We recommend option A or B .

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.

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.

B SET UP ON YOUR COMPUTER

• Tighten the wristband a bit more tightly 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.

Wrist bone

When not measuring heart rate or tracking sleep, loosen the wristband to let your skin breathe.

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.
