3. YOUR DAILY ACTIVITY  
Activity  
Wear the FA20 on your wrist to measure your physical activity  
continuously 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. All you need to do is  
wear it, no button presses required. The FA20 gives you continuous  
feedback on your daily activity, and makes monitoring your activity  
level easy.  
To promote and maintain health, regular physical activity - such as  
brisk walking - should be performed at least 30 minutes every day or  
most days of the week.  
The health benefits are, for instance, better cardiovascular condition  
and blood pressure control, and improved glucose tolerance and  
bone health. Increased physical activity also helps control weight  
and promote psychological well-being.

appearance of the low battery indicator will  
remain active.  
To change the battery:  
1. Open the battery cover with a coin by turning it  
from CLOSE to OPEN.  
2. Remove the battery cover and lift the battery  
(CR2025) out carefully with a suitably sized  
small rigid stick or bar. This can be a toothpick  
or small screwdriver. However, a non-metal tool  
is preferable. Be careful not to damage the  
metal sound element (*) or the grooves.  
3. Insert a new battery with the positive (+) side  
outwards.  
4. Replace the old sealing ring with a new one,  
fitting it snugly in the cover groove to ensure  
water resistance.  
5. Put the cover back on and turn it clockwise to  
CLOSE.  
6. Re-enter the basic settings. For further

ENGLISH  
When handling a new, fully charged battery, avoid  
clasping it with a metal or electrically-conducting  
tool (e.g. tweezers). This may short-circuit the  
battery, causing it to discharge rapidly. Usually,  
momentary short circuits don't damage the  
battery, but may decrease the capacity and thus  
the lifetime of the battery.

Troubleshooting  
If you don't know where your are in the menu,  
press and hold BACK until the time is displayed.  
If the battery of the wrist unit must be replaced,  
we recommend you service your device at an  
authorized Polar Service Center only. This is  
especially necessary to ensure that the guarantee  
remains valid and is not affected by incorrect  
repair procedures performed by an unauthorized  
agent. Polar Service will test your FA20 for water  
resistance after battery replacement, and make a  
full check of the device.  
If there are no reactions to any buttons or if the  
display is behaving abnormally, reset the wrist unit  
by pressing four buttons (UP, DOWN, BACK and  
LIGHT) simultaneously for four seconds. The  
activity log and all other settings except time and  
date will be saved.  
If the animation on the display is not moving while  
you are, make sure you are recording, see "Start  
Training", then move effectively and fast enough  
for the animation to move. Too slow or too careful  
movement may also stop the animation, as such  
movement is not considered beneficial enough.  
If the display is blank, the FA20 may be in battery  
saving mode, as it is dispatched from the factory.
