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