Polar Question

[Capcha]

So I bought this Polar CS300 and am hugely impressed. Question I have is how do you download your files across to Polar website? As I understand it, you have to either buy a microphone from Polar or you can use the microphone on your computer. will the later work?

Yes the mic on your computer works fine.

Its a bit of a mission to get working, but I eventually got mine to do the sonic transfer or whatever they call it

tip...make 100% sure of your microphone's location(I thought it was near the microphone port...not)...do it in a quiet room

My wife and I both have CS300s. I use my laptop mic (the webcam mic above the screen) by hanging the watch over the screen with the watch right by the mic. This isn't the greatest technology ever but it does work... albeit with a slight hick up from time to time.

 

Here's an old thread - I posted the same question a while back - https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/72452-sonic-link-how-does-it-work/page__p__1044396__hl__soniclink__fromsearch__1#entry1044396

Go to www.polarpersonaltrainer.com. Nice way to keep track of your training.

 

Some Polar products use the SonicLink technology which uses soundwaves to send data. Not sure about the CS400 - Go to the Polar website and find out or go to "Send" (or similar) on your Polar and if it makes a sound similar to an old 56k modem that's SonicLink.
