ENGLISH
Your Polar heart rate monitor is a high-tech instrument and should
be treated with care. The suggestions below will help you fulfill the
guarantee obligations.
Store your heart rate monitor in a cool and dry place. Do not store it
in a damp environment, in non-breathable material (i.e. plastic bag)
or with conductive material such as a wet towel.
Service
During the two-year guarantee/warranty period we recommend that
you have service done by an authorized Polar Service Center only.
The warranty does not cover damage or consequential damage
caused by service not authorized by Polar Electro.
Taking Care of Your Heart Rate Monitor
• Keep your unit clean. Clean it with a mild soap and water
solution. Dry it carefully with a soft towel. Never use alcohol or
any abrasive material such as steel wool or cleaning chemicals.
• Keep your heart rate monitor out of extreme cold and heat.
The operating temperatures are 14 °F to 122 °F/ -10 °C to 50 °C.
• Do not expose the heart rate monitor to direct sunlight for
extended periods, such as by leaving it in a car.
Wrist Unit Battery
The estimated average battery life of the wrist unit is one and half
year in normal use. Please note that excessive use of the backlight
and the alarm signals drain the battery more rapidly. The
symbol
indicates low battery and that the battery should be replaced.
Do not open the wrist unit yourself. To ensure the water resistance
properties and the use of qualified components, the wrist unit
battery should be replaced by an authorized Polar Service Center
only. At the same time, a full periodic check of the Polar heart rate
monitor will be done.
Note:
• If the
symbol is displayed and you have switched the alarm on,
the alarm will still activate one more time. After that the alarm
symbol
disappears. If you try to reset the alarm, the wrist
unit displays Battery Low. You cannot reset the alarm until the
battery is changed.
• In cold conditions the low battery indicator may appear,
but the indicator is deactivated when you return to a normal
temperature.
• Water resistance cannot be guaranteed after unauthorized
service.
Taking Care of Your WearLink Transmitter
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).
