12. IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Caring for Your Product
Like any electronic device, the Polar training computer should be treated with care. The suggestions below
will help you fulfil guarantee obligations and enjoy this product for many years to come.
Training computer
Keep your training computer clean. Use a damp paper towel to wipe dirt from the training computer. To
maintain the water resistance, do not wash the training computer with a pressure washer. Do not immerse
the training computer in water. Never use alcohol or any abrasive material such as steel wool or cleaning
chemicals.
After each time of using the USB port of the training computer, check visually that there is no hair, dust
or other dirt on the sealing surface area of the lid/back case. Gently wipe to remove any dirt. Do not use
any sharp tools or equipment for cleaning, which could cause scratches to the plastic parts.
Not suitable for bathing or swimming. Protected against wash splashes and raindrops. Do not immerse the
training computer in water. Using the training computer in excessive rainfall may cause interference on GPS
reception.
Operating temperatures are -10 °C to +50 °C / +14 °F to +122 °F.
If you use the RC3 GPS unit in extreme conditions (high humidity and big temperature changes), some
water might condensate inside the unit. This does not damage the unit and water will evaporate after a
while. If you want to speed up the evaporation, open the USB lid to ventilate the unit. Please remember to
close the USB lid properly afterwards to secure waterproofness.
Heart rate sensor
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 (eg. 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.
Check the washing instructions on the label of the strap.
CS speed sensor, CS cadence sensor and s3+ stride sensor
Clean the sensors with a mild soap and water solution and rinse them with clean water. To maintain the
water resistance, do not wash the sensors with a pressure washer. Do not immerse the CS speed sensor,
CS cadence sensor or s3+ stride sensor in water. Never use alcohol or any abrasive material such as steel
wool or cleaning chemicals.
Avoid hard hits to the sensors, as these may damage the sensor units.
