Polar Flow
The radio equipment operates 2.402 - 2.480 GHz ISM frequency band(s)
and 5 mW maximum power.
The Polar Precision Prime optical heart rate sensor fusion technology uses
a very small, safe amount of electric current on the skin to measure the
contact of the device to your wrist to enhance accuracy.
Information about materials and technical specifications are available in
the user manual at support.polar.com/en.
For instructions on changing the wristband see this video:
bit.ly/polar-wristband.
Analyze your training results, activity and sleep on the go with
the Flow app and in-depth in the Flow web service. Remember to
sync your watch regularly with Polar Flow to keep your data up to
date between your watch, the mobile app and the web service.
Wear
Wrist bone
Your watch is also compatible with Polar heart rate
sensors that you can buy as accessories. Find a full list
of compatible sensors and accessories at
support.polar.com/en.
To get accurate heart rate readings during training, make sure
that you wear the watch correctly:
Every now and then loosen the wristband a bit for a more
comfortable fit and to let your skin breathe.
• Wear the watch on top of your wrist, at least a finger’s width
up from the wrist bone.
• Tighten the wristband firmly around your wrist. The sensor
on the back must be in constant touch with your skin and
the watch should not be able to move on your arm.
