When the display is blank, the battery is empty and A300 has gone to sleep mode. Charge your A300. If the battery is totally drained, it may take a while for the charging animation to appear on the display.

CHANGING HEART RATE SENSOR BATTERY

To change the battery of the heart rate sensor 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.Using a coin, open the battery cover by turning it coun- terclockwise to OPEN.

2.Insert the battery (CR 2025) inside the cover with the positive

(+) side against the cover. Make sure the sealing ring is in the groove to ensure water res- istance.

3.Press the cover back into the con- nector.

4.Use the coin to turn the cover clockwise to CLOSE.

Danger of explosion if the battery is replaced with wrong type.
