This unit works really well, however, the numbers it comes up with for amount of calories burned is faulty. I wouldn't buy it again

I just doubled checked, and yes the Polar Flowlink will work with your ft4. I've had mine for quite some time and it works great. You will have to down load Polar's link on the internet to get everything to work together, very easy to do. Hope this helps.

Call the customer support number. I hope it has improved. When I owned this unit, the customer service was terrible. This is one of the reasons I finally got rid of the unit. Bad unit reliability, bad design, and terrible customer service made for a bad ownership experience. Good luck!

I don't think I would waste my money on this particular unit. I have 3 of them, the first two I bought a couple of years ago and they work well, but the one I bought in Feb has been sen back 3 times and I got it back again and it burned up again after two uses. So for over two months I have not had something i paid for then spent $50 the first time to ship to them and back again. They have paid the last two times, but I still am out of over $200 and still have no system

I just live chatted with Polar...a T31 can replace a T34 as long is it is non-coded.

I own one of those units. But I have not found manufacture warrenties worth much. I would look to the manual that came with the unit. I have the one I use in a rental, and the manul is there as well.

I've had my LR for 28 months. I've had to replace the entire unit twice, plus the globes three times because customer service insisted the problems had to be with the globe. They were not, and I wasted weeks having to pack up and exchange parts. In my experience, it is rare for the unit to work problem-free for much longer than a year at a time. Fortunately (aside from issues of inconvenience) those difficulties were covered under the warranty. My current LR (replaced in July of last year and no longer under warranty) is not working. Following are the options quoted to me in an email from customer service; as you can see, none of them are inexpensive. Each option is carefully calibrated so that the most expensive one is also the 'safest' value in terms of warranty. "It sound as if you are having a problem with the position sensor. Unfortunately, there really is no way for you to fix that at home. At this point we would recommend that we repair your base unit. The cost to repair is typically $46 to $104 plus return shipping cost of $35. Another option is our complete Tune-Up for $139 which includes the return shipping costs. With our Tune-Up option our technicians will replace the motor, wiring harness, circuit board, carbon filter and seal strips. In addition to the standard replacement items, our technicians will perform a 7 point inspection and replace any other worn or damaged components. And a final option would be to buy a new or reconditioned base with an existing customer discount of 15%. With the discount, a new base would be $203.15, and a reconditioned base with the discount would be $160.65. *Prices include shipping. Both new and reconditioned bases come with the standard 18 month full warranty."

no to all three questions. Mine would not record sub zero temperatures, even the replacement

I can tell my has worked this way. Also, if I ever have to replace the unit, I would go to the local store and just buy it. There are so many more options out there now then there use to be. Good luck.

We have been very happy with the unit and are considering getting another one. I haven't used other makes/models so I can't give you a comparison.

Hi - Like you, I really like this unit. My I suggest contacting the mfg. If anyone can help it should be them. Best of luck!

I would definitely think the unit is defective. I mistakenly left the battery in over the brutal winter and the unit still worked fine. I did change battery out as always

Wish I could answer that but we have a different system. I was replacing an existing remote with the same model. I suggest contacting Polaris and asking for options for contol units.

If I remember right I heard a few reviews says the same thing, obviouslly return it to the company for a replacement. You could always check for proper power and ground connections, but shy of that not much else you can do, all internal. I have 3 of these for years and no issues, including a motion one.
