Heart rate sensor:
Detach the heart rate sensor
from the electrode base/belt/soft strap after
every use and dry it with a soft towel. Clean the
heart rate sensor with a mild soap and water
solution when needed. Never use alcohol or any
abrasive material (e.g. steel wool or cleaning
chemicals). Dry and store the electrode
base/belt/soft strap and the heart rate sensor
separately to maximize the heart rate sensor
battery lifetime. To prevent snap oxidation, do
not store the heart rate sensor wet in
non-breathing material, such as a sports bag.
Do not expose the heart rate sensor to direct
sunlight for extended periods, such as by
leaving it in a car.
Electrode Base / Belt:
water after every use and hang to dry. Clean the
electrode areas gently with a mild soap and
water solution when needed or at least once a
week. Do not use moisturizing soaps, because
they can leave residue on the electrodes. Do not
soak, iron, dry clean or bleach. Do not stretch
the electrode base/belt or bend the electrode
areas sharply.

Rinse under running
Soft strap:
Rinse the strap under running water
after every use and hang to dry. Clean the strap
gently with a mild soap and water solution when
needed. Do not use moisturizing soaps, because
they can leave residue on the strap. Do not
soak, iron, dry clean or bleach the strap. Do not
stretch the strap or bend the electrode areas
sharply. You may wash the strap in a washing
machine at 40 °C / 104 °F. Strap material:
38% Polyamide, 29% Polyurethane, 20%
Elastane, 13% Polyester
Storing the Electrode base / Belt / Soft strap:
Keep your electrode base/belt/soft strap in a
cool and dry place. Do not keep them 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 them to
direct sunlight for extended periods, such as by
leaving it in a car.
