KEY FEATURES
Polar V650 offers a host of unique features to help you ride better.
Here you can find a summary of the most important ones.
PROFILES
V650 has three profiles for cycling (and one profile for other sports).
You can customize each profile with up to six different training views, to see the information you really want.
INTEGRATED GPS
With an integrated GPS, V650 tracks your cycling speed, distance and route. The Back-to-start and Route tracking features help you travel all the way back to the starting point of your trip.
BAROMETRIC PRESSURE SENSOR
In addition to altitude, your V650 measures comprehensive data such as ascent/descent, incline/decline, real-time VAM (mean ascent velocity) and altitude compensated calories.
TRAINING BENEFIT
V650 gives motivating feedback about the effect of your training immediately after your session.
GET STARTED
To make sure you get to enjoy your V650 at its best, please go to flow.polar.com/start where simple instructions will guide you through setting up your V650, downloading the latest firmware and taking the Flow web service into use.

2. Position the bike mount on the rubber base so that the
POLAR logo is in line with the handlebar.

TRAINING WITH YOUR V650
When you use our heart rate sensors when riding, you get the most out of Polar’s unique Smart Coaching features. Heart rate data gives you an insight into your physical condition and how your body responds to training. This will help you fine-tune your training plans and achieve your goals more effectively.
TRAINING WITH HEART RATE
If you bought your V650 without a heart rate sensor, not to worry, you can buy one at any time.
1. Moisten the electrode area of the strap.
2. Attach the connector to the strap.
3. Tie the strap around your chest, just below the chest muscles, and attach the hook to the other end of the strap. Adjust the strap length to fit tightly but comfortably.
4. Before starting your first training session, you need to pair the heart rate sensor with your
V650. While wearing the heart rate sensor, go to Settings > General
settings > Pairing > Pair
new device.
Detach the connector from the strap, and rinse the strap under running waterafter every training session. Sweat and moisture may keep the heart rate sensor activated, so also remember to wipe it dry.
START TRAINING
Choose the profile you want to use. Keep your V650 still with the display facing upwards until it finds the GPS satellite signals. This typically takes 30-60 seconds the first time. On future occasions it should take only a few seconds. V650 is ready once the green circle around GPS is static. Press the front button to begin your ride.
DURING TRAINING
The bright color touch screen allows you to easily check your training data during your ride. Change the training views with a quick swipe across the screen.
