9. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What should I do if...
...the display of the cycling computer is blank?
If you are using the cycling computer for the fi rst time:
The cycling computer is in battery saving mode when it is
dispatched from the factory. To activate it, press the MIDDLE button
twice. The Basic Settings starts. For further information, see page 8.
If you have been using the cycling computer before:
The cycling computer goes to the power save mode (blank), if you
do not press any button in the Time mode for fi ve minutes. You
can turn the cycling computer on again by pressing any button.
Alternatively the battery may be dead (see the next question for
further instructions).
...the battery of the cycling computer must be replaced?
We recommend having all service done by an authorized Polar
Service Center. This is especially necessary to ensure that the
guarantee remains valid and is not affected by incorrect repair
procedures performed by an unauthorized agent. Polar Service
will test your cycling computer for water resistance after battery
replacement and make a full periodic check of the complete cycling
computer set.
...there are no reactions to any buttons?
If there are no reactions to any buttons, reset the cycling computer.
Resetting only clears the date and time, not the recorded Files or
Totals. Reset the cycling computer by pressing and holding all
buttons until the display is fi lled with digits. By pressing any button
the unit goes to the Basic Settings mode (BASIC SET is displayed).
For further information, see page 8. If this does not work, have the
batteries checked.
Note: If you do not press any button after you reset the cycling
computer, within one minute the computer goes to the Time mode.
...the symbol is activated?
Usually the fi rst sign of an expiring battery is the low battery
indicator on the display. For further information, see page 58.
Note: Due to cold conditions the low battery indicator may appear,
but the indicator disappears when you return to a warmer
temperature.
...another person with a cycling computer or a heart rate monitor
is causing interference?
Move away from that person and continue your exercise normally.
Alternatively, to avoid other person’s heart rate signals:
1. Take the transmitter off your chest for 30 seconds. Stay away
from the person with the other device.
2. Put the transmitter back on and bring the cycling computer up
to your chest near the transmitter’s Polar logo. The cycling
computer will start looking for a heart rate signal again.
Continue your exercise normally.
