Proper care and maintenance of your LionHeart device are essential for ensuring its longevity and optimal performance during your workouts. Here are some guidelines to help you maintain your device correctly.
1. Unclip After Use: Unclip the device from the strap after each use. This simple step helps to prolong the battery life of the monitor. It prevents unnecessary battery drain and maintains the device's readiness for your next workout.
2. Cleaning Your Strap:
- The chest strap should be cleaned by hand wash only. Prior to washing, detach the Heart Rate Monitor from the strap, as the electronic component is not washable.
- When cleaning the strap, ensure the water temperature does not exceed 30°C. High temperatures can damage the strap's material and affect its elasticity and fit.
Additional Tips
- Drying the Strap: After washing, gently wring out excess water from the strap and lay it flat to dry in a well-ventilated area out of direct sunlight. Do not tumble dry, iron, or dry clean the strap.
- Storage: Store the Heart Rate Monitor and the strap separately in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to avoid damage and to maintain the integrity of the components.
- Battery Care for V1 Devices: For devices that use a replaceable battery, ensure that the battery compartment is closed securely after each battery change to avoid moisture ingress that could lead to corrosion or damage.
- Regular Inspections: Regularly inspect your device and strap for signs of wear and tear. If any part of your device or strap seems to be damaged, consider replacing it to ensure your safety and the accuracy of heart rate readings.
Taking proper care of your LionHeart device not only extends its life but also ensures that it provides accurate readings and remains a reliable part of your fitness journey.
