8. CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Like any electronic device, your running computer should be treated with care. The suggestions below will help you fulfi ll the
guarantee obligations and enjoy this product for many years to come.
Taking Care of Your Running Computer
• Store your wrist unit and transmitter in a cool and dry
place. Do not store them in a damp environment, in non-
breathable material (such as a plastic bag or a sports bag),
or with conductive material such as a wet towel. Sweat
and moisture can keep the transmitter electrodes wet and
the transmitter activated, shortening battery life.
• Keep your unit clean. Clean it with a mild soap and water
solution. Dry it carefully with a soft towel. Never use
alcohol or any abrasive material such as steel wool or
cleaning chemicals.
• The operating temperatures are -10 °C to +50 °C /
+14 °F to +122 °F.
• Do not expose the running computer to direct sunlight for
extended periods, such as by leaving it in a car.

Service
During the two-year guarantee / warranty period we
recommend that you service the product at an authorized
Polar Service Center only. The warranty does not cover
damage or consequential damage caused by service not
authorized by Polar Electro.
Wrist Unit Battery
The estimated average battery life of the wrist unit is two
years in normal use (1h/day, 7 days/week). Excessive use of
the backlight drains the wrist unit's battery more rapidly.
The low battery indicator is displayed when 10-15%
of the wrist unit battery capacity is left and the battery
should be replaced. Do not open the wrist unit yourself. To
ensure water resistance properties and the use of qualifi ed
components, the wrist unit battery should be replaced by
an authorized Polar Service Center only. At the same time, a
full periodic check of the running computer will be done.
