Caring for the Heart Rate Monitor

A buildup of sweat and salt on the strap can permanently damage the heart rate monitor and decrease its ability
to report accurate data.
Using too much detergent when washing the heart rate monitor may damage the heart rate monitor.
• Rinse the heart rate monitor after every use.
• Hand wash the heart rate monitor after every seven uses, using warm water at a maximum temperature of
40°C (104°F), and a tiny amount of mild detergent, such as dishwashing liquid.
• Thoroughly rinse the strap after hand washing the heart rate monitor to remove detergent residue that can
cause skin irritation.
• Do not put the heart rate monitor in a washing machine or dryer.
• When drying the heart rate monitor, lay it flat with the clips in an open position to air dry.
