Plug in Your Polar Loop 2

Your new Polar Loop 2 is in storage mode and it wakes up when you plug it into a computer for setup.

Plug in your Polar Loop 2 to your computer's USB port with the cable provided in the sales package. The magnetic end of the cable snaps into place when it's properly connected to your bracelet. Let your computer install any suggested USB drivers.
