Maintaining the Transmitter Belt

Clean the chest belt regularly with mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly - residual sweat and moisture keep the transmitter active and drain the battery in the transmitter. Do not use abrasives or chemicals such as steel wool or alcohol for cleaning, as they can damage the electrodes permanently.
