Polar V800 offers a host of unique features to help you train better. Here
you can nd a summary of the most important ones.
ORTHOSTATIC TEST **
Allows you to optimize your training and avoid overtraining by showing
how your heart rate responds to exercise and other factors such as stress
and illness. The test shows your heart rate during rest, active standing
up and standing, and compares it with the average of your previous test
results. By repeating the test regularly, you’ll notice if there are any
untypical heart rate responses.
JUMP TEST ***
Helps you estimate your leg muscular strength and power output, as well
as neuromuscular fatigue. You can do three different types of jump tests:
squat, countermovement and continuous.
BACK TO START
Guides you back to the starting point of your session, or any saved POI
(point-of-interest).
ROUTE GUIDANCE
Sync your favorite routes from the Polar Flow web service to your V800,
and it’ll guide you along the way to explore new paths.
SWIMMING METRICS
Easily track your swimming performance with automatic detection of
your swimming style, distance, pace, strokes and rest times. Analyze
each swim, and follow your performance and progress in the long run.
In addition, with the help of the SWOLF score you can improve your
swimming technique. All swimming metrics can be measured with pool
swimming and swimming sport proles. Open water swimming supports
distance and strokes.
* Most accurate with heart rate measurement
TRAINING LOAD *
Shows you how your training affects your body
and helps you compare the load of different
workouts. Continuous monitoring of training
load will help you recognize your personal limits
and adjust your training intensity and duration
according to your targets.
RECOVERY STATUS *
Although you love to train, you need to rest as well. To improve, you need
to nd the right balance between training and recovery. Recovery status
helps you know when you have recovered enough to train again.
VERY STRAINED
You’ve been training hard lately. Resting is
recommended before your next heavy training
period.
STRAINED
You haven’t fully recovered from your previous
training.

TRACK YOUR DAILY ACTIVITY
Wear your Polar V800 24/7 and it will give you a reliable recovery
status based on all your daily activity. It tracks every movement with its
integrated activity tracker. It also tracks your sleep, and tells you how
much of it was restful sleep.
V800 wakes up when you plug it to a computer or a USB charger. If
the battery is completely empty, it takes a couple of minutes for the
charging animation to appear.

Your training load is on your typical level. Your training and resting is in
balance.

After training
Keep the USB port clean to effectively protect your V800 from oxidation
and other possible damage caused by salt water (e.g. sweat or sea water
and dirt). This way you’ll ensure smooth charging and syncing. To keep
the USB port clean, rinse it with lukewarm tap water after each training
session. The USB port is water resistant and you can rinse it under
running water without damaging the electronic components.
Do not charge the V800 when the
USB port is wet or sweaty.
Training with your V800
1. Press START and choose your sport.
Go outdoors and away from tall buildings and trees to catch the GPS

displayed.
2. Press START again when you’re ready to go.
Choose the information you want to see during your sessions in
sport proles in the Polar Flow web service.
DURING TRAINING
In addition to heart rate, your V800 measures comprehensive data such
as training time, calories, speed, distance, location and altitude.
Take a lap: Press START during a session.
Lock a zone: To lock/unlock the heart rate zone you are currently in,
press and hold START. If your heart rate goes outside the locked zone,
you will be notied with audio feedback.
Change Settings in Quick Menu: Press and hold LIGHT to open the
Quick menu. You can change certain settings without pausing the
training recording.
PAUSE AND STOP TRAINING
Press BACK to pause your training session. To continue training, press
START. To stop the session, press and hold BACK when paused until
Recording ended is displayed.
Wear the comfortable strap and connector around your chest to get
accurate heart rate in real time on your V800.
Heart rate sensor
