You may upload settings from a computer to a wrist receiver either via IR communication or via audible Polar Uplink. For IR communication please see the previous chapter and for the Polar Uplink communication proceed as follows:

1.Start the software.

2.If the receiver is in the Time of day display scroll up or down until CONNECT is displayed.

3.Place the receiver less than 10 cm/ 4" from the loudspeaker.

4.Activate the heart rate monitor connection function of the software. Do not move the receiver during the data transfer.

5.The receiver automatically starts to upload the information as UpLink appears and you will hear a chirping sound while information is transferred to the receiver. The receiver automatically returns to the Time of day display after data transfer.

If the data transfer was unsuccessful bring the receiver closer to the loudspeakers or turn the volume level of the loudspeakers up.

To be able to upload the settings from Polar Precision Performance software via Polar Uplink, you need a personal computer with a sound card (compatible with SoundBlaster™) and dynamic loudspeakers or headphones.
