CHARGE THE BATTERY
After unboxing your V800, the first thing you need to do is charge the battery. Let your V800 fully charge before taking it into use for the first time.
The V800 has an internal, rechargeable battery. Use the custom USB cable included in the product set to charge it via the USB port on your computer. You can also charge the battery via a wall outlet. When charging via a wall outlet use a USB power adapter (not included in the product set). If you use an AC adapter, make sure that the adapter is marked with "output 5Vdc 0.5A - 2A max". Only use an AC adapter which is adequately safety approved (marked with "LPS", "Limited Power Supply" or "UL listed").
1. Snap the custom USB connector onto your V800.
2. Plug the other end of the cable into your computer’s USB port.
3.
Charging appears on the display.
4. When V800 is fully charged, Charging completed is displayed.
13
Make sure the USB connector snaps firmly into place, and that the Polar logo on the USB connector and V800 are facing the same direction.
BATTERY OPERATING TIME
In continuous use
With normal GPS recording and heart rate: up to
13 hours
With GPS power save mode and heart rate: up to
50 hours
With GPS recording off and heart rate on: up to
100 h

Battery operating time depends on many factors, such as the temperature of the environment in which you use your training device, the features and sensors you use, and battery aging. The operating time is significantly reduced in temperatures well below freezing. Wearing the training device under your overcoat helps to keep it warmer and to increase the operating time.
LOW BATTERY NOTIFICATIONS

PAIRING
Sensors compatible with V800 use Bluetooth Smart ® wireless technology. Before taking a new heart rate sensor, running sensor, cycling sensor or mobile device (smartphone, tablet) into use, it has to be paired with your V800. Pairing only takes a few seconds, and ensures that your V800 receives signals from your sensors and devices only, and allows disturbance-free training in a group. Before entering an event or race, make sure that you do the pairing at home to prevent interference due to data transmission.
