After battery change, display only shows "0000"

Just changed battery in Polar F6, now display shows in bottom left corner "0000". I can do an "Internal test" but nothing works. No time, no heart rate, nothing. What can I do?

Hi cobbie,

It is a good idea to get a watch repair guy to change it for you. They have the tools and experience to do a good job and they seldom charge more than $15-20 to do it for you. The watch casing generally needs to be cleaned, and often the gasket replaced to maintain water tightness.

If you live in the US, you can get a mail order service done here on the watch for $19 that also includes watertight testing, and the job done by experts that do them everyday. If you are outside the US, get back to me and I will find someone close to you.

regards
robotek

Hello,

It sounds like most of you have the heart rate set to display in % of max heart rate. Most Polar products have the option of heart rate in BPM(beats per minute) or percentage of max.

If you look at the display during the exercise, you will see a % icon. You can turn it off in by hitting the back button and go down to HR view settings.

Hope this helps.

Make sure you don't have the battery in upside down. The large outside case of a button cell is the +positive side.

Like most makers, they recommend that you have batteries changed at one of there service centers (to retain the waterproof seal.

Some people have problems when refitting the backs of watches and come onto this site to find out how they can get their watch going again. The cost saving does not seem worth the risk of damaging your watch. If your watch is still under warranty, then it will be invalidated by unauthorised repairs.

To find your near service center, go to Ploar.com and click on "support" and then "service" and "retail finder.

Changed battery and it doesn't detect transmitter. Everything else works and the transmitter gets detected by our treadmill, so I know it works.?
Transmitter Battery
The estimated average battery life span of the transmitter is 2500 hours of use. If you suspect that the transmitter battery
has run out, contact your authorized Polar Service Center for a replacement transmitter. Polar recycles used transmitters;;;

Can you change the battery in the chest strap for polar f6
There are two types of straps for Polar:

1) hard rubber/ solid - These can not have the battery changed.

2) soft strap with connector in middle - these you can change the battery.

If you have the soft strap, it will have a small hard around 3 inch long block that "snaps" onto the strap to connect it. These have a battery compartment. Turn it around and you will see the outline for the battery compartment. These are not always easy to open, and the batteries are a little harder to find. Take it into any watch repair and they should be able to pop a new battery in for you pretty easy.

There is a link on my tips and tricks page to get manuals for Polar products, the T-31 wearlink is the product we are talking about, it has the how to change the battery and battery type.

I tried to change the F6 battery, but after putting all together I'm haveing a spare part. It's a small clip of the same metal that keeps the case toghetner. Do you have any idea where I could try to put...
The Polar watches are not designed to be taken apart. It is a common misconception to think of them as watches and not mini computers.

The best case scenario is too send your watch and clip into a Polar Authorized Service center. Polar headquarters are in Finland and their should be a close center for you in Oslo.

Visit www.polar.fi to find your local service center.

Another thing, when you change the battery yourself the watch loses it's seal and is not watertight anymore. Polar uses a special vaccum chamber to repressurize the seal to maintain watertightness.
