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.
15
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 high accuracy GPS recording and heart rate:
up to 13 hours
With medium accuracy GPS recording and heart
rate: up to 20 hours
Approximately 30 days
With GPS power save mode and heart rate: up to
50 hours
With GPS recording off and heart rate on: up to
100 h
Battery operating time depends on many factors, such as the temperature of the environment in which you
use your training device, the features and sensors you use, and battery aging. The operating time is
significantly reduced in temperatures well below freezing. Wearing the training device under your overcoat
helps to keep it warmer and to increase the operating time.
16
LOW BATTERY NOTIFICATIONS
Battery low. Charge
The battery charge is low. It is recommended to charge V800.
Charge before training
The charge is too low for recording a training session. A new training session cannot be
started before charging V800.
When the display is blank, the battery is empty and V800 has gone to sleep mode.
Charge your V800. If the battery is totally drained, it may take a while for the charging
animation to appear on the display.

PAIRING
Sensors compatible with V800 use Bluetooth Smart ® wireless technology. Before taking a new heart rate
sensor, running sensor, cycling sensor or mobile device (smartphone, tablet) into use, it has to be paired with
your V800. Pairing only takes a few seconds, and ensures that your V800 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.
PAIR A HEART RATE SENSOR WITH V800
There are two ways to pair a heart rate sensor with your V800:
1. Wear your heart rate sensor, and press START in time view to enter pre-training mode.
2. To pair, touch your sensor with V800 is displayed, touch your heart rate sensor with V800, and
wait for it to be found.

5. Pairing completed is displayed when you are done.
When using a H7 heart rate sensor, V800 may detect your heart rate via GymLink transmission before
you have paired it. Make sure you have paired your heart rate sensor before starting training. GymLink
transmission is optimized to be used in swimming, therefore your heart rate is shown in gray in other sport
profiles if you haven't paired your heart rate sensor via Bluetooth®.

3. Completed is displayed when you are done.
Every time you plug in your V800 to your computer, the Polar FlowSync software will transfer your data to
the Polar Flow web service and sync any settings you may have changed. If the syncing does not
automatically start, start FlowSync from the desktop icon (Windows) or from the applications folder (Mac OS
X). Every time a firmware update is available, FlowSync will notify you, and request you to install it.
If you change settings in the Flow web service while your V800 is plugged into your computer, press the
synchronize button on FlowSync to transfer to the settings to your V800.
