CHECK LIST

Before you return your Polar Heart Rate Monitor for service, please check the following:

1. Is the transmitter being worn correctly ?

The Polar logo should be right side up and the transmitter should be flat against the skin. The elastic strap should be adjusted for a snug and comfortable fit.

Regular washing with mild soap and water solution, followed by thorough drying, will ensure that good conductivity is retained.
