Settings in Polar Flow app

In the Flow app, open the device settings by tapping the device card in Diary. You can also go to Devices and choose Polar Loop if you have more than one Polar device.

At the top of the device page, you will see information about your device, such as its current firmware version and if an update is available, as well as the device's battery status and when the device was last synced.

On the device page, you can edit the following settings:

I wear my product on

Choose Left hand or Right hand.

For accurate measurement and tracking, it’s important that the device is positioned correctly on your wrist: the side with the oval mark should face the thumb side of your wrist. For more information, see Wearing Polar Loop.

Battery notifications

If you want to receive notifications on your phone about the device's battery status, turn on the Battery notifications.

To get battery notifications, you need to allow notifications for the Flow app in your phone settings.

Inactivity alert

Turn inactivity alerts on or off. To receive inactivity alerts, you must allow notifications for the Flow app in your phone settings, and the app must be running at least in the background. For more information, see 24/7 Activity tracking.

Track training automatically

Turn automatic training detection on or off and adjust its sensitivity. For more information, see Automatic training detection.

Sync

Choose Sync to manually sync your device with the Flow app. For more information, see Syncing.

Turn off

You can turn off the device through the Flow app's settings, for example during a flight. When the device is turned off, Bluetooth is also disabled. To turn the device back on, plug it in to charge.

Factory reset

If you experience problems with your device, you can reset it back to factory settings. Note that resetting the device back to factory settings empties all personal data and settings from the device, and you will need to set it up again for your personal use. All data that you have synced from your device to your Flow account is safe. For more information, see Restarting and resetting.
