SMART NOTIFICATIONS (IOS)
The smart notifications feature allows you to get alerts about incoming calls, messages and notifications from
apps onto your Polar device. You’ll get the same notifications on your Polar device that you get on your phone
screen. The smart notifications feature is available for both iOS and Android.
SETTINGS
Your Polar device needs to be paired with Flow app to receive alerts and notifications, and you also need to
have the correct settings on your Polar device and phone.
After updating the firmware of your Polar device, you need to pair it with Flow app again in order for the
smart notifications settings to appear. If you do not pair them again, the setting will not become visible.
V800
Notifications are off by default. Set them on in Menu > Settings > General settings > Smart notifications.
l Choose On to receive notifications, and have the contents of the notifications shown the display.
l Choose On (no preview) if you don’t want to see the contents of the notifications on the display. You’ll
just be informed that you’ve received a notification.
l Notif. do not disturb: If you want to disable notifications and call alerts for a certain period of time, set
Do not disturb on. Then set the time period when Do not disturb is on (default 10 pm - 7 am). When Do
not disturb is on, you will not receive any notifications or call alerts during the time period you have set.
Phone
The notification settings on your phone determine what notifications you receive on your Polar device. To edit
the notification settings on your iOS phone:
1. Go to Settings > Notification Center.
2. Make sure the apps that you would like to receive notifications from are listed under Include and have
their notification style set to Banner or Alerts.
You will not receive notifications from apps listed under Do Not Include.
USE
When getting an alert, your Polar device will discreetly notify you by vibrating. When receiving a call, you can
choose to answer, silence or decline it (only with iOS 8). Silencing just silences your Polar device, it won’t
silence your phone. If a notification arrives during a call alert, it will not be shown.
During a training session you can receive calls, and get navigation directions (only with Google maps) if you
have Flow app running on your phone. You will not receive any notifications (email, calendar, apps etc.) during
training sessions.
