l Power save mode: Allows you to save the battery life of your V800 during long training sessions. You
can store your GPS data at the intervals of 1 second or 60 seconds. A longer interval gives you more
recording time, while a shorter interval allows you to record more detailed data. When power save
mode is on, location based automatic lap, automatic pause and route guidance cannot be used. In addi-
tion, Running Index cannot be used unless you have a stride sensor, and Race Pace cannot be used
unless you have a stride sensor or speed sensor.
When using power save mode, the GPS data is not as accurate as in normal mode. Power save mode is
only recommended to be used in long sessions lasting over 10 hours.
When training with either a Polar Stride Sensor Bluetooth® Smart or Polar Speed Sensor Bluetooth®
Smart with GPS set on, speed and distance information is collected from the stride sensor or speed sensor,
not the GPS. However, route information is collected from the GPS.
For best GPS performance, wear V800 on your wrist with the display facing up. Due to the location of the
GPS antenna on the V800, it is not recommended to wear it with the display on the underside of your wrist.
When wearing it on the handlebars of a bike, make sure the display is facing up.
BACK TO START
The back to start feature guides you back to the starting point of your session or to a saved POI.
To use the back to start feature:
1. Press and hold LIGHT during a training session. Quick menu is displayed.
2. Choose Set location guide on, Set target point is displayed.
3. Choose Starting point (default).
You can change the target point by returning to the Quick menu, and choosing Change target point. At least
one POI must be saved during your session to be able to change the target point.
To return to your starting point:
l Browse to the Back to start view.
l Keep V800 in a horizontal position in front of you.
l Keep moving in order for V800 to determine which direction you are going. An arrow will point in the dir-
ection of your starting point.
l To get back to the starting point, always turn in the direction of the arrow.
l The V800 also shows the bearing and the direct distance (beeline) between you and the starting point.
When in unfamiliar surroundings, always keep a map at hand in case the V800 loses the satellite signal or
the battery runs out.
