Online mode is used when training is monitored online using the base station. At that time, the
transmitter transfers heart rate data to the PC via the base station in addition to recording it. In
Online mode the battery lasts up to 30 hours.
Off-season mode can be used when training is not monitored online, e.g., during independent
training season. At the time, in order to save battery, the transmitter is not trying to send data to
PC but only records it. In this mode the battery can last up to 250 hours. Data can be transferred
to the PC afterwards.
The mode can be changed in two places:
Team properties: Options > Team properties > Players tab > Transmitter tab
Polar Team
2
Preferences: Tools > Preferences > Transmitters tab.
More information about
transmitter settings, see the software chapter.
Bluetooth USB Adapter (USB Dongle)
The USB dongle is plugged into the PC's USB port and it can replace the base station when data
is transferred (transmitter settings, memory contents) between the transmitters and the PC. Data
can be transferred between the transmitters and PC via the USB dongle when the transmitters
are inserted into the charger. Online monitoring cannot be performed via the USB dongle.
The USB dongle has to be introduced to the system during
wizard (or separately); otherwise it
won't work properly.
FACTS:
Built-in Bluetooth.
Do not install the USB dongle drivers from the included CD! The USB dongle works
with the Team
2
only if the drivers are not installed. If you have installed the drivers, follow
the
instructions in the troubleshooting chapter.
