Batteries
Polar Coded Transmitter
The estimated average battery life of the Polar coded
transmitter is 2500 hours of use. Contact the Polar Education
Division for a transmitter replacement. Polar recycles used
transmitters and properly disposes the lithium batteries. See
your Customer Care Charter for detailed instructions.
Polar E600 Wrist Receiver
The estimated average battery life of the Polar E600 wrist
receiver is 2 years in normal use (2h/ day, 7 days a week). To
ensure the water resistance properties and the use of qualified
components, we recommend having all service done by an
authorized Polar Service Center. At the same time, a full
periodic check of the Polar heart rate monitor will be done.
However, if you wish to have your receiver serviced locally, or
to replace the battery yourself, keep in mind that water
resistance cannot be guaranteed after unauthorized service.
Your receiver may leak if submerged in water.
Your Polar heart rate monitor is a high-tech instrument
of superior design and workmanship and should be
treated with care. The suggestions below will help you
fulfill the guarantee obligations and enjoy this product
for many years to come.
Taking Care of Your Polar Heart Rate Monitor
• Wash the transmitter regularly after use with a mild soap and
water solution. Dry it carefully after washing with soft towel.
• Wash the elastic strap in cold water and detergent and then
hang it up to dry.
• Never store the transmitter wet. Sweat and moisture can keep
its electrodes wet and the transmitter activated, which
shortens the battery life.
• Store your Polar heart rate monitor in a cool and dry place. Do
not store it in any kind of non-breathing material, such as a
plastic bag or a wet sports bag.
• Do not bend or stretch the transmitter. This can damage the
electrodes.
• Do not dry the transmitter in any other way than with a towel.
Hard-handed handling can damage the electrodes.
