Different Polar products use different methods for transferring information to a computer.

Infrared Connection
You can transfer exercises from Polar S610i, Polar S625X, Polar S710i, Polar S720i, Polar S725, Polar S725X and Polar S810i via an infrared connection. In addition, you can use Polar IR Interfaces or other manufacturers' IrDA supported IR interfaces. A computer's internal infrared port can also be used. With Polar S610, Polar S710 and Polar S810 data transmission is enabled through Polar IR Interfaces only.

Action data from Polar AXN500 and Polar AXN700 can NOT be transferred using this device. They require a IrDA compatible infrared interfaces, for example, a computer's internal infrared port. The New USB 2.0 IrDA is compatible.

UpLink
UpLink connection allows you to transfer different settings made with Polar Precision Performance analysis software to all Polar S-series and Polar AXN wrist units. Settings are transferred through the computer's speakers or headphones. You can also make and transfer settings to your wrist unit, as well as transfer logos from Polar web site, using Polar UpLink Tool.

SonicLink
SonicLink data transfer can be used with Polar S410, Polar S510 and Polar S520. Exercises are transferred through the computer's microphone. Note that you can transfer exercise data via SonicLink to Polar Precision Performance analysis software only from wrist units that record samples. For example, some Polar Fitness Heart Rate Monitors have the SonicLink feature, but they do not record samples.
