Installing the Polar S1 foot pod
First, make sure that there is a battery in the foot pod. You can check this by pressing and holding the red button on the foot pod. If a green light starts to flash, you can start attaching the foot pod on your shoe. If there is no light, start from the chapter Assembling the S1 foot pod battery.
Assembling the S1 foot pod battery
The estimated average battery life span of the foot pod is 20 hours of use. If you prefer Polar to replace the battery, you can send or take the sensor to a Polar Service Center. There the sensor is tested after the battery is replaced. However, the S1 foot pod was designed so that you can replace the battery yourself. If you do so, follow the instructions below carefully:
1.Detach the foot pod from its holder by unfastening the flap and lifting the foot pod from the rear.

5.Check that the sealing rings are in the grooves. Close the battery cover and place the black top cover on top of the foot pod. Make sure that it is secured.
6.Test the foot pod by checking that the green light starts to flash after you press and hold the red button on the foot pod. Press and hold the red button again to turn the foot pod off.
