S+D Sensor Battery Life and Replacement
The batteries in the S+D Sensor will last approximately 12 hours.
The S+D Sensor itself does not indicate the condition of its
batteries, except if the batteries are completely exhausted (as
noted in the section “Operating the S+D Sensor”). Instead, this
information is broadcast to your watch along with your perform-
ance data. Refer to the user manual for your watch for the proce-
dure to check the S+D Sensor’s battery level.
Replace batteries
• Remove the back cover of the S+D Sensor case. Lift and rotate
the latch ring a 1/4-turn counterclockwise to release cover.
• Remove old batteries and insert three new AAA batteries.
Observe the

markings inside the battery compartment to
ensure the new batteries are properly aligned.
• Replace S+D Sensor cover.
Maintenance
Rinse the S+D Sensor and its strap in fresh water periodically to
avoid buildup of materials that can interfere with the measure-
ment of your speed and distance.
