PIN CODE LOCK
Keep your training information safe by setting a PIN code on your V650. It's a handy way to make sure that only you have access to your training information.
Tap
PIN CODE LOCK
to turn the function on. Enter a four-digit PIN code and tap . Re-enter and tap to confirm.
The V650 will ask for your PIN code every time it is turned on.
If you forget your PIN code, you can do a Factory reset on your V650. It removes V650’s connection to your user account and deletes any saved data on it.
1. Plug in your V650 to your computer’s USB port and go to Polar FlowSync software. The Polar
FlowSync software transfers your training information to the Polar Flow web service.
2. Go to Settings and choose Factory Reset.
3. Go to the Polar Flow web service ( flow.polar.com/V650 ) and repeat what you did when you first started using the product.
FRONT LIGHT
The function of the front light on the top edge of the V650 is to optimize your cycling security in dark conditions. It's an intelligent feature that you can set to turn on automatically when it gets dark and to turn off when it gets bright. Alternatively, you can manage it manually from the pull-down menu.

MEASURING THE WHEEL SIZE
Wheel size settings are a prerequisite for accurate cycling information. There are two ways to determine the wheel size of your bike:
Method 1
Measure the wheel manually for the most accurate result.
21
Use the valve to mark the point where the wheel touches the ground. Draw a line on the ground to mark the point. Move your bike forward on a flat surface for one complete rotation. The tire should be perpendicular to the ground. Draw another line on the ground when the valve is at the starting point to mark a full rotation. Measure the distance between the two lines.
Subtract 4 mm from the distance to account for your weight on the bike to get your wheel circumference. Enter this value in the cycling computer.
Method 2
Look for the diameter in inches or in ETRTO printed on the wheel. Match it to the wheel size in millimeters in the right column of the chart.
You can also check the wheel size from the manufacturer.

HR MAX
HR MAX
:Set your maximum heart rate, if you know your laboratory measured 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.
About maximum heart rate
HR max is used to estimate energy expenditure. HR max is the highest number of heartbeats per minute during maximum physical exertion. HR max is also useful when determining training intensity. The most accurate method for determining your individual HR max is to perform a maximal exercise stress test in a laboratory.
RESTING HR
RESTING HR
: Set your resting heart rate.
About 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 the 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 be below 30 bpm. An exceptionally high HR rest illness.
can be a sign of over-exertion or
VO2 MAX
VO2max
: Set your maximal oxygen uptake, VO2 max
.
About VO2
max
A clear link exists between oxygen consumption (VO2) 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 work; it is related directly to the maximal capacity of the heart to deliver blood to the muscles. VO2 max can be measured or predicted by fitness tests (e.g. maximal tests, submaximal tests, Polar
Fitness Test). VO2 max is a good index of cardiorespiratory fitness and a good predictor of performance capability in aerobic events such as distance running, cycling, crosscountry skiing, and swimming.
24
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).
The relationship between oxygen uptake (VO2) and heart rate (HR) is linear within an individual during dynamic exercise. Percentages of VO
2max
HR max with the following formula: %HR max
= (%VO2 max can be changed to % of
+ 28.12)/1.28.
VO2 max is the basic variable of the intensity of exercise. When determining target exercise intensities heart rate is more practical and useful because it is easily and noninvasively obtained, e.g. on-line during exercise with heart rate monitors.
FIRMWARE UPDATE
The firmware of your V650 can be updated. Any time a new firmware version is available, FlowSync will notify you when connecting V650 to your computer with the USB cable. The firmware updates are downloaded via the USB cable and FlowSync software.
