It's to connect a Polar heart-rate monitor. There exists a dongle
that plugs into the USB port, which I'm probably going to break
down and get, but I'd rather save the $40 and the need to have
an extra gadget by getting IR to work, but at this rate I don't
want to spend the rest of my life fighting it.
