Heart rate: The number of heart beats per minute (bpm).

KM/H: Kilometres per hour.

LAP: In Measure and File modes, together with a number, indicates how many lap times are used.

Lap and split times: Time needed to move once around a closed course or track.

LIM 1 / LIM 2 / LIM 3: Heart Rate Limits for Target Zones 1, 2 and 3.

Lower Limit: The lower heart rate limit of the target zone

MAX: Together with a reading indicates either maximum heart rate or maximum speed.

MEASURE: Measure mode

MPH: Miles per hour

ODO, odometer: Measures cumulative total distance in Cycling mode.

Polar Coded Transmitter: Automatically locks in a code to transmit your heart rate to your wrist receiver. In coded transmission the receiver accepts heart rate data 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.

Primary measurement display: In the Heart rate mode the middle row of the display indicates either total exercising time, time of day or lap time according to your settings.

RECO, Recovery heart rate: Decrease in heart rate during the pre-set period of time.

RTIME, total riding time: measures cumulative riding time.

Secondary measurement displays: The secondary measurement displays will be seen for a few seconds by bringing the wrist receiver next to the Polar logo of the Polar Coded Transmitter for a moment. The secondary measurement display depend on which of the three alternatives was chosen for the primary measurement display.

SET: Set mode.

Target Zone limits: Target Zone limits are determined as percentages of maximum heart rate. The percentages are converted into heart rate in beats per minute.

TIM1 / TIM2: Timers 1 and 2 help you to divide your exercise session into separate phases (e.g. warm-up, exercise phase, cool down). Timers can be used individually (only Timer 1) or sequentially.

TIME: Indicates the time of day in watch settings.

TZ, Target Zone: The area between upper and lower target zone limits. Target Zone selection is based on personal fitness goals.

During heart rate measurement the TZ symbol with a block next to it indicates that you are exercising within the Target Zone. In File mode this indicates the time spent within the Target Zone.

During heart rate measurement the TZ symbol with a upper block flashing indicates that the heart rate is above the Target Zone. In File mode this indicates the time spent above the Target Zone.

During heart rate measurement indicates that the heart rate is below the Target Zone. In File mode this indicates the time spent below the Target Zone.

Units of measure: By changing the Time mode from 12 h display to 24 h display you also change the other units used by the monitor. In the table below you will find the units which are in use in each alternative.
