Batteries

The RCX3 training computer and the Polar
H2/H3 heart rate sensor both have a user
changeable battery.
When changing the heart rate sensor 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.
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
18 ENGLISH
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.
Keep the batteries away from children. If
swallowed, contact a doctor immediately.
Batteries should be properly disposed of
according to local regulations.
Power save mode
: To maximize the battery
lifetime of the RCX3 training computer, there is
a power save mode, which can be activated
from WebSync software. For more information,
on the power save mode settings, see WebSync
Help.
The power save mode will not be enabled during
training session recording.
