Battery Operating Time; Low Battery Notifications - Polar Electro M430 User Manual

Before charging, make sure there's no moisture, hair, dust or dirt on the M430's USB port or charging
cable. Gently wipe off any dirt and blow out the dust. You can use a toothpick if needed. Do not use any sharp
tools for cleaning to avoid scratching.
To charge with your computer, just plug your M430 to your computer, and at the same time, you can have it
synced it with FlowSync.
1. Plug the USB connector into the USB port in the M430, and plug the other end of the cable into your
PC.
2. Charging appears on the display.
3. When the battery icon is full, the M430 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 8 hours training with GPS and optical heart rate, or
•
up to 30 hours training with GPS power save mode and optical heart rate, or
•
up to 50 hours training with GPS power save mode and Bluetooth Smart heart rate sensor, or
•
when used only in time mode with daily activity monitoring, the operating time is approximately 20 days.
The operating time depends on many factors, such as the temperature of the environment in which you use
your M430, the features and sensors you use, and battery aging. Smart notifications and frequent syncing with
Flow app will also decrease the battery life. The operating time is significantly reduced in temperatures well
below freezing. Wearing the M430 under your overcoat helps to keep it warmer and to increase the operating
time.

LOW BATTERY NOTIFICATIONS

be started before charging M430.
Low battery notifications during training:

•
If Battery low is shown during training, the heart rate measurement and GPS are switched off.
