locks in a code to transmit your heart rate to the wrist receiver. In a coded
transmission the receiver accepts heart rate data only from the Polar coded
transmitter. Coding significantly reduces crosstalk caused by other users of
heart rate monitors. However, it does not necessarily reduce all
environmental interference.
Electrodes: The grooved areas of the transmitter that rest against the skin
and pick up the EKG signal.
Exercise mode: The stopwatch is on and your exercise is recorded. You can
select either the BasicUse, Profiles and BasicSet exercise modes.
