Installing The Polar S1™ Foot Pod; Assembling The S1 Foot Pod Battery - Polar Electro S625X User Manual

Installing the Polar S1™ foot pod
First, make sure that there is a battery in the foot pod. You can check this by
pressing the red button on the foot pod. If a green light starts to flash, you
can start attaching the foot pod on your shoe. If there is no light, start from
the chapter Assembling the S1 foot pod battery.

Assembling the S1 foot pod battery

The estimated average battery life span of the foot pod is 40 hours of use. If
you prefer Polar to replace the battery, you can send or take the sensor to a
Polar Service Center. There the sensor is tested after the battery is replaced.
However, the S1 foot pod was designed so that you can replace the battery
yourself. If you do so, follow the instructions below carefully:
1. Detach the foot pod from its holder by unfastening the flap and lifting
the foot pod from the rear.
4. Insert the battery case back inside the foot pod. Make sure that the
battery case slides into the grooves of the sensor.
5. Check that the sealing rings are in the grooves. Close the battery cover and
place the black top cover on top of the foot pod. Make sure that it is secured.
6. Test the foot pod by checking that the green light starts to flash after you
press and hold the red button on the foot pod. Press and hold the red
button again to turn the foot pod off.
7. Do not throw the replaced battery away with normal waste; take it to a
place where batteries are recycled.
2. Remove the black top cover from the foot
pod by lifting the cover from the rear. Use
the holder to remove the cover (see picture).
3. Open the battery cover carefully. Pull out the
battery case. Replace the old battery (AAA)
with a new one.
