l Automatic pause
l Vibration feedback
Please note that stride sensor settings are visible in all single sport profiles. If do not have a stride sensor,
ignore this setting.
GPS AND ALTITUDE
l GPS recording rate (Power save, long session is only recommended to be used in long sessions last-
ing over 10 hours. When using power save mode, the GPS data is not as accurate as in normal mode.)
l Altitude
When you are done with the sport profile settings, click save. To sync the settings to your V800, press
synchronize in FlowSync.
MULTISPORT
Multisport allows you to include multiple sports in one training session, and seamlessly switch between
sports without interrupting your training recording. During a multisport training session your transition times
between sports are automatically monitored, allowing you to see how long it took you to switch from one sport
to another.
There are two different ways to perform a multisport training session: fixed multisport and free multisport. In a
fixed multisport (multisport profiles in the Polar sports list) like triathlon, the order of the sports is fixed, and
they must be performed in that specific order. In free multisport, you can choose what sports you perform and
in which order you perform them by selecting them from the sport list. You can also switch back and forth
between sports.
For information on starting a multisport session, See "Start a Training Session" on page 43
SWIMMING
V800 is water resistant to 30 meters, and can be worn during swimming. The H7 heart rate sensor detects
your heart rate when swimming with GymLink transmission as Bluetooth Smart® does not work in water.
Please note that when using GPS when swimming, interference may occur, and the recorded data is not as
accurate as in land activities. GPSmay also interfere with GymLink transmission, causing disturbance in
heart rate measurement when swimming. Therefore it is recommended to switch GPS off when measuring
heart rate in water.
When measuring heart rate in water, you may experience interference because:
l The ECG signal strength is individual and may vary depending on the individual’s tissue composition.
Problems occur more frequently when measuring heart rate in water.
l Pool water with high chlorine content and seawater are very conductive. Sensor electrodes can short-
circuit in these conditions preventing ECG signal detection.
