How to get started
Congratulations on your great choice! In this guide we'll walk you
through the first steps in starting to use your new Polar Vantage V.
1. To wake up and charge your watch, plug it into a powered USB
port or a USB charger with the custom cable that came in the box.
The cable magnetically snaps into place, just make sure to align the
ledge on the cable with the slot on your watch (marked with red).
Please note that it may take a while for the charging animation to
appear on the display.
2. To set up your watch, choose your language and preferred setup
method. The watch gives you three options for setup: set up (A) with
a mobile device, (B) with a computer or (C) from the watch. Browse
to the option most convenient for you with UP/DOWN and confirm
your selection with OK. We recommend option
A
or B.
To get the most accurate and personal training and activity data,
it's important that you're precise with the settings in the setup.
Options
A
and B: If there is a firmware update available for your
watch, we recommend you install it during the setup. It may take
up to 10 minutes to complete.
A
SET UP WITH A MOBILE DEVICE AND POLAR FLOW APP
Please note that you have to do the pairing in the Flow app and NOT in
your mobile device's Bluetooth settings.
1. Make sure your mobile device is connected to the internet and
turn on Bluetooth®.
2. Download the Polar Flow app from the App Store or Google Play on
your mobile device.
3. Open the Flow app on your mobile device.
4. The Flow app recognizes your Vantage V nearby and prompts
you to start pairing it. Accept the pairing request and enter the
Bluetooth pairing code shown on the watch display to Flow app.
5. Sign in with your Polar account or create a new one. We'll walk you
through the sign-up and setup within the app.
When you're done with the settings, tap
Save and sync
and your
settings are synced to your watch.
B
SET UP WITH A COMPUTER
1. Go to flow.polar.com/start and download and then install the
Polar FlowSync data transfer software to your computer.
2. Sign in with your Polar account or create a new one. We'll walk
you through the sign-up and setup within the Polar Flow web
service.
C
SET UP FROM THE WATCH
Adjust the values with UP/DOWN and confirm each selection with
OK. If you want to return and change a setting at any point, press
BACK until you reach the setting you want to change.
When you do the setup from the watch, your watch is not yet
connected with Polar Flow. Firmware updates for your watch are
available only through Polar Flow. To make sure you get to enjoy
your watch and the unique Polar features at their best, it's important
that you do the setup later in the Polar Flow web service or with the
Polar Flow mobile app by following the steps in option
A
or B.
