Caring for Your Heart Rate Sensor
The heart rate sensor is a high-tech instrument that
should be handled with care. Follow the caring
instructions to ensure reliable measurement and to
maximize the life span of the heart rate sensor. The
following instructions will help you fulfill guarantee
obligations.
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
(e.g. 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.
Dry and store the strap and the connector separately
to maximize the heart rate sensor battery lifetime.
Keep the heart rate sensor in a cool and dry place. Do
not store the heart rate sensor wet in non-breathing
material, such as a sports bag, to prevent snap
oxidation. Do not expose the heart rate sensor to direct
sunlight for extended periods.
Check the label on your strap to see if it is machine
washable. Never put the strap or the connector in a dryer!
