How do you clean your chest strap sensors? Does, black color come off? (Mine does, and I'm only using kleenex and water).

I wipe the plastic parts with water & a soft cloth. I have detached the strap & hand washed that separately. Not at any time has anything discolored or has color come off. If you're having issues contact Timex. This is my second product (the first lasted forever & I only replaced it because I lost it in a move). I had an issue after a few years with the sensor not working and Timex replaced the part without hesitation. Good luck!

I would say that the straps will come clean if you remove the food immediately. Otherwise, it is very difficult to remove stains. The straps are not coated. As I inspect my high chair, I am noticing stains all across the strapping.

Hello Mr. Pinto. No, the monitor wiill not work without the chest strap. The chest strap has to be fitted farily tightly around your chest and the strap and the electrode should also be moistened. This improves the performance of the monitor. Also, the strap and electrode should be cleaned as per the supplied instructions and stored separately after use. Hope this answers your question. Good luck.

I have not cleaned the black filters. Sorry, I can't be of assistance on this.

I use my sensor pump all the time, many times a day. The batteries seem to last pretty long. I also have mine set on the lowest setting. In the beginning the light is green and the as the batteries get weaker it turns red. Don't replace the batteries until it stops working. Always keep an extra set on hand.

I would contact Zephyr for a different strap.... but as long as the sensor was over your chest area, I don't think it would matter if you extended the end of the strap.

Sorry...I wear scoop neck shirts & don't seem to have that problem but I use oxyclean & spray & wash on any stains I have & it works great with any detergent I have used. Good luck!

I have never had to worry about that. I put the strap on dry and it seems to be picked up by my Garmin 910 almost immediately. Others I run and bike with say they don't have to moisten the area either and have never had a problem. Hope this helps.

Hi, Amazon distributor here, best way to clear it as Amy S. noted on 6/22/14 is to inflate the device fully and then either wipe or insert the probe component under water (use general or an antibacterial soap). As others have noted, the key is to clean/wash/wipe while inflated. Pat dry with a clean towel, let the air out via the release button, and let it dry. There's absolutely no problem in keeping the device inflated while it dries as well. //Associated Medical

I do not know the smart strap that you are talking about it. I got this one because I have a F11 Polar heart monitor and it fits the sensor perfectly. Regarding washing, yes the strap can be rinsed under running water and cleaned with a mild soap and water solution when needed. No washing machine nor dryer of course.

I usually just breathe on it and then polish it of with a towel. Works great! If the kids were using it with jelly fingers *sigh* I use a damp cloth to clean it off (without any cleaner or soap).

The contacts on the chest strap and (to a lesser degree) the HR transmitter are subject to corrosion. Try this: put ketchup on both sets of contacts and let them sit overnight. The ketchup will be crusty by morning. Wash it off, using a few rounds of cold tap water and a toothpick (if necessary or impatient) to get any resistant bits out. This works because the acidity in the ketchup removes the corrosion, allowing a good connection. It may be necessary to do this 1-2x per year. Credit for this technique goes to ThePolarGuy.

I do moisten the backing before I put on the strap. In conversation with other Wearlink users, I know that not everyone finds it necessary--my personal trainer never moistens hers. The new vinyl Wearlink seems to be much more sensitive than the older mesh model. I remember setting and resetting the mesh strap to maintain contact, and I do not have to do this at all with the vinyl strap.

Often you have to go through a descale process. Look in the manual and try that. It will often clean a sensor and maybe get it going again. The process is a combination of distilled vinegar and water etc...

Are u using the white simple human bags? I find if I use a bag that isn't white the sensor thinks it is a human shadow and stays open. Kind of annoying

Well, in my humble opinion we (Jandy owners) have been taken to the cleaners on everything they sell salt-wise. Did you clean the cell with diluted acid? If so try that. Did you install the sensor with the new chip adaptor? If so, take off the adapter. It is a really bad fix. It seems to make all the bugs that everyone complains about worse by increasing, rather than decreasing, the sesitivity of the sensor. I got a few months (my non-heated season) out of my sensor (with one cleaning midway) by removing that jumper. I too am now getting a 121. I am going to clean the cell tomorrow, make sure the three prone plugs are clean, reboot the whole thing, and see what happens. If it doesn't fix, I am turning the whole thing off, saving my money, and buying something that works. Good luck.
