OPTIONS: Indicates the Options mode.

OwnCal: Calculates energy expenditure during exercise in kilocalories. 1 kilocalorie (kcal) = 1000 calories (cal). You can follow how much energy you loose by exercising in one exercise session or in a day, week or even a year. The OwnCal can be used as a dose measure of exercise e.g. in nutrition planning. OwnCal calorie calculation starts when your heart rate reaches 90 bpm or is above 60% of your maximum heart rate, whichever is smaller. These limits are set to count only exercise calories. The higher the heart rate, the faster the energy expenditure. OwnCal is individually calibrated by your preset weight, maximal oxygen uptake

(VO2max ) and maximum heart rate (HRmax). The most accurate OwnCal is

received by entering your clinically measured (in maximal treadmill or

bicycle stress test) VO2max and HRmax into the wrist receiver. Energy

expenditure measurement is most accurate in continuous activities such as cycling and running. OwnINDEX: Result of Polar Fitness Test and comparable score with maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max). PI %, Pedalling index*: Helps you to analyse how evenly the power is distributed. The smoother the pedalling motion, the closer the figure is to the ideal 100 %.

A pedalling index of 100 % means that power is applied evenly throughout the whole pedal revolution.

Pwr*: Indicates Power Output measurement in cycling.

RecoDist, distance-based

recovery: You set the recovery distance in the Options mode. In the File mode, you will see the drop in your heart rate and the recovery distance.

RecoHr, heart-rate-based

recovery: You set the heart rate, which will end your recovery

calculation. In the File mode you will see the drop in your heart rate and the recovery duration.

RecoTime, time-based recovery:

You set the recovery time in the Options mode. In the File mode you will see the drop in your heart rate and the recovery duration.

Spd: Indicates velocity.

Split Time: The elapsed time from the beginning of the exercise until storing the split time.

Sw: Indicates stopwatch.

Timer1, 2, 3: Interval Training mode: Countdown timers for the Interval Training set.

WarmUp: Warm-up phase in the beginning of an Interval Training exercise.
