GET STARTED

To make sure you get to enjoy your V650 at its best, please go to flow.polar.com/start where simple instruc- tions will guide you through setting up your V650, downloading the latest firmware and taking the Flow web ser­vice into use.
If you’re in a hurry for your first run with V650, you can do a quick set up by entering the basic settings on the device, as instructed in Basic Settings.

CHARGE THE BATTERY

After unboxing your V650, the first thing you need to do is charge the battery. Let your V650 fully charge before taking it into use for the first time.
The V650 has an internal, rechargeable battery. Use the USB cable included in the product set to charge your V650 via the USB connector 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 1A-2A max". Only use an AC adapter which is adequately safety approved (marked with "LPS", "Limited Power Supply" or "UL listed").
1. Push down to open the cap.
2. Lift the cap and plug the micro USB connector into the USB port.
3. Plug the other end of the cable into your PC.
4. The charging animation appears on the display. Charging the battery fully takes up to five hours.
The operating time of the battery is approximately 10 hours. The operating time depends on many factors, such as the temperature of the environment in which you use your V650, the features you select and use, and battery aging. The operating time is significantly reduced in temperatures well below freezing.
Don't leave the battery fully discharged for a long period of time or keep it fully charged all the time,
because it might affect the battery life time.

PAIRING SENSORS WITH V650

Sensors compatible with V650 use Bluetooth Smart ® wireless technology. Before taking a new heart rate sensor or cycling sensor into use, it has to be paired with your V650. Pairing only takes a few seconds, and ensures that your V650 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.
For more information on pairing specific sensors, see Compatible Sensors.
