the wrist receiver to a Polar Bike Mount™. Keep
the wrist receiver within the transmission range
(1 meter/ 3 feet).

flawless operation. However, if you wish to
wear the transmitter over a shirt, moisten the
shirt well under the electrodes.
It is important that the electrodes are wet during
exercise. After exercising, to preserve the electrodes
and battery life:
1. Wash the transmitter carefully with a mild soap
and water solution.
2. Rinse it with pure water.
3. Dry the transmitter carefully.
