Bottom line with these things is that QC at Polar is bad. They are an unreliable piece of kit. Im on my second.
So:-
Buy local and sent it straight back if faulty in any way.
Only accept a new replacement.
Send it back again.
And again until they get it right or you find a better brand.
They'll soon learn.

These computers are complete crap. Mine is doing the pausing in auto start function mode too because of something being wrong with the signal or something. It's rubbish. And you have to send it out for them to figure out the problem. What garbage.

I finally gave up on my CS200 (see my previous posts - I was pretty happy with it). I stopped showing distance where it should and I was only able to get the distance at the end of my rides.

I gave in to the realisation that I don't use it properly - I don't use the HRM as I should and while it had lots of good info - calories etc - so what!

I've gone back to a Cateye Astrale 8 for my three bikes.
I had one years ago for 14k kms and it was faultless apart from wet contacts in really heavy rain(CS200 never had a problem with rain ).

I've sold about 30 Astrale8s and never had a complaint either.

I'm very happy with just current speed, distance and cadence as I ride
