4. IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Caring for Your Activity Monitor

Clean with a mild soap and water solution, dry with towel.
Do not press buttons under water. Never use alcohol or
any abrasive material (steel wool or cleaning chemicals).
Keep in a cool and dry place. Do not store in a damp
environment, in non-breathable material such as a plastic
bag or a sports bag. Do not expose to direct sunlight for
extended periods.
Polar Active can be sanitized with a suitable disinfectant
according to the manufacturers instructions.

Service

During the one-year guarantee/warranty period we
recommend that you have service done by an authorized
Polar Service Center only. The warranty does not cover
damage or consequential damage caused by service not
authorized by Polar Electro.

Changing Battery

Avoid opening the sealed battery cover during the
guarantee period. We recommend that you have the
battery replaced by an authorized Polar Service Center.
They test your Polar Active for water resistance after
battery replacement and make a full periodic check.
8 Important Information
Please note the following:
• The low battery indicator is displayed when 10-15% of
the battery capacity is left.
• In cold conditions, the low battery indicator may appear,
but will disappear when the temperature rises.
• The sound is automatically turned off when the low
battery indicator is displayed.
• Keep the batteries away from children. If swallowed,
contact a doctor immediately.
• Batteries should be disposed of properly according to
local regulations.
• When handling a new, fully charged battery, avoid
clasp-like contact, i.e. simultaneously 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 may decrease the capacity and thus the
lifetime of the battery.
• Change the sealing ring of the battery cover every time
you change the battery. 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 only.
