Batteries

Transmitter

The estimated average battery life of the transmitter is 2500 hours of use. Contact your authorized Polar service center for a replacement transmitter. Polar recycles used transmitters. See your Customer Care Charter for detailed instructions.

Wrist Receiver

The estimated average battery life of the wrist receiver is 2 years in normal use (2h/ day, 7 days a week). Please note that excessive use of the backlight and the alarm signals will drain the battery more rapidly. Do not open the wrist receiver yourself. To ensure the water resistance properties and the use of qualified components, the wrist receiver battery should be replaced by an authorized Polar Service Center only. At the same time a full periodic check of the Polar heart rate monitor will be done.

Service

Should your Polar heart rate monitor need service, see the Customer Care Charter to contact an authorized Polar Service Center.

Water resistance cannot be guaranteed after unauthorized service.
