Change Batteries Yourself
When changing the battery, make sure the
sealing ring is not damaged, in which case you
should replace it with a new one. 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. In the USA
the sealing ring/battery kits are also available at
www.shoppolar.com.
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.
Danger of explosion if the battery is replaced
with wrong type.
