GETTING STARTED
POLAR M200 USER MANUAL
This user manual helps you get started with your new M200. To see M200 video tutorials and FAQs, go to sup-
port.polar.com/en/M200.
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your new Polar M200!
The Polar M200 GPS running watch has an integrated GPS, wrist based heart rate monitor and unique smart coach-
ing features. You will be able to track your running pace, distance, altitude and route with the compactly packed
GPS. You don't need to wear a separate heart rate sensor; just enjoy training with the wrist-based heart rate meas-
urement that’s always ready when you are.
Track the activities of your everyday life. See how they benefit your health, and get tips on how to reach your daily
activity goal. And stay connected with smart notifications; get alerts to your M200 for incoming calls, messages and
app activity on your phone. You can also change the wristband and accessorize any outfit. You can buy additional
wristbands separately.
TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF YOUR M200
Get connected to the Polar ecosystem and get the most out of your M200.
Get the Polar Flow app from the App Store®or Google PlayTM. Sync your M200 with the Flow app after training,
and get an instant overview and feedback of your training result and performance. In the Flow app you can also
check how you’ve slept and how active you’ve been during the day.
Sync your training data to the Polar Flow web service with the FlowSync software on your computer or via Flow app.
In the web service you can plan your training, track your achievements, get guidance and see detailed analysis of
your training results, activity and sleep. Let all your friends know about your achievements, find fellow exercisers
and get motivation from your social training communities. Find all this at flow.polar.com.
SETTING UP YOUR M200
Your new M200 is in storage mode, and it wakes up when you plug it into a USB charger for charging or a computer
for setup. We recommend that you charge the battery before you start using your M200. If the battery is com-
pletely empty, it takes a couple of minutes for the charging to start. See Batteries for detailed information on char-
ging the battery, battery operating times and low battery notifications.

CHOOSE ONE OPTION FOR SETUP: A COMPATIBLE MOBILE DEVICE OR A COMPUTER
You can choose how to set up your M200: either wirelessly with a compatible mobile device or with a computer.
Both methods require an Internet connection.
•Mobile setup is convenient if you don't have access to a computer with a USB port, but it might take longer.
•Wired computer setup is quicker and you can charge your M200 at the same time, but you need a computer
available.
OPTION A: SET UP WITH A MOBILE DEVICE AND POLAR FLOW APP
Polar M200 connects to the Polar Flow mobile app wirelessly via Bluetooth® Smart, so remember to have
Bluetooth turned on in your mobile device.
Check the Polar Flow app compatible devices at support.polar.com.
1. Detach the wristband as described in chapter Wristband.
2. To make sure there’s enough charge on your M200 during the mobile setup, just plug your M200 in a
powered USB port or a USB power adapter. Make sure that the adapter is marked with "output 5Vdc" and
that it provides a minimum of 500mA. Also make sure that you plug the M200 in the right way, i.e. the four
pins on the M200 USB connector must face the four pins in your computer's USB port or in the
USB power adapter. It may take a few minutes for your M200 to wake up before the charging animation
starts.
Before charging, please make sure there’s no moisture, hair, dust or dirt on the M200’s USB connector.
Gently wipe off any dirt or moisture.
