9.2 BATTERIES
Transmitter
The estimated average battery life of Polar WearLink Transmitter is
2 years (1h/day, 7 days/week). If your transmitter stops working, it
might be due to the battery running out. We recommend that you have
the battery replaced by an authorized Polar Service Center only.
You can, however, change the battery of the Polar WearLink
Transmitter yourself by following the instructions below. To change
the battery, you need a coin, sealing ring (some included in the
product package) and battery (CR2025).
1. Open the connector’s battery cover by turning it counter-
clockwise with the coin from the CLOSE position to the OPEN
position. The cover pops out a little from its niche.
2. Remove the battery cover from the connector, lift the battery from
the niche with your fingers and replace it with a new battery.
3. Remove the sealing ring of the battery cover and replace it with
a new ring.
