USE
When getting an alert, your Polar device will discreetly notify you by vibrating. A calendar event or message
alert once, while incoming calls alert until you press the BACK button on your Polar V800, answer the phone,
or after alerting for 30 seconds.
The caller’s name is shown on the display if you have the caller on your mobile phonebook and the name only
includes basic Latin characters and special characters of the following languages: French, Finnish, Swedish,
German, Norwegian or Spanish.
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.
Block apps

notification from an app to your V800, the app will be listed in Settings > Notifications > Block apps and
you can block it if you wish.
