Fitness Maintenace Pty Ltd is the only authorised Polar Service Centre for Australia.

Polar recommend any servicing be performed by an authorised service centre (essential when in the warranty period). It is NOT recommended you service the product yourself or by a non-authorised service repairer.

However, if out of the warranty period you decide to get the Polar heart rate monitor serviced by a non-authorised Polar Service Centre (ie. a jeweller/watchmaker), verify that:

1. they are capable of servicing the monitor before proceeding (it is not a watch)
2. they will warranty any they work they perform
3. insist that it is properly pressure tested to at least 20 metres after servicing

Pursuit Performance will not warranty any faults after servicing being performed by a non-authorised Polar Service Centre. Please have your Polar product only serviced by an authorised service centre during the 2 year factory international guarantee period.

Basic servicing information

Before sending your Polar Heart Rate Monitor to Fitness Maintenance for service, please read the following information and related links.

Check List

1. Is the Proof of purchase enclosed from an Authorised Polar Retailer - (ie. a copy of a receipt or similar (not just the guarantee card) is mandatory if claiming a factory warranty where no costs/charges apply to return the repair within Australia). If claiming warranty on a product outside Australia, please send to your closest Polar service centre with appropriate proof of purchase.

Note. Polar do not warranty the battery which is described in the "Limited Polar International Guarantee" section of the User Manual.

If purchased overseas or on the internet, we need proof from the Polar distributor in the country of purchase that the reseller is authorised to sell Polar products. More information

2. Have you read through the check list (link below) or the information contained in the Polar User's Manual. Note: If you have lost your user's manual, it can be downloaded FREE from the link on the left of this page.

You can also reference the information contained in the Frequently Asked Questions section - link to the left of this page.

   

If there are NO FAULTS FOUND and it is an obvious user error due to not referencing the check list or the user's manual, a basic charge of $18.50 will apply to cover service time and return freight. Please contact your retailer or Pursuit Performance for advice before returning under factory warranty.

3. Have you completed all details on the Service Fault Report and included it with the repair. A SERVICE REPAIR FORM is available which contains all the information we require).

4. Have you clearly printed your name, address and phone number on the outside of the packaging - see the sending instructions link below.

5. We recommend that both the receiver (watch) and transmitter are sent together when either is serviced. When a battery is replaced in the receiver, the transmitter will be tested Free of Charge.
