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 Polar Coded 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 the electrodes.
• Keep your Polar Heart Rate Monitor out of extreme cold (below 14°F/ -
10°C) and heat (above 122°F/ 50°C).
• Do not expose the Polar Heart Rate Monitor to direct sunlight for
extended periods, for example by leaving it in a car.
• Do not dry the transmitter in any other way than with a towel. Rough
handling may damage the electrodes.
