Heart rate monitor: Keep your heart rate
monitor clean. Clean it with a mild soap and
water solution and rinse it with clean water. Do
not immerse the heart rate monitor in water. Dry
it carefully with a soft towel. Never use alcohol
or any abrasive material such as steel wool or
cleaning chemicals.
Connector: Detach the connector from the strap
after every use and dry the connector with a soft
towel. Clean the connector with a mild soap and
water solution when needed. Never use alcohol
or any abrasive material (eg. steel wool or
cleaning chemicals).
Strap: Rinse the strap under running water after
every use and hang to dry. Clean the strap
gently with a mild soap and water solution when
needed. Do not use moisturizing soaps, because
they can leave residue on the strap. Do not
soak, iron, dry clean or bleach the strap. Do not
stretch the strap or bend the electrode areas
sharply.
Check the label on your strap to see if it
is machine washable. Never put the strap
or the connector in a dryer!
Dry and store the strap and the connector
separately, to maximize the heart rate sensor
battery lifetime. Keep your heart rate monitor
and heart rate sensor in a cool and dry place.
Do not store them in a damp environment, in
non-breathable material (a plastic bag or a
sports bag) nor with conductive material (a wet
towel). Do not expose them to direct sunlight for
extended periods, such as by leaving it in a car
or mounted on the bike mount.
