To change the time, you'll first need to change the time zone on your computer and then sync your M200. If you change the time or time zone on your mobile device and sync the Polar Flow app with the Polar Flow web service and your M200, the time also changes on your M200. Your mobile device needs to have Internet connection available in order to change the time. 18 TRAINING TRAINING WITH WRIST BASED HEART RATE HEART RATE TRAINING Although there are many subjective clues as to how your body is doing during exercise (perceived exertion, breathing rate, physical sensations), none of them are as reliable as measuring heart rate. It is objective and is affected by both internal and external factors - meaning you will have a dependable measure of your physical state. MEASURING HEART RATE WITH M200 Your Polar M200 has a built-in heart rate sensor that measures heart rate from the wrist. Follow your heart rate zones directly from your device and get guidance for training sessions you've planned in the Flow app or web service. To measure wrist-based heart rate accurately you need to wear your M200 snugly on top of your wrist, just behind the wrist bone (see the picture on the right). The sensor on the back must be in constant touch with your skin, but the wristband should not be too tight either to prevent blood flow. If you have tattoos on the skin of your wrist, avoid placing the sensor right on it as it may prevent accurate readings. Also it's a good idea to warm up the skin if your hands and skin get cold easily. Get the blood going before starting your session! In sports where it's more challenging to keep the sensor stationary on your wrist or where you have pressure or movement in muscles or tendons near the sensor, we recommend using a Polar Bluetooth Smart heart rate sensor with a chest strap to get better measurement of your heart rate. START A TRAINING SESSION Wear your M200 and tighten the wristband. Go to Training and press and hold the RIGHT button. or Press and hold the RIGHT button. Browse to a sport with the RIGHT button.

You can see speed/pace and distance on your M200 during and after your sesion, but the altitude value can be seen only in the Flow app and web service. For best GPS performance, wear M200 on your wrist with the display facing up. 24/7 ACTIVITY TRACKING M200 tracks your activity with an internal 3D accelerometer that records your wrist movements. It analyzes the frequency, intensity and regularity of your movements together with your physical information, allowing you to see how active you really are in your everyday life, on top of your regular training. We recommend to wear your M200 on your non-dominant hand for more accurate activity tracking. ACTIVITY GOAL You'll get your personal activity goal when you set up your M200, and your M200 guides you in reaching the goal each day. You can view your goal in Polar Flow app or web service. The activity goal is based on your personal data and activity level setting, which you can find in the Flow web service. If you want to change your goal, sign in to the Flow web service, click your name/profile photo in the upper right corner and go to the Daily activity goal tab in Settings. Choose one of the three activity levels that best describes your typical day and activity. Below the selection area, you can see how active you need to be to reach your daily activity goal on the chosen level. For example, if you're an office worker and spend most of your day sitting, you would be expected to reach about four hours of low intensity activity during an ordinary day. For people who stand and walk a lot during their working hours, the expectations are higher. ACTIVITY DATA In time view the dots and numbers around the display show your progress towards your daily activity goal. When the dotted circle around the display is full, you've reached your goal and you'll get a vibrating alert. You can view your activity also in Activity menu. There you can see how active your day has been so far and get guidance on how to reach your goal. Active time: Active time tells you the cumulative time of body movements that benefit your 26 health. Calories: Shows how many calories you've burned through training, activity and BMR (Basal metabolic rate: the minimum metabolic activity required to maintain life). Steps: Shows the number of steps you've taken so far. The amount and type of body movements are registered and turned into an estimation of steps. Distance: Shows the distance you've covered so far. The distance calculation is based on your height and the steps you've taken. To go: Your M200 gives you options for reaching your daily activity goal. It tells you how much longer you need to be active if you choose low, medium or high intensity activities. You have one goal, but a number of ways to achieve it. The daily activity goal can be reached at low, medium or high intensities. In the M200, 'up' means low intensity, 'walking' means medium intensity, and 'jogging' means high intensity. You can find more examples for low, medium and high intensity activities at the Flow web service and mobile app and choose the best way of reaching your goal. INACTIVITY ALERT It's widely known that physical activity is a major factor in maintaining health. In addition to being physically active, it's important to avoid prolonged sitting. Sitting for long periods of time is bad for your health, even on those days when you train and gain enough daily activity. Your M200 spots if you’re being inactive for too long during your day and this way helps you to break up your sitting to avoid the negative effects it has on your health. If you’ve been still for 55 minutes, you'll get an inactivity alert: It's time to move is shown along with a small vibration. Stand up and find your own way to be active. Take a short walk, stretch, or do some other light activity. The message goes away when you start moving or press any button. If you don't get active in five minutes, you'll get an inactivity stamp, which you can see on the Flow app and Flow web service after syncing. Both Flow app and Flow web service will show you how many inactivity stamps you have received. This way you can check back on your daily routine and make changes towards a more active life. SLEEP INFORMATION IN THE FLOW WEB SERVICE AND FLOW APP M200 will track your sleep time and quality (restful / restless), if you wear it at night. You don't have to turn the sleep mode on. The device automatically detects from your wrist movements that you're sleeping. Sleep time, and its quality (restful / restless) is shown in the Flow web service and Flow app after M200 is synced. Your sleep time is the longest continuous rest time that takes place within 24 hours starting from 18:00/6pm to next day’s 18:00/6pm. Breaks shorter than one hour in your sleep don't stop sleep tracking, but they are not taken into account in the sleep time. Breaks longer than 1 hour stop sleep time tracking. The periods when you sleep peacefully and don’t move a lot are calculated as restful sleep. The periods when you move and change your position are calculated as restless sleep. Instead of simply summing up all the immobile periods, the calculation gives more weight to long than short immobile periods. The percentage of 27 restful sleep compares the time you slept restfully with the total sleeping time. Restful sleep is highly individual and should be interpreted together with sleep time. Knowing the amount of restful and restless sleep gives you a look into how you sleep at night and if it’s affected by any changes in your daily life. This may help you in finding ways to improve your sleep and feel well rested during the day. ACTIVITY DATA IN FLOW APP AND FLOW WEB SERVICE With the Flow app you can follow and analyze your activity data on the go and have your data synced wirelessly from your M200 to the Flow web service. The Flow web service gives you the most detailed insight into your activity information. SMART NOTIFICATIONS The Smart Notifications feature allows you to get notifications from your phone on your M200. Your M200 notifies you if you get an incoming call or receive a message (for example an SMS or WhatsApp message). It also notifies you about calendar events you have on your phone calendar. When heart rate training with your M200, you can only receive notifications about calls if you have the Polar Flow app running on your phone and the phone nearby. To use the Smart Notifications feature you need to have the Polar Flow mobile app for iOS or Android, and your M200 needs to be paired with the app. iOS 8 and Android 5.0 are the minimum supported mobile operating systems.

