Polar 720i data transfer IrDA

[SwissVan]

Ok after reading about all you guys with your polar data, decided to use mine, installed latest SW version from polar, purchased infra red usb devious from polar dealer (not a polar IR, an iR wave usb IrDA).

Tried to download from watch to blikbrain = " no answer from watch" message, retried plenty plus times same result.

Watch shows "COM" on display after connecting and computer shows polar 720i on the IrDA icon, light flashes on IR device but no data saved.

Checked driver and seems to be operating correctly according to device manager.

Dont tell me I have to send the watch back to Polar again!!

Any ideas and tipssmileys/smiley5.gif

I have had a similar problem and found that if you plug the IR device in prior to running the update, available on Polar website, it doesn't work.

Uninstall and try again, downloading USB IR update as well as software update before plugging anything in.

I send you a p/m

I think the settings on your program is wrong:

Go to your software, open your Polar program:

OPTIONS> PREFERENCES = go to HARDWARE

SET: IR comm to "COM 1"

In the middle of the screen pick: POLAR S720i

ensure "SONIC LINK" is set to NOT IN USE

ensure "ADVANCED" is set to NOT IN USE

Click on the OPTIONS BUTTON: Make sure all the (7) tick boxes is ticked

or read your p/m

If you press the right BOTTOM button (once) on the polar..it should show CONNECT , not "COM"
