POLAR GLOSSARY
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.
In models M31 and M32 one bullet= 100 kcal energy
expenditure. In models M61 and M62 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.
Electrodes: The grooved areas of the transmitter,
against the skin. Pick up the heart’s electrical impulses.
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.
HRmax: Maximum heart rate.
IN ZONE: Exercising time in Target Zone.
KCAL: Indicates the energy expenditure of your
exercise session.
LIMITS: Manually set target zone limits are
determined as percentages of age predicted or
measured maximum heart rate. The percentages are
converted into heart rate beats per minute.
MEASURE: Heart rate measurement mode,
stopwatch is off.
OPTIONS: Setting mode for user information, heart
rate measurement options and watch functions.
OWNCAL: Calorie expenditure during exercise.
OWNINDEX: OwnIndex is a score which is
comparable to VO
2max
. OwnIndex is a result of the
Polar Fitness Test and can be measured with Polar
M61 and M62 Heart Rate Monitors.
OWNZONE, OZ.: Target zone which Polar Heart
Rate Monitor determines for you. OwnZone is an
individual guide for light to moderate exercise
intensity.
OZ Indicates OwnZone determination
procedure.
OZ.A: Indicates OwnZone limits which are
determined according to your age.
OZ.L: Your latest OwnZone limits.
OZ.V: Indicates currently measured OwnZone limits
which are based on your heart rate variability.
Coded heart rate transmission: 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 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.
SEX: Indicates the gender (Male or Female) in User
settings.
Target zone, TZ: The area between the upper and
lower target zone limits. Can be defined
automatically by Polar Heart Rate Monitor or
manually by yourself.
TIME: Indicates the time of day in the watch
settings.
Time of day mode: Display showing time of day.
Tot. KCAL: Cumulative total calorie expenditure of
your exercise.
Tot. TIME: Cumulative total exercise time of your
exercise sessions.
USER SET: Indicates the setting loop for your
personal information.
