Summary file: Presents the main
information of your exercise.
Target heart rate zone: The
area between the upper and lower
heart rate limits. Target zone
selection is based on personal
fitness goals.
Activity level: Your long-term
physical activity level you need to
assess in order to do the Polar
Fitness Test.
BasicSet mode: Exercise set, which
interval is set off.
Coded heart rate transmission:
Polar T61 transmitter automatically
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 T61 transmitter. Coding
significantly reduces crosstalk
caused by other users of heart rate
monitors. However, it does not
necessarily reduce all environmental
interference.
