1.Carefully wash the transmitter with a mild soap and water solution.

2.Rinse it with pure water.

3.Dry the transmitter carefully with a soft towel.

4.Keep the wrist receiver clean and wipe off any moisture.

5.Store the heart rate monitor in a clean and dry place. Dirt impairs the elasticity and functioning of the transmitter.

Sweat and moisture can keep the electrodes wet and the transmitter activated, which shortens battery life.

The combined impact of moisture and intense abrasion may cause a black color to come off the transmitter's surface, which might stain light-colored clothes.
