Note. If installing on Microsoft Vista, don't use the supplied drivers on the CD.
Vista uses its own drivers. See Vista installation link.

Because the USB2.0 IR adapter does not come with its own drivers for Vista, Polar cannot offer full Vista support for it. However most Vista users should be able to install the adapter with drivers built-in to Vista on both the 32-bit and 64-bit platforms.

Note. The original Polar Serial and USB interfaces are no longer manufactured by Polar.

These infrared interfaces were a proprietory product (non-IrDA compliant) and only functioned with the compatible Polar S-Series Heart Rate Monitors (S610, S610i, S710, S710i, S720i, S810, S810i, S625X, S725 and S725X).
