Setup

After waking up the watch, choose your language and setup method. The watch gives you three options for setup:
(A) set up on your phone,
(B) on your computer or
(C) on your watch.
Browse to the option most convenient for you with UP/DOWN and confirm your selection with OK. We recommend option A or B. You’ll get the latest updates for your watch by setting it up on your phone or on your computer.

A Set up on your phone

You have to do the pairing in the Polar Flow app and NOT in your phone’s Bluetooth settings.

Make sure your phone is connected to the internet and turn on Bluetooth®.
Download the Polar Flow app from the App Store or Google Play.
Open the Flow app on your phone. The Flow app recognizes your watch and prompts you to start pairing it. Tap the Start button.
Accept the Bluetooth pairing request on your phone. Confirm the pin code on your watch and the pairing is done.
Sign in with your Polar account or create a new one. We’ll walk you through the sign-up and setup within the app.

When you’re done with the settings, tap Save and sync and your settings are synced to your watch.

B Set up on your computer

Go to flow.polar.com/start and download and then install the Polar FlowSync data transfer software to your computer.
Sign in with your Polar account or create a new one. We’ll walk you through the sign-up and setup within the Polar Flow web service

To get the most accurate and personal training and activity data, it’s important that you’re precise with the settings in the setup.
To keep your watch up to date, always update the firmware whenever a new version is available. You’ll be notified via Flow when a new version is available.

Wear

To get accurate heart rate readings during training, make sure that you wear the watch correctly:

Wear the watch on top of your wrist, at least a finger’s width up from the wrist bone.
Tighten the wristband firmly around your wrist. The sensor on the back must be in constant touch with your skin and the watch should not be able to move on your arm.

Every now and then loosen the wristband a bit for a more comfortable fit and to let your skin breathe.

| Your watch is also compatible with Polar heart rate sensors that you can buy as accessories. Find a full list of compatible sensors and accessories at support.polar.com/en

Train

Wear your watch and tighten the wristband.
Press BACK to enter the main menu, choose Start training , and then browse to a sport profile.
Go outdoors and away from tall buildings and trees. Keep your watch still with the display upwards to catch GPS satellite signals. The circle around the GPS icon will turn green when the GPS is ready.
The watch has found your heart rate when your heart rate is shown.
When all signals are found, press OK to start training recording.

Pause and stop training

Press BACK to pause your training session. To continue training, press OK. To stop the session, press and hold BACK when paused until Recording ended is displayed.

Take care of your watch

Keep your watch clean by rinsing it under running water after each training session. Before charging, please make sure there’s no moisture, dust or dirt on the charging contacts of your watch and cable. Gently wipe off any dirt or moisture. Do not charge the watch when it’s wet.

Polar Flow

Analyze your training results, activity and sleep on the go with the Flow app and in-depth in the Flow web service. Remember to sync your watch regularly with Polar Flow to keep your data up to date between your watch, the mobile app and the web service.

The radio equipment operates 2.402 – 2.480 GHz ISM frequency band(s) and 5 mW maximum power.
The Polar Precision Prime optical heart rate sensor fusion technology uses a very small, safe amount of electric current on the skin to measure the contact of the device to your wrist to enhance accuracy.
