6. CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Caring for Your RS100

Like any electronic device, the Polar training 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 the transmitter 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 training computer and transmitter 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 training computer and transmitter are water resistant, and can be used in water activities. Do not expose the training computer to direct sunlight

for extended periods, such as by leaving it in a car or mounted on the bike mount.

Keep your training computer clean. To maintain the water resistance, do not wash the training computer with a pressure washer. Clean the training computer with a mild soap and water solution and rinse it with clean water. Do not immerse it in water. Dry it carefully with a soft towel. Never use alcohol or any abrasive material such as steel wool or cleaning chemicals.

Avoid hard hits to the training computer, as these may damage the sensor units.
