F. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your Polar heart rate monitor is a high-tech instrument
of superior design and workmanship and should be
treated with care. The suggestions below will help you
fulfill the guarantee obligations and enjoy this product
for many years to come.
Taking Care of Your Polar Heart Rate Monitor
• Wash the transmitter regularly after use with a mild soap and
water solution. Dry it carefully after washing with soft towel.
• Wash the elastic strap in cold water and detergent and then
hang it up to dry.
• Never store the transmitter wet. Sweat and moisture can keep
its electrodes wet and the transmitter activated, which
shortens the battery life.
• Store your Polar heart rate monitor in a cool and dry place. Do
not store it in any kind of non-breathing material, such as a
plastic bag or a wet sports bag.
• Do not bend or stretch the transmitter. This can damage the
electrodes.
• Do not dry the transmitter in any other way than with a towel.
Hard-handed handling can damage the electrodes.
