Replacing the Battery
The HRM contains a CR 2032 coin cell battery which should provide two years of operation under normal conditions (running one hour per day/7 days per week). To replace the battery, use a small coin to open the battery hatch. Keep batteries out of the
reach of small children. Should a battery ever be swallowed acciden- tally, contact a physician immediately.
