Care and Maintenance
Caring of Your Product
Like any electronic device, the Polar cycling
computer should be treated with care. The
suggestions below will help you fulfill guarantee
obligations and enjoy this product for many years
to come.
Detach the transmitter connector from the strap
after use. Clean the connector with a mild soap
and water solution. Dry it with a towel. Never use
alcohol or any abrasive material (steel wool or
cleaning chemicals).
Rinse the transmitter strap with water after every
use. If you use the strap more than three times a
week, wash it at least once every three weeks in a
washing machine at 40°C / 104°F. Use a washing
pouch. Do not soak, and use neither detergent
with bleach nor fabric softener. Do not dry-clean
or bleach the strap.
Wash the strap before long–term storage, and
always after use in pool water with high chlorine
content. Do not spin-dry or iron the strap. Never
put the connector in a washing machine or a drier!
Dry and store the strap and the connector
separately.
Store your cycling computer 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.
The cycling computer and sensors are water
resistant and can be used in the rain. To maintain
the water resistance, do not wash the cycling
computer or sensors with a pressure washer or
sink them under water.
