Display Battery
If the digits on the Display are faded, and you can not establish a connection to the
Armband, then the battery may require replacing. The Display comes equipped
with a replaceable CR-2032 coin cell battery with an expected life of 6-12 months
under normal use. When the battery needs to be replaced, it is recommended that
you bring the Display to a jeweler or watch vendor. To replace the battery yourself:
1. Make sure you have a fresh CR-2032 coin cell battery, a #0 size Phillips head
screwdriver, and a soft cloth.
2. Remove the Display unit from the clip.
3. Turn the unit over onto a soft cloth, revealing the underside, and remove the four
small screws attaching the metal back plate to the Display. Only remove the
screws on the metal back plate, do not remove the screws on the edge of the
Display.
4. Remove the old battery.
5. Press any button on the display for 10 seconds.
6. Place the new battery with the (+) side facing up.
7. Ensure that the black o-ring gasket remains properly seated in the groove to
provide a watertight seal.
8. Reattach the back plate, with the text facing up. Ensure that the arrow that says
up (on the inside of the metal back) points towards the top of the device.
9. Once attached, turn the unit over and press any button to wake the Display.
10. Dispose of the old battery in accordance with local, state, federal, or country
specific regulations.
Note: Once the battery is replaced, you will need to reset the Display. Simultane-
ously press all 4 buttons, “MODE” + “VIEW” + “LIGHT” + “RESET TRIP” for 5
seconds or
more. The Display will turn on and the back-light will flash. Follow the instructions
for “Using the Display” on page
8 to synchronize again with the Armband.
