To transfer data:
1. Press the lower right button of your Polar product to enter Connect mode.
Do not press any other button.
(When using AXN 500/700, press the start button once, and then the lower right button enter Connect mode.
Do not press any other button.)

2. Face the Polar product to the IrDA device/internal IrDA port.




You should have this icon in the system tray (bottom right of your computer display) to indicate that you have established connection with the computer.


If you have an internal IrDA port, please see that the Polar product and the laptop infrared windows are parallel to each other. You may help this by bringing the laptop closer to the edge of the table.

3. To transfer data, you can either choose to a) synchronize exercise data between the Polar product and the Polar ProTrainer or b) edit settings in the software and then transfer them to the product.

a) To transfer exercise and/or training plan data

Click Transfer Data
A Software Preferences window appears.


2. Click OK.
If Software Preferences window is not displayed, go to Options → Preferences → Transfer Data to select transfer settings.

If you have created a training plan a given day, and you want to transfer it to your Polar product, select Update training program in Polar product in Software Preferences.

f you are uncertain on whether your Polar product can receive a training program created in the ProTrainer 5, please check the Polar product user manual or the product page at www.polar.fi.
A transfer window indicates that connection is established.



Once the transfer is complete you will find your exercises on the appropriate dates in the Calendar. A date that has exercises you have not yet analyzed (you have not entered the Training Diary view on this date) has a colored corner.


If you have recorded your heart rate as R-R data (beat-to-beat heart rate), you will get two files: one file for R-R data which only contains heart rate data, and one for heart rate, speed, altitude, etc, taken every 1, 5, 15 or 60 seconds, depending on your choice. Note that with S810/S810i R-R recording will only give you one file.

b) To edit settings
1. Click

Infrared Connection window appears and the settings data located on your Polar product are automatically read to the software.



2. In the Polar product settings window, select Exercise Files to get the list of exercises currently on your Polar product.

Go to the settings you want to edit and click the transfer button in the bottom right corner to transfer the edited settings to the Polar product.


The settings, and therefore the various settings dialogs, vary according to features available in the Polar product.

If Polar IrDA 2.0 Adapter is not working
1. Check that the Polar IrDA USB 2.0 Adapter is compatible with your Polar product.

2. Check the data transfer instructions for the software you are connecting with. For ProTrainer 5, see How to transfer data to Polar ProTrainer 5 via IrDA. Depending on your system, recognizing the Polar product might take a moment. Please be patient.

3. If you are using Polar PC software (e.g. WebLink, ProTrainer 5), check that you have the latest update available. For example in ProTrainer, go to Help → Check for updates. For more information, see Polar support for your software.

4. If you still cannot transfer data:
a. Check that the adapter light flashes. If no light flashing or the light is solid, unplug and re-plug the adapter into the USB port.
b. If you are using a HUB, try instead to plug the Polar IrDA USB 2.0 Adapter directly to your computer’s USB port to eliminate the HUB as the cause for the trouble.
c. Check that the adapter is plugged into the same USB port it was in when you installed the driver.
d. In the Device Manager, check that the Polar IrDA USB 2.0 Adapter is working properly. On your computer desktop, right-click on My Computer and select Properties → Hardware → Device Manager or go to Start → Settings → Control Panel → System → Hardware → Device Manager.
