Taking care of your Polar running/cycling computer

•Store your wrist unit and transmitter in a cool and dry place. Do not store it in any kind of non-breathing material, such as a plastic bag or a sports bag if it is wet. Sweat and moisture can keep the transmitters electrodes wet and the transmitter activated, which shortens the battery life.

•Keep your wrist unit and transmitter out of extreme cold (below -10 ºC / 14 ºF) and heat (above +50 ºC / 122 ºF).

•Do not expose the wrist unit and transmitter to direct sunlight for extended periods, such as by leaving it in a car.

Batteries

Transmitter

The estimated average battery life span of the transmitter is 2 years (1h/ day, 7 days/ week). If your transmitter stops working, it might be due to the battery running out. We recommend that you have the battery replaced by an authorized Polar Service Center only.

You can, however, change the battery yourself by following the instructions below. To change the battery, you need a coin, a sealing ring and a battery (CR2025).
