Caring of Your Product

Like any electronic device, the Polar cycling computer should be treated with care. The suggestions below will help you fulfill guarantee obligations and enjoy this product for many years to come.

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).

Wash the strap regularly in a washing machine at

40ºC/104ºF or at least after every fifth use. This ensures reliable measurement and maximizes the life span of the transmitter. Use a washing pouch. Do not soak, spin-dry, iron, dry clean or bleach the strap. Do not use detergent with bleach or fabric softener. Never put the transmitter connector in the washing machine or drier!

Dry and store the strap and connector separately, to

maximize the transmitter battery lifetime. Wash the strap in a washing machine before long-term storage and always after use in pool water with high chlorine content.

Keep your cycling computer, transmitter and sensors in a cool and dry place. Do not keep them in a damp environment, in non-breathable material (a plastic bag or a sports bag) nor with conductive material (a wet towel). The cycling computer, transmitter and sensors are water resistant, and can be used in rainy weather. To maintain the water resistance, do not wash the cycling computer or the sensors with a pressure washer or sink them under water. Do not expose to direct sunlight for extended periods such as by leaving it in a car or mounted on the bike mount.
