Change Batteries Yourself

To change the batteries of the training computer and heart rate sensor yourself, carefully follow the instructions below:

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.

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.

Changing Training Computer Battery

1.Use the battery cap tool to open the battery cover. Position the tool so that it fits in correctly on the top of the back cover and turn it from CLOSE to OPEN. Remove the battery cover.

2.Lift the battery out carefully. Be careful not to damage the metal sound element or the grooves. Insert a new battery with the positive (+) side outwards.

3.Close the cover with the battery cap tool and re-enter the basic settings.

Changing Heart Rate Sensor Battery

1.Using a coin, open the battery cover by turning it counterclockwise to OPEN.

2.Insert the battery inside the cover with the negative (-) side outwards. Make sure the sealing ring is in the groove to ensure water resistance.
