Servicing your Polar heart rate monitor
INFORMATION for AUSTRALIAN POLAR SERVICE ONLY




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.
