HEART RATE TRAINING
Although there are many subjective clues as to how your body is doing during exercise (perceived exertion,
breathing rate, physical sensations), none of them are as reliable as measuring heart rate. It is objective
and affected by both internal and external factors—meaning that you will have a dependable measure of
your physical state.
MEASURING HEART RATE WITH YOUR OH1
To measure heart rate accurately you need to wear your OH1 snugly around your forearm or upper arm or
with the swimming goggle strap holder on you temple. The sensor must be in constant touch with your
skin, but the armband should not be too tight to prevent blood flow. The sensor in the swimming goggle
strap holder should be attached as far as you can on your temple without getting your hair between the
sensor and your skin. For most accurate heart rate measurement, we advise you to wear your OH1 for a
few minutes prior to starting the heart rate measurement.
Do not press the sensor button while under water to maintain water resistance.
If you have tattoos avoid placing the sensor right on them as it may prevent accurate readings.
Also, it's a good idea to warm up the skin if your hands and skin get cold easily. Get the blood going before
starting your session!
For detailed instructions on wearing OH1, see "Wearing your OH1" on page 10

START A TRAINING SESSION AS AN INDEPENDENT TRAINING DEVICE
Before using OH1 as an independent training device, it needs to be registered and linked to a Polar
Flow account.
For details, see "Setting up your OH1" on page 7.
1. Switch OH1 on by pressing the button until the LED is switched on and release.
2. OH1 is now on, press the button shortly twice to switch recording on.
3. When your heart rate is detected, the green LED will blink rapidly, and you can start your session.
After your training session, you can stop the recording by pressing the button until the LED is switched off.
Then sync your training session to the Flow app and web service to view the details of your session. See
"Syncing" on page 18 for more information.
When used as an independent training device training sessions are stored under the
Other indoor
Sport Profile. The memory capacity is up to 200 hours of training.
