Taking care of your Polar running/cycling computer
• Store your wrist unit and transmitter 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. Sweat and moisture can keep the transmitters
electrodes wet and the transmitter activated, which shortens the battery
life.
• Keep your wrist unit and transmitter out of extreme cold (below -10 ºC /
14 ºF) and heat (above +50 ºC / 122 ºF).
• Do not expose the wrist unit and transmitter to direct sunlight for
extended periods, such as by leaving it in a car.
• If you use insect repellent on your skin, you must ensure that it does not
come into contact with the transmitter!
• Detach the connector from the strap when not in use.
• Clean the connector regularly after use with a mild soap and water solution.
• Never use alcohol or any abrasive material such as steel wool or cleaning
chemicals on any part of the transmitter.
• Do not dry the connector in any other way than with a towel. Rough
handling may damage it.
• Never put the connector in a washing machine or a drier!
