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 Polar 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.

H. PRECAUTIONS
Using the Polar Heart Rate Monitor in a Water Environment
Your Polar heart rate monitor is water resistant to 160 feet/ 50 meters.
Users measuring heart rate in a water environment may experience interference for the following reasons:
•Pool water with a high chlorine content and seawater are very conductive. The electrodes of a Polar transmitter may become short circuited which prevents EKG signals from detection by the transmitter unit.
•Jumping into the water or strenuous muscle movement during competitive swimming may cause water resistance that shifts the transmitter on the body to a location where it is not possible to pick up EKG signal.
•The EKG signal strength varies depending on the individual’s tissue composition and the percentage of people who have problems in heart rate measuring is considerably higher in a water environment than in other use.
