First-time use

Before you can start using your Polar 360, you need to pair and set it up with the app. The Polar 360 will automatically turn on when you plug it in to charge. Once plugged in, you can set it up using the app.

The Polar 360 connects to your phone via Bluetooth. Bluetooth turns on automatically when you plug in the device to charge and stays on unless the battery runs out or the device is turned off via the app settings.

Charge

To charge your Polar 360, plug it into a powered USB port or a USB charger using the custom cable that came with the product set.

During charging, the four red LEDs light up in a repeating clockwise sequence. When the battery is fully charged, all four red LEDs remain on.

If the battery is completely empty, it may take several minutes for the charging to start. See Batteries for detailed information on charging the battery.

Set up

After plugging in your Polar 360 to charge, you can set it up using the application. Refer to the application developer’s user guide for setup, pairing, and usage instructions. Keep your Polar 360 close to your phone during the setup and pairing.

If you unplug Polar 360 from the charger before it is set up and paired with a phone, the device continues searching for a connection to a phone for 30 minutes before turning off. During the search, the four red LEDs light up one at a time in a repeating clockwise sequence, faster than during charging. To restart the search, plug the device into a charger again.

Troubleshooting Polar 360 Setup

If you're having trouble setting up your Polar 360 with your phone and the app, make sure that Bluetooth is turned on in your phone and the airplane mode/flight mode is off. You can try to fix a problem in the Bluetooth connection by turning it off and on again in the phone's settings.

The Polar 360 has to be set up with your phone using the app, not in your phone's Bluetooth settings. If you have paired the device with your phone in your phone's Bluetooth settings, follow the instructions below to unpair the Bluetooth connection, and then set up the device using the app.

  1. On your phone remove your device from the list of paired Bluetooth devices as follows: iOS: Go to Settings > Bluetooth, tap the icon to the right of your device and choose Forget this Device. Android: Go to Settings > Bluetooth, choose your device and Forget this Device.
  2. To remove the pairing from your device, reset it to factory settings by pressing the restart/reset button with a pin when the device is plugged in to a powered USB port or a USB charger. For detailed instructions, see Restarting and resetting.
  3. Follow the instructions for setting up the device with the app.
