CARING FOR YOUR OH1
Like any electronic device, the Polar OH1 should be kept clean and treated with care. The instructions
below will help you fulfill the guarantee obligations, keep the device in peak condition and avoid any issues
in charging or syncing.
KEEP YOUR OH1 CLEAN
Wipe any dirt or mud off OH1 after each training session with a soft towel.
Keep the OH1 and OH1 USB adapter charging contacts clean to ensure smooth charging and syncing.
Before charging, make sure there’s no moisture, hair, dust or dirt on the OH1 or OH1 USB adapter charging
contacts. Gently wipe off any dirt and blow off any dust. Do not use any sharp tools for cleaning to avoid
scratching.
Keep the OH1 contacts clean to protect it from oxidation and other possible damage caused by dirt and
salt water (e.g. sweat or sea water).
Do not charge the OH1 when the charging contacts are wet or
sweaty
.
Take good care of the optical heart rate sensor
Keep the optical sensor area clean and scratch-free. However, small scratches should not affect the
performance of optical heart rate measurement.
STORING
Keep your training device in a cool and dry place. Do not keep it 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. It is recommended to
store the training device partially or fully charged. The battery slowly loses its charge when it is stored. If
you are going to store the training device for several months, it is recommended to recharge it after a few
months. This will prolong the battery lifetime.
Do not leave the device in extreme cold (below –10 °C/14 °F) and heat (above 50 °C/120 °F) or under
direct sunlight.
SERVICE
During the two-year guarantee/warranty period we recommend that you have service done by an
authorized Polar Service Center only. The warranty does not cover damage or consequential damage
caused by service not authorized by Polar Electro. For further information, see Limited International Polar
Guarantee.
For contact information and all Polar Service Center addresses, visit
and country-
specific websites.
PRECAUTIONS
The Polar OH1 is designed to measure heart rate. No other use is intended or implied.
