Primary measurement display: In the Heart Rate Measurement mode the
middle row of the display indicates either total exercising time, time of day or lap
time according to your settings.
Reco Hr, recovery heart rate: Decrease in heart rate during the pre-set
period of time.
Reco TI, recovery time: Time until a certain preset heart rate reading is
reached.
Secondary measurement displays: The secondary measurement displays
will be seen for a few seconds by bringing the wrist receiver next to the Polar logo
on the Polar Coded Transmitter for a moment. The secondary measurement
display depends on which of the three alternatives was chosen for the primary
measurement display.
SET: Set mode.
Sound: Indicates the button sound in watch settings.
Target Zone limits: Target Zone limits are determined either according to the
Karvonen formula or as percentages of maximum heart rate. The percentages
are converted into heart rates in beats per minute.
TIM (In the Interval Training mode): Countdown timer for the interval.
TIM1 / TIM2 (In the Heart Rate Measurement mode): 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.
TIME 12h/24h: Indicates the 12h or 24h time mode in watch settings.
TZ, Target Zone: The area between the 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.
Upper limit: The upper heart rate limit for the target zone.
FULL: After having stored 43 lap times in the Heart Rate Measurement or 28
intervals in the Interval training mode FULL appears in the display. You can
continue taking the lap times or intervals but they won’t be recorded into the
Polar Coach's memory.
Graphic bar: The graphic bar consists of five blocks and indicates the settings
of watch, heart rate or interval training functions. A flashing block means that the
setting of that particular function is possible.
Heart rate: The number of heart beats per minute (bpm).
Heart rate reserve: HRreserve = HRmax - HRrest
HRmax : Maximum heart rate
HRrest : Resting heart rate
Int: Interval training
Karvonen formula: The calculation of a training heart rate by adding a given
percentage of the heart rate reserve to the resting heart rate. This method gives
an adjusted heart rate that is equivalent to the desired percentage of VO2max
(maximal oxygen uptake).
LAP: In Measure and File modes, together with a number, indicates how many
lap times have been stored.
Lap and split times: Time needed to move once around a closed course or
track.
LAST: When the last interval begins, LAST appears in the display.
LIM1 / LIM2 / LIM3: 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 maximum heart rate.
MEASURE: Measure mode. In the measure mode you can exercise either in the
normal Heart Rate Measurement mode or in the Interval Training mode.
Polar Coded Transmitter: Automatically locks in a code to transmit your
heart rate to your wrist receiver. In a coded transmission the receiver accepts
heart rate data only from your Polar Coded Transmitter. Coding significantly
reduces crosstalk caused by other users of heart rate monitors. However, it does
not necessarily reduce all environmental interference.
Polar Heart Touch: During the measurement mode bring the wrist receiver
next to the Polar logo of the Polar Coded Transmitter for a moment.
