7. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Caring for Your Product
Like any electronic device, your Polar cycling computer
should be treated with care. The suggestions below will
help you to fulfi ll guarantee obligations and enjoy this
product for many years to come.
Detach the transmitter connector from the strap and
rinse the strap under running water after every use. Dry
the connector with a soft towel. Never use alcohol or any
abrasive material (steel wool or cleaning chemicals).
Wash the strap regularly in a washing machine at
40ºC/104ºF or at least after every fi fth use. This ensures
reliable measurement and maximizes the life span of the
transmitter. Use a washing pouch. Do not soak, spin-dry,
iron, dry clean or bleach the strap. Do not use detergent
with bleach or fabric softener. Never put the transmitter
connector in the washing machine or dryer!
Dry and store the strap and connector separately, to
maximize the transmitter battery lifetime. Wash the strap
in a washing machine before long-term storage and always
after use in pool water with high chlorine content.
Keep your cycling computer, transmitter and sensors
in a cool and dry place. Do not keep them in a damp
environment, in non-breathable material (a plastic bag or
a sports bag) nor with conductive material (a wet towel).
The cycling computer, transmitter and sensors are water
resistant, and can be used in rainy weather. To maintain
the water resistance, do not wash the cycling computer
or the sensors with a pressure washer or sink them under
water. Do not expose to direct sunlight for extended periods
such as by leaving it in a car or mounted on the bike
mount.
Keep your cycling computer clean. Clean the cycling
computer and sensors with a mild soap and water solution
and rinse them with clean water. Do not immerse them
in water. Dry them carefully with a soft towel. Never use
alcohol or any abrasive material such as steel wool or
cleaning chemicals.
Avoid hard hits to the cycling computer, speed and cadence
sensors, as these may damage the sensor units.
