Updating the firmware

To keep your Polar Verity Sense up to date and to get the best performance, always make sure to update the firmware whenever a new version is available. Firmware updates are performed to improve the functionality of your sensor.

You won't lose any data due to the firmware update. Before the update begins, the data from your Verity Sense is synced to your Flow account.

You can update the firmware using your phone and the Polar Flow app. Once the sensor is turned on, the Flow app will notify you if an update is available. To install the update, first sync your sensor manually with the Flow app. After syncing, follow the on-screen instructions to complete the firmware update. We recommend plugging the sensor into a power source before starting the update to ensure a flawless update operation.

The wireless firmware update may take up to 20 minutes, depending on your connection.
