PAIRING PAIR A MOBILE DEVICE WITH YOUR OH1 If you've done the setup for your OH1 with a mobile device as described in chapter Setting up your OH1, your OH1 has already been paired. If you did the setup with a computer and would like to use your OH1 with Polar Flow app, please pair your OH1 and mobile as follows: Before pairing a mobile device • download Flow app from the App Store or Google Play • make sure your mobile device has Bluetooth turned on, and airplane mode/flight mode is not turned on.
PAIR OH1 WITH POLAR BEAT Press the button until the lights are switched on, and release. OH1 is now on. See detailed device-specific pairing information at polar.com/support.
UPDATING THE FIRMWARE You can update the firmware of your OH1 yourself to keep it up to date. Firmware updates are performed to improve the functionality of your OH1. They can include improvements to existing features, completely new features or bug fixes. We recommend that you update the firmware of your OH1 every time a new version is available. You won't lose any data due to the firmware update. Before the update begins, the data from your OH1 is synced to the Flow web service.
HEART RATE TRAINING Although there are many subjective clues as to how your body is doing during exercise (perceived exertion, breathing rate, physical sensations), none of them are as reliable as measuring heart rate. It is objective and affected by both internal and external factors—meaning that you will have a dependable measure of your physical state.
START A TRAINING SESSION WITH A POLAR WRIST UNIT Before starting, make sure the OH1 is paired with your Polar wrist unit. For details see "Pairing" on page 8 1. Press the button until the lights are switched on, and release. 2. OH1 is now on, and can be used as a heart rate sensor with a Polar wrist unit. 3. Start the session from your Polar wrist unit. START A TRAINING SESSION WITH POLAR BEAT Before starting, make sure the OH1 is paired with Polar Beat. For details see "Pairing" on page 8 1.

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.
CHARGING OH1 BATTERY The OH1 has an internal, rechargeable battery. Rechargeable batteries have a limited number of charge cycles. You can charge and discharge the battery over 300 times before a notable decrease in its capacity. The number of charge cycles also varies according to use and operating conditions. Do not charge the battery in temperatures under 0 °C/ +32 °F or over +40 °C/ +104 °F or when the charging contacts are wet.
CARING FOR YOUR OH1 Like any electronic device, the Polar OH1 should be kept clean and treated with care. The instructions below will help you fulfill the guarantee obligations, keep the device in peak condition and avoid any issues in charging or syncing. Do not machine wash the armband. KEEP YOUR OH1 CLEAN Wipe any dirt or mud off OH1 after each training session with a soft towel. Keep the OH1 and OH1 holder charging contacts and USB connector clean to ensure smooth charging and syncing.
TAKE GOOD CARE OF THE OPTICAL HEART RATE SENSOR Keep the optical sensor area scratch-free. Scratches and dirt will reduce the performance of optical heart rate measurement. STORING Keep your training device in a cool and dry place. Do not keep it in a damp environment, in non-breathable material (a plastic bag or a sports bag) nor with conductive material (a wet towel). Do not expose the training device to direct sunlight for extended periods, such as by leaving it in a car.
Training equipment with electronic or electrical components such as LED displays, motors and electrical brakes may cause interfering stray signals. If the training device still does not work with the training equipment, it may be electrically too noisy for wireless heart rate measurement. For further information, www.polar.com/support. MINIMIZING RISKS WHEN TRAINING Training may include some risk.
Your safety is important to us. The shape of the Polar stride sensor Bluetooth® Smart is designed to minimize the possibility of if getting caught in something. In any case, be careful when running with the stride sensor in brushwood, for example. The combined impact of moisture and intense abrasion may cause color to come off the heart rate sensor’s surface, possibly staining clothes.
