Batteries
Polar T61 transmitter
The estimated average battery life of the Polar T61 transmitter is 2500
hours of use. Contact your distributor/ dealer for a transmitter
replacement. Polar recycles used transmitters. See your Customer Care
Charter for detailed instructions.
Polar S510 wrist receiver
The estimated average battery life of the Polar S510 wrist receiver is 2
years in normal use (2h/ day, 7 days a week). Note also that excessive use
of the backlight and the alarm signals will use the battery more rapidly.
Do not open the Polar wrist receiver yourself. To ensure the water
resistance properties and the use of qualified components, the wrist
receiver battery should be replaced only by an authorised Polar Service
Centre. At the same time a full periodic check of the Polar heart rate
monitor will be done.
Battery Replacement for Polar Speed Sensor
The estimated average battery life of the Polar Speed Sensor is 2500
hours of use. We highly recommend you send the speed sensor to an
authorised Polar Service Centre for battery replacement, where the unit
is water-resistant tested after the battery has been replaced. However, if
you prefer changing the battery yourself, please follow these
instructions carefully:
G 82
Detach the sensor from your bicycle.
1. Open the sensor by removing the two small screws, counter-clockwise,
with a small screwdriver.
2. Lift the case off carefully. Hold the sensor cover upwards so that the
PCBA (printed circuit board assembled) stays in the case.
3. Remove the PCBA carefully.
4. Press the battery holder gently. Release a hook of the holder from
the opposite side of the PCBA and lift the holder upwards. Remove
the old battery.
5. Insert a new battery with the plus (+) side facing up and press the
battery housing gently so that it is attached to the PCBA at all corners.
6. Put the PCBA back into place.
7. Check that the sealing ring stays in its groove. Replace the cover back.
8. Insert the two screws in their holes and tighten them.
9. Test the sensor by checking that it gives out an orange flash when the
spoke magnet passes the speed sensor.
10.Do not throw the replaced battery away with normal waste; take it to a
place where problem waste is handled.
