How to get started

1. To wake up and charge your watch, plug it into a powered USB port or a USB charger with the custom cable that came in the box.

2. To set up your watch, choose your language and setup method. The watch gives you three options for setup: set up (A) 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.

To get the most accurate and personal training and activity data, it’s important that you’re precise with the settings in the setup.

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.

1. Make sure your phone is connected to the internet and turn on Bluetooth®.
2. Download the Polar Flow app from the App Store or Google Play.
3. Open the Flow app on your phone. The Flow app recognizes your watch and prompts you to start pairing it. Tap the Start Button.
4. Accept the Bluetooth pairing request on your phone. Confirm the pin code on your watch and the pairing is done.
5. 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

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

If there is a firmware update available for your watch, we recommend you install it during the setup. It may take up to 10 minutes to complete.

**** Your watch syncs your training data with the Flow mobile app automatically if your phone is within the Bluetooth range and the Flow app is running. You can also sync your training data manually with the Flow app by pressing and holding the BACK button of your watch.

Wrist-based heart rate

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.

When not measuring heart rate, 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 with chest straps. You can buy a heart rate sensor as an accessory. Find a full list of sensors and accessories your watch is compatible with at support.polar.com/en/compatibility

Start training

1. Wear your watch and tighten the wristband.
2. Press BACK to enter the main menu, choose Start training, and then browse to a sports profile.
3. 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.
4. The watch has found your heart rate when your heart rate is shown.
5. 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. You’ll get a summary of your training session on your watch right after you’ve stopped training.

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.
