...HEART RATE READING BECOMES ERRATIC OR
EXTREMELY HIGH (OVER 200 BPM)?
You may have come within range of strong electromagnetic
signals which cause erratic readings on the Receiver display.
Check your surroundings and move further away from the
source of disturbance. Precautions.
...THERE ARE NO REACTIONS TO ANY BUTTONS?
Reset the Polar Heart Rate Monitor. Resetting clears all
memory values and settings will return to the default settings.
1. Wear the Polar Transmitter as described earlier in this manual.
2. Simultaneously press both buttons and hold the Polar logo
of the Wrist Receiver to the Polar logo of the Polar Transmitter.
Display becomes full of digits.
3. Press either the right or the left button once.
You hear a long beep.
Polar Fitwatch enters the Time mode.
...THE DISPLAY IS BLANK OR FADING?
Usually the first sign of a discharged battery is disappearing
of the digits when using the backlight. Have the batteries
checked. Service.
...THE BATTERY OF THE WRIST RECEIVER MUST
BE REPLACED?
We recommend having all service done by authorised Polar
Service. Especially during the warranty period this is
necessary to keep the warranty of the whole Polar Heart Rate
Monitor valid. Polar Service will test your Wrist Receiver for
water resistance after battery replacement and make a full
periodic check of the complete Polar Heart Rate Monitor.
