Changing Batteries
Avoid opening the sealed battery cover during the
guarantee period. We recommend that you have the
battery replaced by an authorized Polar Service Center.
Here, your training computer will be tested for water
resistance after battery replacement, and given a full
periodic check. However, if you decide to change the
battery yourself, please note the following:
• 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.
• Changing the battery may have an effect on water
resistance.
Change the sealing ring of the battery cover every time you
change the battery. 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 only. 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.
