2.2 Installation Steps
Follow these steps to securely attach the handlebar mount to your bicycle:
- Position the Mount: Place the Polar Handlebar Mount on a suitable section of your bicycle's handlebars. Ensure it is positioned centrally and does not obstruct your view or access to other controls.

- Trim Excess: Once the mount is firmly secured and does not move, trim any excess length from the zip ties using scissors or a cutting tool. Ensure no sharp edges remain.

4. Maintenance
