The following suggestions help in maintaining the water resistance:
• Keep your unit clean.
• Wipe off any moisture before putting the unit away.
• Do not store the unit in non-breathable material (i.e. plastic bag or damp gym bag).
• Do not operate the buttons whilst under water or when wet.
• Keep your Polar Heart Rate Monitor out of extreme cold (below –10 º C/14 ºF) and heat (above 50 ºC/120 ºF).

IF THE BATTERY RUNS OUT

• The first sign that the battery may be running down is when the display fades. This may become apparent when the digits fade when the back light is used (certain models).



• We recommend that you send your unit to the Polar Service Centre. The rubber seal that ensures water resistance should be checked and the unit should be tested for water resistance every time it is opened.



• Service to your unit by yourself or an unauthorised service may damage your unit.
• Warranty does not cover damage or consequential damage caused by service not authorised by Polar.

THE TRANSMITTER

• Wash and dry your transmitter after use. To maximise the battery life do not store your transmitter in a damp environment or with conductive material such as a wet towel.
• Readjust the elastic strap periodically so that the transmitter fits firmly around the chest. The elastic strap may need to be replaced every one to two years.
• Do not stretch or bend the transmitter. This may damage the electrodes.
• Clean the transmitter belt regularly 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 HRM.
• If your transmitter does wear out, a new one is available at a special replacement cost. Polar recycles used transmitters.
