26).

•Excessive use of the backlight drains the battery more rapidly.

•In cold conditions, the low battery indicator may appear, but will disappear when the temperature rises.

•The backlight and sound are automatically turned off when the low battery indicator is displayed. Any alarms set prior to the appearance of the low battery indicator will remain active.

Keep the batteries away from children. If swallowed, contact a doctor immediately. Batteries should be disposed of properly according to local regulations.

Change Batteries Yourself

To change the batteries of the training computer and transmitter yourself, carefully follow the instructions below:

When changing the battery, make sure the sealing ring is not damaged, in which case you should replace it with a new one. You can purchase the sealing ring/battery kits at well-equipped Polar retailers and authorized Polar Services. In the USA and Canada, the additional sealing rings are available at authorized Polar Service Centers. In the USA the sealing ring/battery kits are also available at www.shoppolar.com.

When handling a new, fully charged battery, avoid clasp-like contact, i.e. simultaneously from both sides, with metal or electrically conducting tools, like tweezers. This may short circuit the battery, causing it to discharge more rapidly. Typically, short circuiting does not damage the battery, but it may decrease the capacity and the lifetime of the battery.

1.Open the battery cover with a coin by turning it from CLOSE to OPEN.

2.• When changing wrist unit battery (2a), remove the battery cover and lift the battery out carefully with a suitable sized small rigid stick or bar, for instance, a toothpick or small screwdriver. However, prefer a non-metal tool for wrenching the battery out. Be careful not to damage the metal sound element (*) or the grooves. Insert a new battery with the positive

(+) side outwards.

•When changing transmitter battery (2b), place the battery inside the cover with the positive (+) side facing the cover.

3.Replace the old sealing ring with a new one (if available), fitting it snugly in the cover groove to ensure water resistance.

4.Put the cover back on and turn it clockwise to

CLOSE.

5.Re-enter the basic settings if you changed the wrist unit batteries.
