Taking Care of Your Polar Heart Rate Monitor

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

Never store the transmitter wet. Sweat and moisture can keep its electrodes wet and the transmitter activated, which shortens the battery life.

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.

Do not 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 and heat. The operating temperature is 14 °F to 122 °F/ -10 °C to 50 °C.

Do not expose the Polar heart rate monitor to direct sunlight for extended periods, such as by leaving it in a car.

Do not immerse the speed sensor in water.

Avoid hard hits to the speed sensor as these may cause damage.
