I finally bought this HRM. Somehow, I managed to set it to a foreign language. Now I can not reset it to English. I tried downloading the manual from their web site with no luck, Can anyone tell me how to reset it to English?

    If there are no reactions to any buttons or the FT4 displays unusual readings, reset the training computer by pressing four buttons (UP, DOWN, BACK and LIGHT) simultaneously for four seconds. The display will go blank for a moment. Press OK and Please enter basic settings will shortly be displayed. Enter time and date. With long press BACK the display returns to time of day view. All other settings except time and date will be saved.

    Here is how to reset the setings from www.polarusa.com

    Hope that helps!

    Thanks for your help. I had to call their customer service. Here are instructions to change the language.

    From the time of day, press the upper right button two times.
    Then press the middle right button.
    Press the upper right button once and press the middle right button.
    Press the upper right button once and press the middle right button.
    Use the up/down right button to scroll to the language you need and press the middle right button.

    Thank you so much for sharing. I just bought my new Polar and had been working all day to get it back to English language. Your instructions were great!

    How do you guys like it ?

    I ordered the Polar FT4 yesterday, I didn't do too much research, just saw that it has great ratings on Amazon.

    I wanted to save this in case i have the same issue!
    Any tips, etc would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!
