Questions answered in these manuals
How do I activate the Polar CS600X cycling computer?
Press the OK button twice to activate the device; once activated it cannot be switched off.
How can I change the language on the CS600X?
Select the Language option in the basic settings and choose from English, Deutsch, Español, Français, or Italiano.
How can I reset the watch if the buttons do not respond?
Press and hold all buttons simultaneously for about 2 seconds until numbers appear on the display, then release to reset the device.
Why does the altitude reading change when I am not moving?
The watch converts atmospheric pressure into altitude, so changes in weather or ambient pressure can cause the displayed altitude to vary even while stationary.
