We recommend having all service done by an authorized Polar Service Center. However, if you wish to use a local watch shop or battery replacement center or to change the battery yourself, please follow these instructions.

Water resistance cannot be guaranteed after an unauthorized service.

Piece of dust-free pad

Small Phillips or standard screwdriver

Plastic tweezers (recommended)

5.Reset the receiver by pressing

the reset spring against the round golden pad for 1 second. Be sure that the spring touches the pad.

9.Put the screws in their holes and tighten them slightly from opposite corners. Do not tighten them completely to ensure even closing of the cover. Do not force the screws or damage the existing threads.

10.After having checked that the back cover is firmly in its place, tighten the screws securely from opposite corners.
