Change Batteries Yourself

When changing the battery, make sure the sealing ring is not damaged, in which case you should replace it with a new one. 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. In the USA the sealing ring/battery kits are also available at www.shoppolar.com.

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

Batteries should be properly disposed of according to local regulations.

When handling a new, fully charged battery, avoid clasp-like contact, i.e. simultaneous 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 lifetime of the battery.

Danger of explosion if the battery is replaced with wrong type.
