Changing Batteries

Avoid opening the sealed battery cover during the guarantee period. We recommend that you have the battery replaced by an authorized Polar Service Center. They test your Polar FT60 for water resistance after battery replacement and make a full periodic check. Please note the following:

•The low battery indicator is displayed when 10-15% of the battery capacity is left.

•Before battery change, transfer all data from your FT60 to polarpersonaltrainer.com to avoid data loss. For more information see Transfer Data.

•Excessive use of the backlight drains the battery more rapidly.

•In cold conditions, the low battery indicator may appear, but will disappear when the temperature rises.

•The backlight and sound are automatically turned off when the low battery indicator is displayed. Any alarms set prior to the appearance of the low battery indicator will remain active.

•Changing the battery may have an effect on water resistance

To change the battery yourself:

Change the sealing ring of the battery cover every time you change the battery. You can purchase the sealing ring/battery kits at well-equipped Polar retailers and authorized Polar Services. In the USA and Canada, the additional sealing rings are available at authorized Polar Service Centers only. Keep the batteries away from children. If swallowed, contact a doctor immediately. Batteries should be disposed of properly according to local regulations.

When handling a new, fully charged battery, avoid clasp-like contact, i.e. simultaneously from both sides, with metal or electrically conducting tools, like tweezers. This may short circuit the battery, causing it to discharge more rapidly. Typically, short circuiting does not damage the battery, but it may decrease the capacity and the lifetime of the battery.
