SPORT PROFILE SETTINGS
Adjust the sport profile settings to best suit your training needs. In V800 you can edit certain sport profiles settings in Settings > Sport profiles . You can, for example, set the GPS on or off in different sports.
There are seven sport profiles shown in the pre-training mode by default. In the Flow web service you can add new sports to your list, and sync them to your V800. You can have a maximum of 20 sports on your V800 at a time. The number of sport profiles in the Flow web service is not limited.
By default, in the Sport profiles you'll find:
26
l
Running l
Cycling l
Swimming l
Other outdoor l
Other indoor l
Triathlon l
Free multisport
If you have edited your sport profiles in the Flow web service before your first training session,and synced them to your V800, the sport profile list will contain the edited sport profiles.
SETTINGS
To view or modify sport profile settings, go to Settings > Sport profiles and choose the profile you want to edit. You can also access sport profile settings from pre-training mode by pressing and holding LIGHT. In sport profiles, that include multiple sports (e.g. triathlon and biathlon) the settings for each sport can be modified. For example, in triathlon you can modify the settings for swimming, cycling and running.

PHYSICAL SETTINGS
To view and edit your physical settings, go to Settings > Physical settings . It is important that you are precise with the physical settings, especially when setting your weight, height, date of birth and sex, as they have an impact on the accuracy of the measuring values, such as the heart rate zone limits and calorie expenditure.
In Physical settings you'll find: l

Set your height in centimeters (metric) or in feet and inches (imperial).
DATE OF BIRTH
Set your birthday. The order in which the date settings are depends on which time and date format you have chosen (24h: day - month - year / 12h: month - day - year).
SEX
Select Male or Female .
TRAINING BACKGROUND
Training background is an assessment of your long-term physical activity level. Select the alternative that best describes the overall amount and intensity of your physical activity during the past three months.
l
Occasional (0-1h/week) : You do not participate regularly in programmed recreational sport or heavy physical activity, e.g. you walk only for pleasure or exercise hard enough to cause heavy breathing or perspiration only occasionally.
l
Regular (1-3h/week) : You participate regularly in recreational sports, e.g. you run 5-10 km or 3-6 miles per week or spend 1-3 hours per week in comparable physical activity, or your work requires modest physical activity.
l
Frequent (3-5h/week) : You participate at least 3 times a week in heavy physical exercise, e.g. you run
20-50 km/12-31 miles per week or spend 3-5 hours per week in comparable physical activity.
l
Heavy (5-8h/week) : You participate in heavy physical exercise at least 5 times a week, and you may sometimes take part in mass sports events.
l
Semi-pro (8-12h/week) : You participate in heavy physical exercise almost daily, and you exercise to improve performance for competitive purposes.
l
Pro (>12h/week) : You are an endurance athlete. You participate in heavy physical exercise to improve your performance for competitive purposes.
MAXIMUM HEART RATE
Set your maximum heart rate, if you know your current maximum heart rate value. Your age-predicted maximum heart rate value (220-age) is displayed as a default setting when you set this value for the first time.
HR max is used to estimate energy expenditure. HR max is the highest number of heartbeats per minute during maximum physical exertion.The most accurate method for determining your individual HR maximal exercise stress test in a laboratory. HR max individual and depends on age and hereditary factors.
max is to perform a is also crucial when determining training intensity. It is
29
RESTING HEART RATE
Set your resting heart rate.
A person’s resting heart rate (HR rest
) is the lowest number of heart beats per minute (bpm) when fully relaxed and without distractions. Age, fitness level, genetics, health status and gender affect HR rest
. HR rest is decreased as the result of cardiovascular conditioning. A normal value for an adult is 60-80 bpm, but for top athletes it can even be below 40 bpm.
VO
2MAX
Set your VO2 max
.
A clear link exists between maximal oxygen consumption (VO2 max
) of the body and cardiorespiratory fitness because oxygen delivery to tissues is dependent on lung and heart function. VO2 max
(maximal oxygen uptake, maximal aerobic power) is the maximal rate at which oxygen can be used by the body during maximal exercise; it is related directly to the maximal capacity of the heart to deliver blood to the muscles. VO2 max be measured or predicted by fitness tests (e.g. maximal exercise tests, submaximal exercise tests, Polar can
Fitness Test). VO2 max is a good index of cardiorespiratory fitness and a good predictor of performance capability in endurance events such as distance running, cycling, cross-country skiing, and swimming.
VO2 max can be expressed either as milliliters per minute (ml/min = ml ■ min-1) or this value can be divided by the person’s body weight in kilograms (ml/kg/min = ml ■ kg-1■ min-1).

FIRMWARE UPDATE
The firmware of your V800 can be updated. Any time a new firmware version is available, FlowSync will notify you when connecting V800 to your computer with the USB cable. The firmware updates are downloaded via the USB cable and FlowSync software. Flow app will also notify you when new firmware is available.
Firmware updates are performed to improve the functionality of your V800. To make sure your V800 always works at its best, we recommend that you update the firmware every time a new version available. Updates can include improvements to existing features, completely new features or bug fixes, for example.
HOW TO UPDATE FIRMWARE
To update the firmware of your V800, you must have: l
A Flow web service account l
Installed FlowSync software l
Registered your V800 in the Flow web service
34
Go to flow.polar.com/start , and create your Polar account in the Polar Flow web service and download and install FlowSync software onto your PC.
To update the firmware:
1. Snap the custom USB connector onto your V800, and plug the other end of the cable into your PC.
2. FlowSync starts syncing your data.
3. After syncing, you are asked to update the firmware.
4. Choose Yes. New firmware is installed (this may take some time), and V800 reboots.
Before updating the firmware, the most important data from your V800 is synced to the Flow web service.
Therefore you will not lose important data when updating.
RESET V800
Like any electronic device, V800 is recommended to be switched off every now and then. If you experience problems with your V800, try resetting it. Reset your V800 by pressing and holding the UP, DOWN, BACK and LIGHT buttons simultaneously for five seconds until the Polar animation is shown on the display. This is called a soft reset, and it will not erase your data.
