CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your Polar Heart Rate Monitor is a high-tech instrument of superior design and workmanship and should be treated with care. The suggestions below will help you fulfill the warranty obligations and enjoy this product for many years to come.

TAKING CARE OF YOUR POLAR HEART RATE MONITOR

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

Never store the Polar 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 Polar transmitter. This may damage the electrodes.

Keep your Polar Heart Rate Monitor out of extreme cold (below -10 °C/ 14 °F) and heat (above 50 °C/122 °F).

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

POLAR PROTRAINER XT RECEIVER

The estimated average battery life of the Polar Protrainer XT receiver is 1 year in normal use (1h/day, 7 days a week). However, because the battery is inserted at the factory, the actual life of your first battery once in your possession may be less than the estimated battery life. Note also that excessive use of the backlight and the alarm signals will use the battery more rapidly.

Do not open the Polar wrist receiver yourself. To ensure the water resistance properties and the use of qualified components, the wrist receiver battery should be replaced only by a person authorised by Polar Electro Oy. At the same time a full periodic check of the Polar Heart Rate Monitor will be done. Service for detailed instructions.
