Thanks for joining the ride. This guide will get you set up, show you what to test, and explain how your feedback shapes the final product.
Strap on your Polar H10 (or any Bluetooth chest strap), open DESCEND, and go to Settings → Bluetooth → Scan. Tap your device to pair. You'll see a green indicator when connected.
