The estimated
average battery life of the Polar Wrist Receiver is 1 year in normal
use (2h/ day, 7 days a week). However, because the battery is
inserted at the factory, the actual life of your first battery once
in your possession may be less than the estimated battery life. Note
also that an excessive use of the backlight and the beep signal will
shorten the battery life more rapidly.
Refer to your User's Manual for the estimated
average battery life of your model. If you have lost ot misplaced your manual, it can be downloaded from the link to the left of this page.
Do not open the Polar Wrist Receiver yourself.
