Center.

BUTTON FUNCTIONS ON THE M600
The Polar M600 has two buttons: the front button and the side power button.
1. Front button
2. Side power button
3. Touchscreen
FRONT BUTTON
The front button is a handy way to use the Polar app throughout your training session. You can use the front
button to:
• quickly open the Polar app from the home screen
• to open Training in the main menu
• to choose the sport you want to do and to start the training session
• to stop the training session
For more information, see Navigating the Polar app.
SIDE POWER BUTTON
The sidepower button has several functionalities:
• press the button once to wake up the screen of your M600
• press the button once on the active home screen to dim the screen or to turn the screen off, depending on
your Always-on screen setting
• press the button once to get to the home screen from anywhere in the watch
• press the button twice anywhere in the watch to turn theater mode on
• press the button once when the watch is in theater mode to turn the screen back on again
• press and hold the button until the watch vibrates to open the apps menu
• press and hold the button until the screen turns off to power down your smartwatch
• when the M600 is turned off, press and hold the button to turn the M600 on
15
• press and hold the button until you see the Polar logo to restart the watch
• press the button three times anywhere in the watch to temporarily boost the brightness of the screen
CHARGING THE M600
The M600 has an internal, rechargeable battery. Rechargeable batteries have a limited number of charge cycles.
You can charge and discharge the battery over 300 times before a notable decrease in its capacity. The number
of charge cycles also varies according to use and operating conditions.
You can charge your M600 via a computer’s USB port with the charging cable provided to you in the sales package. You can also charge your M600‘s battery using a wall outlet (a USB power adapter is not included in the
product set). If you use a USB power adapter, make sure that the adapter is marked with "output 5Vdc" and that
it provides a minimum of 500mA. Only use an adequately safety approved USB power adapter (marked with
"LPS", "Limited Power Supply" or "UL listed").
The magnetic end of the cable snaps into place to the M600's charging port when it’s properly connected to your
smart watch. The M600 also vibrates briefly when the charging begins. If the smartwatch is turned on when you
plug it into charge, you'll see a small lightning bolt icon on the home screen of your M600. You can see the battery charging level of your watch by swiping down halfway from the top of the home screen. If the smartwatch
is turned off when you plug it into charge, a battery icon animation begins to fill up on the display. When the battery icon is full, the M600 is fully charged. It may take up to two hours to fully charge an empty M600 battery.
1. Wrist-based heart rate monitor sensors
2. Charging port
When you've finished charging the battery of your M600, remove the charging cable from the USB port of
your computer or from the wall adapter. If the charging cable is left connected to a power source, the magnetic
end of the cable attracts iron-containing objects and can short-circuit, possibly causing circuit damage, overheating, fire or explosion.
Don't leave the battery fully discharged for a long period of time or keep it fully charged all the time because it
may affect the battery life time.Also, do not charge the battery in temperatures under 0°C or over +40°C or when
the charging port is wet or sweaty. If the charging port of your M600 has gotten wet, let it dry before plugging in the
charging cable.
16
BATTERY OPERATING TIME
The battery operating time is
• 2 days / 8 hours of training on M600 paired with an Android phone.
• 1 day / 8 hours of training on M600 paired with an iPhone.
The operating time depends on many factors, such as the temperature of the environment in which you use
your M600, the features you use, if the screen is in the Always-on mode, and battery aging. The operating time is
significantly reduced in temperatures well below freezing. Wearing the M600 under your overcoat helps to keep
it warmer and to increase the operating time.
LOW BATTERY NOTIFICATION
When the charge in your M600's battery drops down to 15% or less, you'll see a card stating the chargelevel and
the status of battery saver mode. You can swipe left on the card to see and tap Turn on/off battery saver.
The battery saver mode will automatically turn on when the battery charge level hits 5%.
Since the GPS recording is NOT on in the battery saver mode, you'll get a notification card if the battery saver
mode is on when you're about to start training with the Polar app or if the battery falls below 5% while you're
training.
When the display doesn't wake up from a wrist gesture or a press of the side power button, the battery is empty
and M600 has gone to sleep mode. In that case, you need to charge your M600. If the battery is totally drained,
it may take a while for the charging animation to appear on the display.
You can quickly see how much battery your M600 has left by swiping down from the top of the home screen.
TURNING THE M600 ON AND OFF
TO TURN THE M600 ON
• Press and hold the side power button until you see the Polar logo appear on the screen.
TO TURN THE M600 OFF
1. Navigate to the Settings menu, and scroll the menu down to find and tap Power off.
2. Confirm turning the power off by tapping the check mark icon.
SETTING UP YOUR POLAR M600
The Polar M600 sports watch is compatible with smartphones running Android 4.3+ or iOS 8.2+. iPhone users
need to have at least model 5 or later. You can visit g.co/WearCheck on your phone to see if it’s compatible with
Android Wear.
TO GET READY FOR SETUP
1. To make sure there’s enough chargein your M600 during the setup, plug the charging cable into a
powered USB port on your computer or to a USB power adapter and a wall outlet. Make sure that the
adapter is marked with “output 5Vdc” and that it provides a minimum of 500mA.
17
2. Turn on your M600 by pressing and holding the side power button until you see the Polar logo. After
that, the initial powering up of the operating system will take a few minutes.
3. Swipe left on the touchscreen of your M600 to begin the setup, then swipe up or down to find and tap
the language of your choice. If you choose a language you can't use to finish the setup, press and hold
the side power button until the M600 restarts the setup.
4. Make sure your phone is connected to the Internet and has Bluetooth turned on.
5. Make sure the Google™ Search and the Google Play™ services apps (on Android phones) or the App Store
app (on iPhones) are up to date on your phone.
6. Keep your M600 and the phone close to each other during the setup.
TO PAIR YOUR SMARTPHONE WITH POLAR M600
You need to install the Android Wear app on your phone to connect your smartwatch and your phone.
1. Install the Android Wear app on your smartphone from Google Play or the App Store. Or, if you already
have the Android Wear app on your phone, make sure it's the latest version.
If you already have the Andoird Wear app installed on your smartphone and another device connected
to it, open the mobile app and (on an Android phone) choose Pair with a new watch from the drop-down
menu next to your device name at the top of the screen, or (on an iPhone) tap the three dots at the top right
corner of the screen, and choose Pair with a new wearable. Then continue to follow the instructions
below from step number 3.
2. When you open the Android Wear app on your phone, it automatically prompts you to start setting up

