POLAR M460 USER MANUAL
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your new M460! The Polar M460 all-round GPS bike computer is fully compatible with several Bluetooth
power meters and makes cycling even more exciting with Strava Live Segments®. Your M460 is compatible with Train-
ingPeaks® coaching and analyzing platform and the following advanced TrainingPeaks power metrics for cycling are avail-
able on your M460: NORMALIZED POWER® (NP®),INTENSITY FACTOR® (IF®) and TRAINING STRESS SCORE®
(TSS®).
When combined with a heart rate sensor, Polar M460 offers access to unique heart rate based features, such as Fitness
Test, Orthostatic Test, Training Load and Recovery Status. It is splash-proof (IPX7) and has a battery life for up to 16 hours
of training. GPS and barometer enable you to track your speed, distance, altitude and gradient. Polar M460 keeps you con-
nected wherever, whenever with smart notifications from your phone. It even looks after your safety with a front LED light.

the Flow web service.
This user manual helps you get started with your new training companion. Further support is available at sup-
port.polar.com/en/M460.
TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF YOUR M460
See live, accurate heart rate on your M460 during training with Polar H10 heart rate sensor. Your heart rate is information
used to analyze how your session went. If you bought a set that does not include a heart rate sensor, not to worry, you can
always buy one later.
View your training data at a glance after every session with Polar Flow mobile app. Flow app syncs your training data wire-
lessly to the Polar Flow web service. Download it from the App Store or Google Play.
Polar Flowsync software allows you to sync data between your M460 and the Flow web service on your computer via the
USB cable. Go to flow.polar.com/start to download and install Polar FlowSync software. Plan and analyze every detail of
your training, customize your device and learn more about your performance with Polar Flow web service at flow.polar.com.

SET UP YOUR M460
Please do the setup in the Polar Flow web service. There you can fill in all the physical details required for accurate training
data at once. You can also select language and get the latest firmware for your M460. To do the setup in the Flow web ser-
vice, you need a computer with an Internet connection.
M460 is delivered in sleep mode. It wakes up when you plug it into a computer or a USB charger. If the battery is com-
pletely empty, it takes a couple of minutes for the charging animation to appear.

SET UP IN THE POLAR FLOW WEB SERVICE
1. Go to flow.polar.com/start and download the Polar FlowSync software, which you need to connect your M460 to the
Flow web service.
2. Open the installation package and follow the on-screen instructions for installing the software.
3. Once the installation is complete, FlowSync opens automatically and asks you to plug in your Polar device.
4. Plug M460 into your computer’s USB port with the USB cable. M460 wakes up and starts charging. Let your com-
puter install any USB drivers if it suggests so.
5. The Flow web service opens automatically on your internet browser. Create a Polar account or sign in if you already
have one. Fill in your physical settings precisely as they have an effect on calorie calculation and other Smart Coach-
ing features.
6. Start synchronization by clicking Done, and the settings will be synchronized between M460 and the service.
FlowSync status will change to completed, once the synchronization is done.
7. You are requested to update your M460 software. Click Yes to update the latest software version to your M460. It
may take 20-30 minutes to complete. Please update your M460 to get it fully operational with complete set of fea-
tures.
CHARGE THE BATTERY
The M460 has an internal, rechargeable battery. Use the USB cable included in the product set to charge it via the USB port
on your computer. You can also charge the battery via a wall outlet. When charging via a wall outlet use a USB power
adapter (not included in the product set). If you use an AC 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 AC adapter (marked with "LPS", "Limited
Power Supply" or "UL listed").
1. Lift the rubber cover off the USB port. Plug the micro USB connector into the USB port in the M460, and plug the
other end of the cable into your PC.
