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).

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 VO
2
max
(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.