5. You’ll see a quick confirmation message on both the M600 and your phone when the pairing is completed. After that, it takes a while for the M600 to finish syncing with your phone. The smartwatch will
open to the time view once the sync is done.
6. You need to turn on watch notifications so that your phone can send updates to your watch. Follow the
onscreen instructions on your phone to do this. If you have used the Andoid Wear app earlier with
another device, you should have already allowed notifications for the app. You can check this in your
phone's settings.
After the initial sync, your new smartwatch launches a tutorial on how to get started with the watch. You can
swipe through the tutorial and continue the setup after that. Or you can skip the tutorial for the time being by
swiping the tutorial card down, and you can later get back to the tutorial by swiping the tutorial card up again
from the bottom of the home screen.
TO ACTIVATE THE POLAR APP ON THE M600
To get the most out of your new Polar M600, and to be able to use Polar's activity tracking and training features,
you need to activate the Polar app on the smartwatch. To do this, first you need to install the Polar Flow app on
your smartphone. If you already have the Polar Flow mobile app installed on your smartphone, make sure it's
the latest version, then continue the setup from step number 2 below.
1. Go to Google Play or the App Store on your phone, and search and download the Polar Flow app.
2. Open the Polar Flow app on your phone. iOS users: To proceed you need to open the Polar app on your

Please note that you can pair your M600 with only one Android phone, iPhone or tablet at a time. You can pair
your M600 with a new tablet or phone after you first reset your smartwatch to factory settings.
CONNECTING THE M600 TO WI-FI
Applicable only to Polar M600 paired with an Android phone
Your Polar M600 Andoird Wear supports Wi-Fi and can automatically connect to saved Wi-Fi networks if it loses
the Bluetooth connection with your phone. When your Android phone is connected to either a Wi-Fi or mobile
network and your M600 is connected to a Wi-Fi network, your smartwatch can stay synced with your phone,
and you can get notifications and Quick answers even if you leave your phone to another room.
Your phone and M600 share data through the Android Wear cloud sync. So, you must turn cloud sync on in the
Android Wear app on your phone.
