IMPORTANT INFORMATION
BATTERY
At the end of the working life of the product Polar encourages you to minimize possible effects of waste on the environment
and human health by following local waste disposal regulations and, where possible, utilizing separate collection of
electronic devices. Do not dispose of this product as unsorted municipal waste.
BATTERY LIFETIME AND OPERATIONAL TIME
The Polar Unite has an internal, rechargeable battery. Rechargeable batteries have a limited number of charge cycles. You
can charge and discharge the battery over 500 times before a notable decrease in its capacity. The number of charge cycles
also varies according to use and operating conditions.
The battery operating time is:
Up to 50 hours in training mode with optical heart rate and connected GPS, or
l
Up to 4 days in watch mode with continuous heart rate measurement.
l
The operating time depends on many factors, such as the temperature of the environment in which you use your watch, the
features and sensors you use, and battery aging. Phone notifications and frequent syncing with Flow app will also decrease
the battery life. The operating time is significantly reduced in temperatures well below freezing. Wearing your watch under
your overcoat helps to keep it warmer and to increase the operating time.
The Continuous heart rate tracking is on by default in Polar Unite. Keeping the Continuous heart rate tracking on
in your watch will drain the battery quicker. Using the night-time only mode will extend the battery life. You can
turn the Continuous heart rate tracking on, off or to night-time only mode on your watch in Settings > General
settings > Continuous HR tracking.
Backlight always on during training: With always on the watch display will be illuminated throughout your
training session. The backlight setting will default back to automatic after you finish your training session.
Please note that selecting always on will drain your battery much faster.
CHARGING THE BATTERY
