20 Most Recent Polar FS1 Unisex Heart Rate Monitor Watch Questions & Answers

Here is a video that shows the entire process of replacing the battery in the Polar fs1. It shows the little plate and where to place it.

You have to remove band in order to fit caseback back onto the watch. Insert pocket knife blade between band and case lug and pry inwards. This motion should release the band. It will be a lot more difficult to fit the band back on and you will probably need to buy springbar tool. Rate me plz.

Then it needs a new battery or some sort of repair. The button on the face turns the monitor on for use, if this doesn't work, then you need to replace something.

send your watch to an Authorized Polar Service Center, these are not designed to be user serviceable.

replace the battery on the chest belt and make sure its tight enough. another thing is that you need to wet the pads on the belt for it to work properly.

also I mentioned the battery, if the battery is low it may not have enought power to transmit unless you hold it near the watch.

You can get a copy of the user manual by going to their web site- link http://www.polarusa.com/us-en/support/downloads?product=&category=User+manuals.

Fill in your model name and download.

I have a problem solving checklist about getting Heart rate readings in my tips and tricks page that may be helpful.

#1) you have to make sure the strap is across your chest and contacting the skin directly
#2) you have to push the button on the front of your watch to turn it on.

After that it should read automatically, there is no trick to your watch.

On my tips and tricks page is a link to the user manual.

The trick with the FS1 is that you have to wait between button pushes. Don't try to skip ahead of the pace of the watch, it is slow to set anything. That is the rub with 1 button operations.

Push the button, wait for the prompt, enter the info, push the button, wait for the prompt, etc.

if after trying this it still doesn't work you will either need to take it back and exchange or send into polar. There is a warranty service available. Again that link is under my tips and tricks.

mcdevito75 here, Battery change is once every year or so, even if you changed thr battery now, you"d forget next year, I know I did. BEST BET, look for a small watch repair shop in your area for the peace of mind. Approx. cost, $10.00-- $15.00

Hello
You can change the battery in your polar f7 if the battery is worn out.
1. Insert the tip of a pen knife into the lifting point and lifting the back up. The back of the watch is only pressed into place and will come off easily this way.
2. Grab the small clip that is extending across the surface of the battery with a pair of tweezers. Slide the tweezers toward the end that hooks down into the watch. Pull the hook end of the clip out of the watch and remove the clip from the battery

3. Match the old battery with a new one at any electronic store. The store will be able to read the writing imprinted on the battery to make sure that you get the correct battery type for your heart monitor.

4. Press the new battery into the watch making sure that the writing on the battery is facing up.

5. Press the holding clip back into place. Handle the clip with tweezers only, since it is very thin and can be bent or lost easily. Once it is in place, press the back of the watch on.
GOODLUCK
