3. IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Caring for Your Training Computer
Wrist Unit and Transmitter: Keep in a cool
and dry place. Do not store in a damp
environment, in non-breathable material (a
plastic bag or a sports bag) or with conductive
material (a wet towel). Do not expose to direct
sunlight for extended periods. Clean with a mild
soap and water solution, dry with towel. Never
use alcohol or any abrasive material (steel wool
or cleaning chemicals). Do not bend or stretch
the transmitter. This may damage the
electrodes. Do not press the button of your
training computer under running water.
Elastic Strap: Rinse with water after every use.
Wash after swimming. If used regularly, wash at
least once every three weeks in a washing
machine at 40°C / 104°F. Use a washing
pouch. Do not soak, and use neither detergent
with bleach nor fabric softener. Do not
dry-clean, spin-dry or iron.
Battery
Transmitter Battery: If you suspect that the
transmitter battery has discharged, contact your
authorized Polar Service Center for a
replacement transmitter. Polar recycles used
transmitters.
Training Computer Battery: Do not open the
training computer yourself. We recommend that
you have the battery replaced by an authorized
Polar Service Center. They test your training
computer for water resistance after battery
replacement.
The low battery indicator is displayed when
10-15% of the battery capacity is left.
Excessive use of the backlight drains the
battery more rapidly.
In cold conditions, the low battery indicator
may appear, but will disappear when the
temperature rises.
