ENGLISH

Indicates coded transmission of heart rate.

The inner heart flashes to the beat of your heart.

In the Time of day mode indicates that the alarm is on. In the measure mode

indicates that the sound signal will alarm if you are exercising outside your Target
Zone.

Progress bullets in the measure mode.

One bullet = 10 minutes in target zone.
AGE: Insert your age in User settings.
ALARM: Indicates the alarm clock in watch settings.
AM/PM: 12 hour mode of time.
AVERAGE Hr: Average heart rate of the exercise.
Coded heart rate transmission: Polar coded transmitter automatically locks in a
code to transmit your heart rate to your wrist unit. In coded transmission the wrist
unit accepts heart rate from your Polar coded transmitter only. Coding significantly
reduces crosstalk caused by other users of heart rate monitors. However, it does not
necessarily reduce all environmental interference.
Electrodes: The electrode areas are on the backside of the transmitter.
EXERCISE: Heart rate measurement mode, stopwatch is on and the exercise
information is recorded.
EXE. TIME: Total exercise time.
FAT: Indicates the fat percentage of the total calorie expenditure.
FILE: File mode to recall training information.
Heart rate: The number of heart beats per minute (bpm)
Heart rate variability: Fluctuations of interbeat intervals. Heart rate variability of a
healthy subject is in general large in resting conditions and during light exercise.
Heart rate variability gradually disappears when exercise becomes more intense and
heart rate increases.
