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 warranty 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.
• 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
sports bag if it is wet.
• Do not bend or stretch the transmitter. This may
damage it.
• Don’t dry the transmitter in any other way than
with a towel. Hard-handed handling may damage
the electrodes.
• Keep your Polar Heart Rate Monitor out of
extreme cold (below -10 ºC / 14 ºF) and heat
(above 50 ºC / 122 ºF).
• Do not expose the Polar Heart Rate Monitor to
direct sunlight for extended periods, such as by
leaving it in a car.
• You can wash the Polar WearLink strap in a
washing machine at +40° C / 104° F. We
recommend that you use a washing pouch.
• We recommend that you wash the strap after
each time you have used it in pool water with a
high chlorine content.
• Do not spin-dry the strap!
• Do not put the strap in a dryer!
• Do not iron the strap!
