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 Polar Transmitter regularly after use with a mild
soap and water solution. Rinse with pure water. Dry
carefully after washing.
• Never store the Polar Transmitter wet. Sweat and moisture
can keep its electrodes wet and the Polar Transmitter
activated, which shortens the battery life.
• Store your Polar Heart Rate Monitor in a cool and dry place.
• Do not bend or stretch the Polar Transmitter. This may
damage the electrodes.
• Keep your Polar Heart Rate Monitor out of extreme cold
(below -10 O C / 14 O F) and heat (above 50 O C / 122 O F).
• Do not expose the Polar Heart Rate Monitor to direct
sunlight for extended periods, such as by leaving it in a car.
