IMPORTANT INFORMATION

BATTERY

Your watch has an internal, rechargeable battery. Rechargeable batteries have a limited lifespan, which depends on
several factors, including battery technology, operating temperatures, charging habits, and how the watch is used and
cared for. You can maximize the battery lifespan by keeping your watch in good condition and charging and storing it
according to the instructions below.
Keep the charging contacts of your watch clean to effectively protect your watch from oxidation and other
l
possible damage caused by dirt and salt water (e.g. sweat or sea water). The best way to keep the charging
contacts clean is to rinse the watch after each training session with lukewarm tap water. The watch is water
resistant and you can rinse it under running water without damaging the electronic components.
Before charging, make sure there's no moisture, dust or dirt on the charging contacts of your watch and cable.
l
Gently wipe off any dirt or moisture.
Do not charge the watch in temperatures under 0 °C/ +32 °F or over +40 °C/ +104 °F.
l
Do not charge the watch near flammable materials or on flammable surfaces.
l
Do not charge the watch when it's wet.
l
Do not leave the watch in extreme cold (below –10 °C/14 °F) and heat (above 50 °C/120 °F) or under direct
l
sunlight.
Avoid discharging the battery completely before recharging and charging the battery full every time. Keeping the
l
battery charge between 10-90% puts less strain on the battery, helps the battery maintain optimal performance,
and extends the battery's life.
Do not leave the battery fully discharged for a long period of time or keep it fully charged all the time.
l
Store the watch partially charged in a cool and dry place. If you won't be using your watch for a while, charge it to
l
around 50 percent before storing it. Also, turn off the watch from
watch. The battery slowly loses its charge when it is stored. If you are going to store the watch for several
months, it is recommended to recharge it after a few months.
Over time, rechargeable batteries gradually wear out, and their capacity decreases. The average lifespan of
rechargeable lithium-ion batteries used in phones and sports watches, including Polar watches, is about 2-3 years. The
battery will have approximately 80% of its original capacity left at this stage, and the percentage continues to decrease
with time and use. The actual battery lifespan varies depending on use and operating conditions.
At the end of the working life of the product Polar encourages you to minimize possible effects of waste on the
environment and human health by following local waste disposal regulations and, where possible, utilizing separate
collection of electronic devices. Do not dispose of this product as unsorted municipal waste.

CHARGING THE BATTERY

Use the USB cable included in the product set to charge the battery via the USB port on your computer.
You can charge the battery via a wall outlet. When charging via a wall outlet, use a USB power adapter (not included in
the product set). If you use a USB power adapter, make sure that the adapter is marked with "output 5Vdc" and that it
provides a minimum of 500mA. Only use an adequately safety approved USB power adapter (marked with "LPS",
"Limited Power Supply", "UL listed" or "CE").
