...THE BATTERY OF THE WRIST RECEIVER
MUST BE REPLACED?
We recommend having all service done by authorised Polar
Service. Especially during the warranty period this is
necessary to keep the warranty of the whole Polar Heart Rate
Monitor valid. Polar Service will test your Wrist Receiver for
water resistance after battery replacement and make a full
periodic check of the complete Polar Heart Rate Monitor.
