Caring for Your V650
Like any electronic device, the Polar V650 should be treated with care. The suggestions below will help you fulfil guarantee obligations and enjoy this product for many years to come.
Polar V650
Keep your training device clean. Use a damp paper towel to wipe dirt from the training device. To maintain the water resistance, do not wash the training device with a pressure washer. Do not immerse the training device in water. Never use alcohol or any abrasive material such as steel wool or cleaning chemicals.
The USB cable must be connected carefully to avoid damaging the device's USB port.
After each time of using the USB port of the training device, check visually that there is no hair, dust or other dirt on the sealing surface area of the lid/back case. Gently wipe to remove any dirt. Do not use any sharp tools or equipment for cleaning, which could cause scratches to the plastic parts.
Not suitable for bathing or swimming. Protected against wash splashes and raindrops. Do not immerse the training device in water. Using the training device in excessive rainfall may cause interference on GPS reception.
Heart Rate Sensor
Connector: Detach the connector from the strap after every use and dry the connector with a soft towel. Clean the connector with a mild soap and water solution when needed. Never use alcohol or any abrasive material (eg. steel wool or cleaning chemicals).
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.
Check the washing instructions on the label of the strap.
Speed Sensor Bluetooth® Smart and Cadence Sensor Bluetooth® Smart
Clean the sensors with a mild soap and water solution and rinse them with clean water. To maintain the water resistance, do not wash the sensors with a pressure washer. Do not immerse the speed sensor or cadence sensor in water. Never use alcohol or any abrasive material such as steel wool or cleaning chemicals. Avoid hard hits to the sensors, as these may damage the sensor units.
Storing
Keep your training device and sensors 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 the training device to direct sunlight for extended periods, such as by leaving it in a car or mounted on the bike mount.
We recommend that you store the V650 charged. The battery slowly loses its charge when it is stored. If you are going to store your V650 for several months, we recommend that you recharge it after a few months. This will prolong the battery lifetime.
Dry and store the strap and the connector separately to maximize the heart rate sensor battery lifetime. Keep the heart rate sensor in a cool and dry place. 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.
