Polar F55 user manual WearLink Transmitter Battery

Wash the strap regularly in a washing machine at 40ºC/104ºF or at lest after every fifth use. This ensures reliable measurement and maximizes the life span of the transmitter. Use a washing pouch. Do not soak, spin-dry, iron, dry clean or bleach the strap. Do not use detergent with bleach or fabric softener. Never put the transmitter connector in the washing machine or drier!

Dry and store the strap and connector separately. Wash the strap in a washing machine before long-term storage, and always after use in pool water with high chlorine content. Keep the transmitter in a cool and dry place. Do not store wet in non-breathing material, such as a sports bag. Sweat and moisture keep the electrodes wet and activated. Do not expose to direct sunlight for extended periods.

WearLink Transmitter Battery

The estimated average battery lifespan of the transmitter is 2 years (usage: 1h/day, 7 days/week). If your transmitter stops working,

it might be due to the battery running out.

To change the battery, you need a coin, sealing ring and battery (CR 2025).

1.Open the battery cover of the connector by turning it counter

clockwise with a coin from the CLOSE position to the OPEN position.

2. Remove the battery cover, lift the battery and replace it with a new battery.

3.Remove the sealing ring of the battery cover and replace it with a new ring.

4.Place the negative (-) side of the battery against the bottom and the positive (+) side against the cover.

5.Put the cover on so that the arrow points to the OPEN position. Make sure that the cover’s sealing ring is placed correctly in its groove.

6.Gently press the cover deep enough so that its exterior surface is on the same level as the connector’s surface.

7.Turn the cover with the coin clockwise so that the arrow on the cover turns from OPEN to CLOSE. Make sure that the cover is closed properly!

Note:

•In order to ensure the maximum life span of the connector’s battery cover, open it only when you need to change the battery. We recommend that you change the sealing ring of the battery cover every time you change the battery. You can get the sealing ring/battery kits from well-equipped Polar retailers and authorized Polar Services. In the USA and Canada: Additional sealing rings are available from an authorized Polar Service Center only.

•Keep the batteries away from children. If swallowed, contact a doctor immediately.

•Batteries should be disposed of properly according to local regulations.
