Dismiss Notifications
Notifications can be dismissed manually or by timeout. Manually dismissing the notification also dismisses it
from your phone screen, but timeout just removes it from your Polar device, and it will still be visible on your
phone.
To dismiss notifications from the display:
l Manually: Press the BACK button
l Timeout: The notification will disappear after 30 seconds if you do not dismiss it manually
Do Not Disturb
If you want to disable notifications and call alerts for a certain period of time, set do not disturb on. When it is
on, you will not receive any notifications or call alerts during the time period you have set.
Do not disturb is set on by default, and the time period is 10 pm 7 am. You can change the time period from
the General Settings on your Polar device.
When do not disturb is on, you’ll see an icon (a crescent moon) in the upper left corner of the V800 display to
indicate that you cannot receive notifications.
SMART NOTIFICATIONS (ANDROID)
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. Please note that you can’t receive any notifications during training sessions.
l Make sure you have Android version 5.0 or newer on your phone.
l Make sure you have the latest firmware on your V800.
l To use the Smart Notifications feature you need to have the Polar Flow mobile app for Android, and
your Polar V800 needs to be paired with the app. For the Smart Notifications feature to work, Polar
Flow app must be running on your phone.
l Please note that when the Smart Notifications feature is on, the battery of your Polar device and phone
will run out faster because Bluetooth is continuously on.
We have verified the functionality with some of the most common phone models, like Samsung Galaxy
S5, Samsung Galaxy S6, Nexus 5, LG G4, Sony Xperia Z3. There might be differences in the functionality
with other phone models which support Android 5.0.
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.
