•Wash the transmitter regularly after use with a mild soap and water solution. Dry it carefully after washing.

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

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

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

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