Sometimes due to to excess sweat, the band may itch or the heart rate may face interference.
Therefore
- Regularly clean the band with water or wipe it with a small amount of rubbing alcohol. Do NOT use hand soap, body soap, dish soap, hand sanitizers, cleaning wipes or household cleaners which could get trapped beneath the band and irritate skin. Always dry the band well before putting it back on.
- Make sure not to scrape the contacts with a wire brush or anything metal, since this can damage the plating and cause corrosion.
