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 guarantee 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. Hard-
handed handling may damage the electrodes.
• Keep your Polar heart rate monitor out of extreme cold and heat.
The operating temperature is -10 ºC to 50 ºC/ 14 ºF to 122 ºF.
• Do not expose the Polar heart rate monitor to direct sunlight for extended
periods, such as by leaving it in a car.
