5. IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Caring for Your Heart Rate Monitor
Clean with a mild soap and water solution, dry with towel. Do not press buttons under water. Never use
alcohol or any abrasive material (steel wool or cleaning chemicals). Keep in a cool and dry place. Do not
store in a damp environment, in non-breathable material (a plastic bag or a sports bag) nor with
conductive material (a wet towel). Do not expose to direct sunlight for extended periods.
Washing Instructions for WearLink Transmitter
Detach the transmitter connector from the strap after every use. Rinse the strap under running water. Dry
the connector with a soft towel. Never use alcohol or any abrasive material (steel wool or cleaning
chemicals).
Wash the strap regularly in a washing machine at 40ºC/104ºF or at least after every fifth use. This ensures
reliable measurement and maximizes the life span of the transmitter. Use a washing pouch. Do not soak,
spin-dry, iron, dry clean or bleach the strap. Do not use detergent with bleach or fabric softener. Never put
the transmitter connector in the washing machine or dryer!
Dry and store the strap and the transmitter connector separately to maximize the transmitter battery
lifetime. Wash the strap in a washing machine before long-term storage and always after use in pool water
with high chlorine content.

Changing Batteries
The Polar Move heart rate monitor and the WearLink
When changing the battery, make sure the sealing ring is not damaged, in which case you should replace
it with a new one. You can purchase the sealing ring/battery kits at well-equipped Polar retailers and
authorized Polar Services. In the USA and Canada, the additional sealing rings are available at authorized
Polar Service Centers. In the USA the sealing ring/battery kits are also available at www.shoppolar.com.
• The low battery indicator is displayed when 10-15% of the battery capacity is left.
• Excessive use of the backlight drains the battery more rapidly.
• In cold conditions, the low battery indicator may appear, but will disappear when the temperature rises.
• The backlight and sound are automatically turned off when the low battery indicator is displayed. Any
alarms set prior to the appearance of the low battery indicator will remain active.
Keep the batteries away from children. If swallowed, contact a doctor immediately.
Batteries should be properly disposed of according to local regulations.
When handling a new, fully charged battery, avoid clasp-like contact, i.e. simultaneously from both sides,
with metal or electrically conducting tools, like tweezers. This may short circuit the battery, causing it to
discharge more rapidly. Typically, short circuiting does not damage the battery, but it may decrease the
capacity and the lifetime of the battery.
