M. POLAR GLOSSARY
M 86
Activity level: A personal
assessment of your long term
physical activity level that is used in
the Polar Fitness Test.
Coded heart rate transmission:
Polar coded 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 coded transmitter.
Coding significantly reduces
crosstalk caused by other users of
heart rate monitors. However, it
does not necessarily reduce all
environmental interference.
Configuring the display: During
the exercise you can modify display
options by selecting information to
the lower and upper rows.
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 between the BasicUse,
Interval Training Set and BasicSet.
Heart rate: The number of heart
beats per minute (bpm).
