Hi.
I am trying to see if the Wearlink Strap I have is working, but do not have Polar HRM. Does anyone in Irvine area have Polar HRM that works with Wearlking Straps?

Thanks
UD

Do you go to a gym? A lot of them have treadmills or other cardio machines that can pick up Polar transmissions for heart rate.

Hmm, next time I am in the ARC I'll give it a shot. Although not sure if the equipment they have is that fancy.

Most bike or running shops have HRMs on display that they would probably let you see if your transmitter would work with. This must be an uncoded model?

Wearlinks are all coded, I thought.

At least on the web page you can buy uncoded ones.

I believe all the Wearlinks and T61 belts are coded.. The older T31 belts are not coded..

There are T31's that are coded. That is what I use. I think the problem is that I bought Wearlink W.I.N.D. instead of Wearlink, and that is why my computer is not working with it.
