INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your new A300! With 24/7 activity measurement your new companion encourages you

towards a more active and healthier lifestyle. Get an instant overview of your daily activity on your A300 or

with Polar Flow app. Together with the Polar Flow web service and the Flow app your A300 helps you to under-

stand how your choices and habits affect your well-being.

This user manual helps you get started with your new A300. To check the video tutorials and the latest version

of this user manual, go to www.polar.com/support/A300.

Polar A300

Monitor your activities in your everyday life and see how they benefit your health. You'll get tips on how to

reach your daily activity goal. Check your goal from the Flow app or Flow web service. Change the wristband

and accessorize any outfit! You can buy additional wristbands separately.

USB cable

A product set includes a standard USBcable. You can use it for charging the battery and syncing data

between your A300 and Flow web service via FlowSync software.

Polar Flow App

View your activity and training data at a glance. Flow app syncs your activity and training data wirelessly to

the Polar Flow web service. Get it on the App StoreSM or Google playTM.

Polar FlowSync Software

Polar FlowSync syncs your data between your A300 and the Polar Flow web service on your computer. Go to

flow.polar.com/start to start using your A300 and to download and install the FlowSync software.

Polar Flow Web Service

Plan your training, follow your achievements, get guidance and see detailed analyses of your activity and train-

ing results. Let all your friends know about your achievements. Find all this at polar.com/flow.

H7 Heart Rate Sensor

Wearing your A300 together with a heart rate sensor, you can get more out of your daily sports. See live, accur-

ate heart rate on your A300 during training. Your heart rate information is used to analyze how your session

went. The Polar H7 heart rate sensor detects your heart rate also when swimming.

Only included in A300 with heart rate sensor sets. If you bought a set that doesn't include a heart rate

sensor, not to worry, you can always buy one later.

GET STARTED

SET UP YOUR A300

When you get hold of your new A300, it’s in storage mode. It wakes up when you plug it to a computer for

setup or a USB charger for charging. We recommend that you charge the battery before you start using your

A300. If the battery is completely empty, it takes a couple of minutes for the charging to start. See Batteries

for detailed information on charging the battery, battery operating times and low battery notifications.

To make sure you get to enjoy your A300 at its best, please start using it as follows:

1. Go to flow.polar.com/start and install the FlowSync software to set up your A300 and keep it up to

date.

2. Detach the wristband as described in chapter Wristband.

3. Plug your A300 to your computer either directly (picture 1) or with the USB cable (picture 2) for set up

and charging the battery. Make sure the cable is right way up - the USB symbols of the device and the

cable should be next to each other (picture 2). Make sure that the A300 is dry before connecting it to the

computer.

Picture 1. Picture 2.

4. Then we’ll walk you through setting up your A300 and signing up to the Flow web service.

To get the most accurate and personal activity and training data, it’s important that you’re precise

with the settings when signing up to the web service.

After the setup is done, you’re ready to go. Have fun!
