Caring for Your Polar FT4
Training computer: Complete care and
maintenance instructions please see full user
manual at www.polar.fi/support.
WearLink transmitter: Detach the transmitter
connector from the strap and rinse the strap
under running water after every use. Dry the
connector with a soft towel. Never use alcohol
or any abrasive material (steel wool or cleaning
chemicals).
Wash the strap regularly in a washing
machine at 40ºC/104ºF or at least after every
fifth use. This ensures reliable measurement
and maximizes the life span of the transmitter.
Use a washing pouch. Do not soak, spin-dry,
iron, dry clean or bleach the strap. Do not use
detergent with bleach or fabric softener. Never
put the transmitter connector in the washing
machine or drier!
Dry and store the strap and the transmitter
connector separately. Wash the strap in a
washing machine before long-term storage and
always after use in pool water with high chlorine
content.
