Polar Ignite Quick Start Guide

How to get started

1. To wake up a nd char ge your watch, plug it into
a powered USB port or a USB charger with the
custom cable that came in the box.

2. To set up your watch, choose your language
and setup method. The watch gives you three
options for setup: set up (A) on your phone, (B)
on your computer or (C) on your watch. Browse

watch, we recommend you install it during
the setup. It may take up to 10 minutes to
complete.
