Changing Batteries

Training Computer

We recommend that you have the training computer battery re- placed by an authorized Polar Service Center. They test your Polar training computer for water resistance after battery replacement.

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

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.

Transmitter Connector

The WearLink+ transmitter has a user changeable battery. To change the battery yourself, please follow the instructions carefully.

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 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.

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

2.Insert the battery (CR2025) inside the

cover with the positive (+) side against the cover. Make sure the sealing ring is in the groove to ensure water resistance.

3.Press the cover back into the connector.

4.Use the coin to turn the cover clockwise to CLOSE.

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