Settings - Polar Electro M430 User Manual

There are four default sport profiles on your M430: Running, Cycling, Other outdoor and Other indoor. You can
add new sport profiles to your sports list and edit their settings in the Polar Flow app or web service. Your
M430 can contain a maximum of 20 sport profiles. If you have over 20 sport profiles in the Polar Flow app and
web service, the first 20 in the list are transferred to your M430 when syncing.
If you have edited your sport profiles in the Flow web service before your first training session, and
synced them to your M430, the sport profile list will contain the edited sport profiles.
