Downloading New Data

Timex Data Recorder Users: To download new data you can use the Data Transfer Center or the Timex Quick Connect icon on the top icon bar.

To download new data you can use the Data Transfer Center or the Polar HRM Quick Setup feature. Use the Data Center if you only want to download data from your HRM to PC Coach. To download data and upload workout or user data simultaneously you should use the Quick Setup feature. Both are described in detail below.

S410 and S510 Users:
To download or upload data, you may also use the Data Transfer Center or the Polar HRM Quick Setup feature. Using the Data Transfer Center, you can download your HRM workout data, or upload watch settings such as User Data, date and time, workout definitions, or bike setup. Using the Quick Setup icon, you can quickly download data, upload a workout definition, or change you bike settings.

Before you try to download data from your S410, S510 or S520 monitor, be sure you have plugged your microphone into your computer. Also, be sure your microphone is selected as an input device, and that the volume slider is in a medium position using Microsoft Volume Control (see Windows Help for more information on Microsoft Volume Control). If you have trouble downloading data, go to "Help-PC Coach Help topics - Connecting Your Polar Monitor - Transferring Data with Sonic Link".
