Taking Care of your WearLink Transmitter
If you use insect repellent on your skin, you must ensure
that it does not come into contact with the transmitter.
WearLink Connector
• Clean the connector regularly after use with a mild
soap and water solution.
• Never use alcohol or any abrasive material such as
steel wool or cleaning chemicals on any part of the
transmitter.
• Do not dry the connector in any other way than with a
towel. Mishandling may damage it.
• Never put the connector in a washing machine or a
drier!
WearLink Strap

+40 °C / 104 °F. We recommend that you use a
washing pouch.

time you have used it in pool water with a high
chlorine content.
• Do not spin-dry the strap or put the strap in a drier!
• Do not iron the strap!