VERY LIGHT 50–60% 104–114 bpm 20–40 minutes Benefits: Helps to warm up and cool down and assists recovery. Feels like: Very easy, little strain. Recommended for: For recovery and cooldown, throughout training season. 33 Training in heart rate zone 1 is done at a very low intensity. The main training principle is that performance improves when recovering after, and not only during training. Accelerate the recovery process with very light intensity training. Training in heart rate zone 2 is for endurance training, an essential part of any training program. Training sessions in this zone are easy and aerobic. Long-duration training in this light zone results in effective energy expenditure. Progress will require persistence. Aerobic power is enhanced in heart rate zone 3. The training intensity is higher than in sport zones 1 and 2, but still mainly aerobic. Training in sport zone 3 may, for example, consist of intervals followed by recovery. Training in this zone is especially effective for improving the efficiency of blood circulation in the heart and skeletal muscles. If your goal is to compete at top potential, you will have to train in heart rate zones 4 and 5. In these zones, you exercise anaerobically in intervals of up to 10 minutes. The shorter the interval, the higher the intensity. Sufficient recovery between intervals is very important. The training pattern in zones 4 and 5 is designed to produce peak performance. The Polar target heart rate zones can be personalized by using a laboratory measured HRmax value, or by taking a field test to measure the value yourself. When training in a target heart rate zone, try to make use of the entire zone. The mid-zone is a good target, but keeping your heart rate at that exact level all the time is not necessary. Heart rate gradually adjusts to training intensity. For instance, when crossing from heart rate target zone 1 to 3, the circulatory system and heart rate will adjust in 3-5 minutes. Heart rate responds to training intensity depending on factors such as fitness and recovery levels, as well as environmental factors. It is important to look out for subjective feelings of fatigue, and to adjust your training program accordingly. TRAINING BENEFIT Training Benefit gives you textual feedback on your performance for each training session helping you better understand the effectiveness of your training. You can see the feedback in Flow app and Flow web service. To get the feedback, you need to have trained at least a total of 10 minutes in the heart rate zones. Training Benefit feedback is based on heart rate zones. It reads into how much time you spend and how many calories you burn in each zone.

A running index value is an estimate of maximal aerobic running performance, which is influenced by aerobic fitness and running economy. By recording your Running Index over time, you can monitor progress. Improvement means that running at a given pace requires less of an effort, or that your pace is faster at a given level of exertion. To receive the most accurate information on your performance, make sure you have set your HRmax value. Running Index is calculated during every training session when heart rate is measured and the GPS function is on, and when the following requirements apply: Sport profile used is a running type sport (Running, Road Running, Trail running etc.) Speed should be 6 km/h / 3,75 mi/h or faster and duration 12 minutes minimum Calculation begins when you start recording the session. During a session, you may stop twice at traffic lights, for example, without interrupting the calculation. You can view the running index value in the Flow app and web service after syncing. Compare your result to the table below.

