Caring for Your Heart Rate Sensor Bands

COROS Bicep Band Care Guide

The COROS bicep band is designed for durability and comfort, but regular maintenance ensures it performs at its best:

Cleaning Instructions

• After each use, wipe the band with a damp cloth to remove sweat and debris.

• For deeper cleaning, hand wash the fabric portion using mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh detergents.

• Do not machine wash or dry the band as it can damage the material or affect elasticity.

Drying Tips

• Air dry completely before storing or reusing. Lay it flat or hang it in a well-ventilated area.

• Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources like dryers or radiators to prevent warping or degradation.

Storage

• Store in a cool, dry place.

• Avoid folding or crumpling the band tightly, as this can weaken the elastic over time.

Polar H10 Chest Strap Care Guide

The Polar H10 chest strap includes a separate sensor and strap. Caring for both is essential for accurate readings and long-term use.

Cleaning the Strap

• Detach the sensor from the strap before cleaning.

• Rinse the strap under running water after every use.

• Hand wash with mild soap every 5 uses to remove built-up salt and oils.

• Do not machine wash or dry.

Cleaning the Sensor

• Wipe down with a soft, damp cloth.

• Do not submerge in water or use cleaning agents.

Drying and Storage

• Allow the strap to air dry flat. Do not wring or twist.

• Once dry, reconnect the sensor and store the strap in a well-ventilated, dry area.

• Avoid storing in damp gym bags or tightly closed containers.

General Tips

• Never use alcohol, bleach, or abrasive cleaners on any part of the bands or sensors.

• Regularly inspect for fraying, cracks, or corrosion and replace components as needed.

• Consistent cleaning and proper drying will improve sensor accuracy and extend the lifespan of your gear.
