GET STARTED

SET UP YOUR A370

When you get hold of your new A370, it’s in storage mode. It wakes up when you plug it into a computer for setup or a USB charger for charging. We recommend that you charge the battery before you start using your A370. If the battery is completely empty, it takes a couple of minutes for the charging to start. See Batteries for detailed information on charging the battery, battery operating times and low battery notifications.

CHOOSE ONE OPTION FOR SETUP: COMPUTER OR A COMPATIBLE MOBILE DEVICE

You can choose how to set up your A370, with a computer and a USBcable or wirelessly with a compatible mobile device. Both methods require an Internet connection.
l Mobile setup is convenient if you don't have access to a computer with a USB port, but it might take
longer.
l Wired setup is quicker and you can charge your A370 at the same time, but you need a USB cable and
computer available.

OPTION A: SET UP WITH YOUR COMPUTER

1. Go to flow.polar.com/start and install the FlowSync software to set up your A370 and update the firm-
ware if needed.

11
(C).

When closing the USB cover, make sure it fits flush on the device.
After the setup is done, you’re ready to go. Have fun!

OPTION B: SET UP WITH POLAR FLOW APP USING YOUR MOBILE DEVICE OR TABLET

Polar A370 connects to the Polar Flow mobile app wirelessly via Bluetooth Smart, so remember to have it turned on in your mobile device.
1. To make sure there’s enough charge in your A370 during the mobile setup, just plug the USB cable in a powered USB port or a USB power adapter. Make sure that the adapter is marked with "output 5Vdc" and that it provides a minimum of 500mA. The display begins to show an animated circle with Bluetooth and USB icons.
Don't charge the device when its USB port is wet. If the USB port of your A370 has gotten
wet, let it dry up before plugging in.
