IMPORTANT INFORMATION
BATTERIES
The Polar V650 training device has an internal, rechargable battery. Rechargeable batteries have a limited number of charge cycles. You can charge and discharge the battery over 300 times before a notable decrease in its capacity. The number of charge cycles also varies according to use and operating conditions.
At the end of the working life of the product Polar encourages you to minimize possible effects of waste on the environment and human health by following local waste disposal regulations and, where possible, utilizing separate collection of electronic devices. Do not dispose of this product as unsorted municipal waste.
The Polar Bluetooth Smart® heart rate sensor has a user changeable battery. To change the battery yourself, please follow the instructions carefully as instructed in chapter
Change the Heart Rate Sensor Battery
.
The batteries for the speed sensor Bluetooth Smart® , and cadence sensor Bluetooth Smart® cannot be replaced. Polar has designed the sensors to be sealed in order to maximize mechanical longevity and reliability. The sensors have long-life batteries inside. To purchase a new sensor contact your authorized Polar
Service Center or retailer.
Keep the batteries away from children. If swallowed, contact a doctor immediately. Batteries should be disposed of properly according to local regulations.
CHANGE THE HEART RATE SENSOR BATTERY
To change the battery of the heart rate sensor yourself, carefully follow the instructions below:
When changing the battery, make sure the sealing ring is not damaged, in which case you should replace it with a new one. You can purchase the sealing ring/battery kits at well-equipped Polar retailers and authorized
Polar Services. In the USA and Canada, the additional sealing rings are available at authorized Polar Service
Centers. In the USA the sealing ring/battery kits are also available at www.shoppolar.com
.
When handling a new, fully charged battery, avoid clasp-like contact, i.e. simultaneously from both sides, with metal or electrically conducting tools, like tweezers. This may short circuit the battery, causing it to discharge more rapidly. Typically, short circuiting does not damage the battery, but it may decrease the capacity and the lifetime of the battery.
61
1. Lever the battery cover open by using the clip on the strap.
2. Remove the old battery from the battery cover with a suitable sized small rigid stick or bar, such as a toothpick. A non-metal tool is preferable. Be careful not to damage the battery cover.
3. Insert a new battery (CR 2025) inside the cover with the negative (-) side facing up.
4. Align the ledge on the battery cover with the slot on the connector and press the battery cover back into place.
You should hear a snap.
Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
PRECAUTIONS
The Polar V650 shows your performance indicators. The training device is designed to indicate the level of physiological strain and recovery during and after an exercise session. It measures heart rate, speed and distance. It also measures cycling cadence when used with a cadence sensor. No other use is intended or implied.
The training device should not be used for obtaining environmental measurements that require professional or industrial precision.
INTERFERENCE DURING TRAINING
Electromagnetic Interference and Training Equipment
Disturbance may occur near electrical devices. Also WLAN base stations may cause interference when training with the training device. To avoid erratic reading or misbehavior, move away from possible sources of disturbance.
62
MINIMIZING RISKS WHEN TRAINING
Training may include some risk. Before beginning a regular training program, it is recommended that you answer the following questions concerning your health status. If you answer yes to any of these questions, we recommend that you consult a doctor before starting any training program.
• Have you been physically inactive for the past 5 years?
• Do you have high blood pressure or high blood cholesterol?
• Are you taking any blood pressure or heart medication?
• Do you have a history of breathing problems?
• Do you have symptoms of any disease?
• Are you recovering from a serious illness or medical treatment?
• Do you use a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device?
• Do you smoke?
• Are you pregnant?
Note that in addition to training intensity, medications for heart conditions, blood pressure, psychological conditions, asthma, breathing, etc., as well as some energy drinks, alcohol, and nicotine may also affect heart rate.
It is important to be sensitive to your body’s responses during training. If you feel unexpected pain or
excessive fatigue when training, it is recommended that you stop the training or continue at a lighter intensity.
Note! If you are using a pacemaker, you can use Polar products. In theory interference to pacemaker caused by Polar products should not be possible. In practice no reports exist to suggest anyone ever having experienced interference. We cannot however issue an official guarantee on our products' suitability with all pacemakers or other implanted devices due to the variety of devices available. If you have any doubts, or if you experience any unusual sensations while using Polar products, please consult your physician or contact the implanted electronic device manufacturer to determine safety in your case.
If you are allergic to any substance that comes into contact with your skin or if you suspect an allergic reaction due to using the product, check the listed materials in
Technical Specifications . To avoid any skin reaction to
63
the heart rate sensor, wear it over a shirt, but moisten the shirt well under the electrodes to ensure flawless operation.
The combined impact of moisture and intense abrasion may cause a black color to come off the heart rate sensor’s surface, possibly staining light-colored clothes. If you use perfume or insect repellent on your skin, you must ensure that it does not come into contact with the training device or the heart rate sensor.
