Update the Firmware on Polar Ignite
- Begin by ensuring your Polar Ignite watch is fully charged or at least has sufficient battery life to prevent interruptions during the update process.
- Install the Polar Flow app on your smartphone if you haven't already. It's available for both Android and iOS. Make sure your phone's Bluetooth is turned on.
- Open the Polar Flow app and sign in to your account. If you don't have an account, you'll need to create one and pair your Polar Ignite with the app.
- Check for notifications within the app indicating available updates for your Polar Ignite. The app usually prompts you automatically when a firmware update is available.
- Start the update process by following the on-screen instructions within the Polar Flow app. Ensure that your Polar Ignite remains within close proximity to your smartphone during the update.
- Allow the firmware update to complete fully. Interrupting the process can cause issues, so avoid moving your watch or disabling Bluetooth during this time.
Troubleshooting Update Issues
- Ensure your smartphone's operating system and the Polar Flow app are up-to-date to support the latest functionalities and bug fixes.
- If the update fails, reset your Polar Ignite by holding the side button until the device reboots, then retry the update.
- Consider uninstalling and reinstalling the Polar Flow app if issues persist. This can resolve app-related issues preventing updates.
- Moving the devices closer together can help if Bluetooth connectivity is weak. Additionally, ensure there are no wireless interferences that might disrupt the connection.
- Contact Polar customer support if you continue to experience issues. They can provide further guidance or service options if necessary.
