6. CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your Polar heart rate monitor is a high-tech instrument and should

be treated with care. The suggestions below will help you fulﬁ ll the

guarantee obligations.

Store your heart rate monitor in a cool, dry place. Do not store it

in any kind of non-breathing material, such as a plastic bag or a

sports bag if it is wet.

Service

During the two-year guarantee/warranty period, we recommend

that your product is serviced by an authorized Polar Service Center

only. The warranty does not cover damage or consequential damage

caused by any service not authorized by Polar Electro.

Taking Care of Your Polar Heart Rate Monitor

• Keep your unit clean. Clean it with a mild soap and water

solution. Dry it carefully with a soft towel. Never use alcohol or

any abrasive material such as steel wool or cleaning chemicals.

• Never store the transmitter when it is wet. Sweat and moisture

can keep its electrodes wet and the transmitter activated,

which shorten the lifespan of the battery.

• Keep your heart rate monitor out of extreme cold and heat. The

operating temperature is 14°F to 122°F / -10°C to +50°C.

• Do not expose the heart rate monitor to direct sunlight for

extended periods, eg. by leaving it in a car.

• Do not bend or stretch the transmitter. This may damage the

electrodes.

• Do not dry the transmitter in any other way than with a towel.

Mishandling may damage the electrodes.

Transmitter Battery

The estimated average battery lifespan of the transmitter is

2500 hours of use. If you suspect that the transmitter battery has

discharged, contact your authorized Polar Service Center for a

replacement transmitter. Polar recycles used transmitters.

Wrist Unit Battery

The estimated average battery lifespan of the wrist unit is two years

with normal use (1h/day, 7 days a week). The

indicates a low

battery and that the battery should be replaced. Please note that

excessive use of the alarm signal and the backlight (FS2c/FS3c)

will drain the battery more rapidly. Do not open the wrist unit

yourself. To ensure the water resistance properties and the use of

qualiﬁ ed components, the wrist unit battery should be replaced by

an authorized Polar Service Center only. At the same time, a full

periodic check of the Polar heart rate monitor will be done.

Note:

• In cold conditions, the low battery indicator may appear,

but the indicator is deactivated when you return to a normal

temperature.

• Water resistance cannot be guaranteed after unauthorized

service.

• The sounds and the backlight (FS2c/FS3c) are disabled when

the battery is low, in order to optimize the battery lifespan.
