6. 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 and enjoy the product for many years to come.

Taking Care of Your Polar Heart Rate Monitor

•Clean the transmitter regularly after use with a mild soap and water solution. Dry it carefully with a soft towel.

•Never store the transmitter wet. Sweat and moisture can keep its electrodes wet and the transmitter activated, which shortens the battery lifespan.

•Store your 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 transmitter. This may damage the electrodes.

•Do not dry the transmitter in any other way than with a towel. Mishandling may damage the electrodes.

•Keep your heart rate monitor out of extreme cold and heat. The operating temperature is 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.
