Batteries
The RCX5 training computer and the
WearLink®+ Hybrid transmitter both have a user
changeable battery. To change the battery
yourself, please follow the instructions carefully
as instructed in chapter Change Batteries
Yourself.
Prior to changing the batteries, please note the
following:
• The low battery indicator is displayed when
only 10-15% of the battery capacity is left.
• Excessive use of the backlight drains the
battery more rapidly.
• The backlight and sound are automatically
turned off when the low battery indicator is
displayed. Any alarms set prior to the
appearance of the low battery indicator will
remain active.
• In cold conditions, the low battery indicator
may appear, but will disappear when the
temperature rises.
If you train in cold conditions (-20 °C to -10 °C / -4
°F to 14 °F ) we recommend that you wear the
training computer under the sleeve of your jacket,
directly on your skin.
Change Batteries Yourself
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 USA the
sealing ring/battery kits are also available at

heart conditions, blood pressure, psychological
conditions, asthma, breathing, etc., as well as
some energy drinks, alcohol, and nicotine may
ENGLISH
Important Information 21
also affect heart rate.
It is important to be sensitive to your body’s
responses during exercise. If you feel
unexpected pain or excessive fatigue when
exercising, it is recommended that you stop
the exercise or continue at a lighter
intensity.
Notice to individuals with pacemakers,
defibrillators or other implanted electronic
devices. Individuals who have a pacemaker use
the Polar training computer at their own risk.

FCC rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device
may not cause harmful interference,
and (2) This device must accept
any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired
operation.
Note: This equipment has been tested
and found to comply with the limits for
a Class B digital device, pursuant to part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates,
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular
installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference
by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving 1.
antenna.
Increase the separation between the 2.
equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on 3.
a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced 4.
radio/TV technician for help.
This product emits radio frequency energy,
but the radiated output power of this
device is far below the FCC and IC radio
frequency exposure limits. This equipment
complies with FCC and IC RF radiation
exposure limits forth for an uncontrolled
environment. Nevertheless, the device
should be used in such a manner that
the potential for human contact with
the antenna during normal operation is
minimized.
Caution! Changes or modifi cations not
expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
