Cleaning the Device
Tips for Cleaning and Storage
Minimize exposure to sunscreen, bleach, mosquito repellant, and chemicals found in certain soaps and first aid ointments. Specifically, propylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) can damage the tail wrap.
- When storing the tail wrap, hang it up or lay it flat.
- Avoid bending or tightly rolling the tail wrap.
- Do not store the sensor or tail wrap in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
- Do not clean the sensor or tail wrap with bleach, and do not submerge them in any cleaning agents.
- Do not use disinfecting wipes or isopropyl alcohol on the gel pads.
- You can use a 70% isopropyl alcohol wipe to gently wipe the exterior of your sensor and tail wrap.
- You can use a disinfecting wipe to gently wipe the exterior of your sensor and tail wrap, but Garmin recommends that you rinse the sensor and tail wrap under water to remove any chemical residue left behind by the wipe to avoid possible skin irritation.
