Setting up your Polar Verity Sense correctly is essential for tracking your running workouts accurately. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced runner, proper setup ensures you get the most reliable data to improve your performance.
Initial Setup of Your Polar Verity Sense
Before using your device for running, make sure it is fully charged. Turn on the device by pressing the button until the display lights up. Download the Polar Flow app on your smartphone, available on both iOS and Android platforms.
Open the app and create or log into your Polar account. Pair your Verity Sense with your smartphone via Bluetooth by following the app instructions. This connection allows you to sync your data seamlessly.
Configuring Your Device for Running
Once paired, access the device settings through the Polar Flow app. Set your personal data, including age, weight, and height, to improve the accuracy of heart rate measurements.
In the app, navigate to the device settings and select the activity profiles. Create a new profile or customize an existing one for running. Adjust the heart rate zones based on your fitness level and training goals.
Wearing and Positioning the Verity Sense
Proper placement of the Verity Sense is vital for accurate readings. Wear the device around your upper arm, just above the biceps. Ensure the sensor is snug but comfortable, avoiding movement during your run.
For optimal performance, keep the device clean and dry. Avoid wearing it over thick clothing or accessories that might interfere with the sensor’s contact with your skin.
Starting Your Running Workout
Power on the Verity Sense by pressing and holding the button until the display activates. Select the running activity profile you configured earlier. Begin your workout and monitor your heart rate in real-time via the Polar Flow app or compatible smartwatch.
During your run, keep the device in place and avoid sudden movements that could disrupt the sensor contact. After completing your workout, stop the activity and sync your data with the Polar Flow app for analysis.
Post-Workout Tips
After your run, remove the Verity Sense and clean the sensor with a soft, damp cloth. Store the device in a safe, dry place. Review your workout data in the Polar Flow app to track your progress and adjust your training plan accordingly.
Regularly update the firmware via the app to ensure your device functions optimally and benefits from the latest features and improvements.
