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"). Do not charge the battery in temperatures under -10 °C or over +50 °C.

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.

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 In time mode with daily activity monitoring

With normal GPS recording and heart rate: up to 13 hours

With GPS power save mode and heart rate: up to 50 hours

l Vibration feedback: Choose On or Off. When set on, V800 vibrates, for example, when you start or

stop a training session, GPS signal is found or you reach a training target.

l Heart rate settings: Heart rate view: Choose Beats per minute (bpm), % of maximum or % of Hr

reserve. Check HR zone limits: Check the limits for each heart rate zone. HR visible to other device: Choose On or Off. If you choose On, other compatible devices (e.g. gym equipment) can

detect your heart rate.

l Bike power settings: Choose Power view, Power, rolling average, Set FTP value or Check

power zone limits. Set how you want to view your power, how frequently data points of your power

are recorded, set your FTP value or view your power zone limits.

Bike power settings are visible only if Kéo Power has been paired.

l GPS recording: Choose Off, Normal or Power save, long session.

l Sport specific tap sensitivity: Choose Off, Light tap, Normal tap, Strong tap or Very strong tap.

Set how hard you have to tap the display when using tap gestures.

l Stride sensor: Choose Calibration or Choose sensor for speed. In Calibration, choose Auto-

matic or Manual. In Choose sensor for speed, set the source for speed data: Stride sensor or GPS.

For more information on Stride sensor calibration, See "Polar Stride Sensor Bluetooth® Smart" on page 86

Stride sensor is visible only if a stride sensor has been paired.

l Calibrate altitude:Set the correct altitude. It is recommended to always manually calibrate altitude

when you know your current altitude.

Altitude calibration is only visible when accessing sport profile settings from pre-training mode.

l Speed View: Choose km/h (kilometers per hour) or min/km(minutes per kilometer). If you have

chosen imperial units, choose mph (miles per hour) or min/mi (minutes per mile).

l Automatic pause: Choose On or Off. If you set the automatic pause On, your session is auto-

matically paused when you stop moving.

GPSrecording must be set to normal to use automatic pause.

l Automatic lap: Choose Off, Lap distance, Lap duration or Location- based. If you choose Lap dis-

tance, set the distance after which each lap is taken. If you choose Lap duration, set the duration

after each lap is taken. If you choose Location- based, a lap will always be taken at a specific loc- ation. (the starting point of your session or POI you have marked during your session)

GPSrecording must be set to normal to use automatic lap.

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 Weight

l Height

l Date of birth

l Sex

l Training background

l Maximum heart rate

l Resting heart rate

l VO2

max

WEIGHT

Set your weight in kilograms (kg) or pounds (lbs).

HEIGHT

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.
