G. 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 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.
• 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.
• Do not dry the transmitter in any other way than with a towel.
Mishandling may damage the electrodes.
• Keep your Polar heart rate monitor out of extreme cold and heat. The
operating temperature is 14 ºF to 122 ºF/ -10 ºC to 50 ºC.
• Do not expose the Polar heart rate monitor to direct sunlight for
extended periods, such as by leaving it in a car.
