Alternative Polar Download Method

Some users may find a problem downloading from their Polar HRMs using the normal download method.

An alternative method for downloading is described below:

  1. Go to 'New Session' in the 'Add' menu.
  2. Go to the last tab of the dialog box - 'Download'
  3. Select the type of monitor you have and the port the adaptor is connected to.
  4. Put the HRM into 'Connect' mode, then press the red 'lap' button, and use the right-hand buttons to scroll to the session you want to download. Don't select 'ALL'. Place the HRM in front of the interface.
  5. Click the 'Read' button in the dialog box, and press the red button on the HRM. You should see the download progressing on the screen.
  6. Once the download has finished, the details of the session will be in the dialog box - click 'Add' and the session will be added to your training diary.