The suggestions below will help you fulfill guarantee obligations and enjoy this product for many years to come. Don't charge the device when its USB connector is wet. Let the USB connector dry or wipe it dry with a soft towel before charging. This way you'll ensure smooth charging and syncing. Keep your training device clean. We recommend that you wash the device and the wristband after each training session under running water with a mild soap and water solution. Please remove the device from the wristband and wash them separately. Wipe them dry with a soft towel. It is essential that you wash the device and the wristband if you wear them in a swimming pool where chlorine is used for keeping the pool clean. If you don't wear the device 24/7, wipe off any moisture before storing it. Don't store in non-breathable material or in a damp environment, e.g. plastic bag or damp gym bag. Wipe it dry with a soft towel when needed. Use a damp paper towel to wipe dirt from the training device. To maintain the water resistance, do not wash the training device with a pressure washer. Never use alcohol or any abrasive material such as steel wool or cleaning chemicals. When you connect your M200 to a computer or a charger, check that there is no moisture, hair, dust or dirt on the M200's USB connector. Gently wipe off any dirt or moisture. Don't use any sharp tools for cleaning to avoid scratching. Operating temperatures are -10 °C to +50 °C / +14 °F to +122 °F. STORING Keep your training device in a cool and dry place. Do not keep them in a damp environment, in non-breathable material (a plastic bag or a sports bag) nor with conductive material (a wet towel). Do not expose the training device to direct sunlight for extended periods, such as by leaving it in a car or mounted on the bike mount. It is recommended to store the training device partially or fully charged. The battery slowly loses its charge when it is stored. If you are going to store the training device for several months, it is recommended to recharge it after a few months. This will prolong the battery lifetime. Dry and store the strap and the connector separately to maximize the heart rate sensor battery lifetime. Keep the heart rate sensor in a cool and dry place. To prevent snap oxidation, do not store the heart rate sensor wet in non-breathing material, such as a sports bag. Do not expose the heart rate sensor to direct sunlight for extended periods. 54 SERVICE During the two-year guarantee/warranty period we recommend that you have service done by an authorized Polar Service Center only.

BATTERY At the end of the working life of the product Polar encourages you to minimize possible effects of waste on the environment and human health by following local waste disposal regulations and, where possible, utilizing separate collection of electronic devices. Do not dispose of this product as unsorted municipal waste. CHARGING M200 BATTERY The M200 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. Do not charge the battery in temperatures under 0°C or over +40°C or when the USB port is wet. 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 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"). To charge with your computer just plug your M200 to your computer and at the same time you can have it synced it with FlowSync. 1. Detach the device from the wristband. 2. Plug the M200 into your computer's USB port. Please make sure the USB connector doesn’t bend. If the battery is completely empty, it takes a couple of minutes for the charging to start. 55 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. 3. After syncing, battery icon animation begins to fill up on the display. 4. When the battery icon is full, the M200 is fully charged. 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. BATTERY OPERATING TIME The battery operating time is up to 6 days with 24/7 activity tracking and 1h/day training with GPS and optical heart rate measurement and without Smart Notifications on. The operating time depends on many factors, such as the temperature of the environment in which you use your M200, the features you use, how much the display is on and battery aging. The operating time is significantly reduced in temperatures well below freezing. Wearing the M200 under your overcoat helps to keep it warmer and to increase the operating time. LOW BATTERY NOTIFICATIONS Battery low The battery charge is low. It is recommended to charge M200. Charge The charge is too low for recording a training session. A new training session cannot be started before charging M200. PRECAUTIONS The Polar M200 is designed to measure heart rate and tell your activity. No other use is intended or implied. 56 The training device should not be used for obtaining environmental measurements that require professional or industrial precision. We recommend that once in a while you wash the device and the wrist strap to avoid any skin problems from a dirty bracelet. INTERFERENCE Electromagnetic Interference and Training Equipment Disturbance may occur near electrical devices. Also WLAN base stations may cause interference when training with the training device. To avoid erratic reading or misbehavior, move away from possible sources of disturbance. Training equipment with electronic or electrical components such as LED displays, motors and electrical brakes may cause interfering stray signals. If the training device still does not work with the training equipment, it may be electrically too noisy for wireless heart rate measurement. For further information, www.polar.com/support. MINIMIZING RISKS WHEN TRAINING Training may include some risk. Before beginning a regular training program, it is recommended that you answer the following questions concerning your health status. If you answer yes to any of these questions, we recommend that you consult a doctor before starting any training program. Have you been physically inactive for the past 5 years? Do you have high blood pressure or high blood cholesterol? Are you taking any blood pressure or heart medication? Do you have a history of breathing problems? Do you have symptoms of any disease? Are you recovering from a serious illness or medical treatment? Do you use a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device? Do you smoke? Are you pregnant? Note that in addition to training intensity, medications for heart conditions, blood pressure, psychological conditions, asthma, breathing, etc., as well as some energy drinks, alcohol, and nicotine may also affect heart rate. It is important to be sensitive to your body’s responses during training. If you feel unexpected pain or excessive fatigue when training, it is recommended that you stop the training or continue at a lighter intensity. 57 Note! If you are using a pacemaker, defibrillator or other implanted electronic device, you can use Polar products. In theory interference to pacemaker caused by Polar products should not be possible.
