Help getting started with my Polar FT4?

I took the unit out of the box and watched the training video. I turned it on and got it to display "please enter basic settings." But then I got distracted by the video and when I looked back down it was just displaying the (incorrect) time and date. I can't seem to get back to enter any settings. The manual says to hold down set, but that just starts a workout.
I feel pretty dumb, I've had it out of the box five minutes and I'm already completely stymied!

Push the up button on the right. That will get you into the menu to choose "settings". Be sure you're watching all of the FT4 videos:

(I had to use the pause button a lot while watching the videos.)0 -
Thanks, that worked! And yeah, I'm pausing the videos every ten seconds!0
