9. Care and Maintenance

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).
