4. Setup

After plugging in and charging your Polar Loop, open the Polar Flow app to begin setup.

The Flow app will automatically discover your Polar Loop and guide you through the setup process. Keep your Polar Loop close to your phone during pairing and setup.

Important: You must pair using the Polar Flow app, not your phone's Bluetooth settings.

5. Wearing

For accurate measurements, wear the device correctly: the side with the oval marking should face the thumb side of your wrist.

Wear Polar Loop on your wrist so the optical heart rate sensor is close to your skin. Ensure you wear the device on the wrist you selected in the device settings within the Flow app.

6. Using with Polar Flow

When worn, Polar Loop automatically tracks your heart rate, sleep, activity, and training. If your phone is within Bluetooth range, Polar Loop will automatically sync data with the Flow app every half hour.

In the Flow app, you can view detailed analysis of your training, activity, and sleep data. You can also perform many other operations, such as:

Manually start a training session
Manually sync data
Turn automatic training detection on or off, and adjust its sensitivity
Adjust device settings, check battery status, and turn off the device
Receive firmware updates

Care and Maintenance

Keep the device and wristband clean: Wash the device and wristband regularly with mild soapy water (at least once a week). Rinse thoroughly with clean water and let them dry completely before wearing.
