Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using your Garmin Forerunner 170 Music, first install the Garmin Connect app on your smartphone to pair the device via Bluetooth. Ensure your device is running the latest firmware by checking for updates within the app. For care, clean the watch casing and silicone strap with a damp cloth after every workout to remove sweat and debris. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the screen coating or sensor housing. While the watch is water-resistant, it is recommended to dry the charging port completely before connecting the charging cable to prevent pin corrosion.
