Care and

Maintenance

Your Polar Heart Rate Monitor is a high-tech instrument of experienced 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 Transmitter regularly after use with a mild soap and water solution. Dry it carefully after washing.

•Never store the Polar Transmitter wet. Sweat and moisture can keep its electrodes wet and the Polar 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 Transmitter. This may damage the electrodes.

•Keep your Polar Heart Rate Monitor out of extreme cold (below -10 °C/14 °F) and heat (above 50 °C/122 °F).

•Do not expose the Polar Heart Rate Monitor to direct sunlight for extended periods, such as by leaving it in a car.

•Do not dry the transmitter in any other way than with a towel. Hard-handed handling may damage the electrodes.
