ENGLISH

Keep your training computer and sensors in a cool and dry place. Do not keep them in a damp environment, in non-breathable material (a plastic bag or a sports bag) nor with conductive material (a wet towel). Do not expose the training computer to direct sunlight for extended periods, such as by leaving it in a car or mounted on the bike mount.

It is recommended to store the training computer partially or fully charged. The battery slowly loses its charge when it is stored. If you are going to store the training computer for several months, it is recommended to recharge it after a few months. This will prolong the battery lifetime.

Dry and store the strap and the connector separately to maximize the heart rate sensor battery lifetime. Keep the heart rate sensor in a cool and dry place. To prevent snap oxidation, do not store the heart rate sensor wet in non-breathing material, such as a sports bag. Do not expose the heart rate sensor to direct sunlight for extended periods.
