P1-P6, exercise phases: Indicates
pre-programmable exercise phases of
the profile exercise. Each phase
includes adjustable number of interval
periods and a recovery period.
Profil: Indicates a preprogrammable
exercise profile with six optional
phases.
RecoHr, heart-rate-based
recovery
: You set the heart rate,
which will end your recovery
calculation. In the File mode you
will see the drop in your heart rate
and the recovery duration.
RecoTime, time-based recovery:
You set the recovery time in the
Options mode. In the File mode you

M 92

LAPS: Indicates how many lap times
have been stored.
Lim High: The higher heart rate
limit of the target zone.
Lim Low: The lower heart rate limit
of the target zone.
Limits: Heart rate limits for target
zones.
MAX: Indicates the highest
heart rate.
MAX

%: Indicates what percentage

your current heart rate is of your
maximum heart rate.
Mem full: Appears on the display
when the memory is full. You can
continue your exercise and taking
lap times but they won’t be
recorded into the file.
MIN: Indicates minimum heart rate
of exercise in the File mode.
ms: Millisecond
Online*: Online recording allows
you to transfer your heart rate to
computer in real time. Place the
wrist receiver within the reception
range, 20 cm/ 8", of the interface

and within range of the transmitter,
1 metre/ 3 feet.
OPTIONS: Indicates the Options
mode.
OwnCal: Calculates energy
expenditure during exercise in
kilocalories. 1 kilocalorie (kcal) =
1000 calories (cal). You can follow
how much energy you lose by
exercising in one exercise session or
in a day, week or even a year. The
OwnCal can be used as a dose
measure of exercise e.g. in nutrition
planning. OwnCal calorie calculation
starts when your heart rate reaches
90 bpm or is above 60% of your
maximum heart rate, whichever is
smaller. These limits are set to count
only exercise calories. The higher the
heart rate, the faster the energy
expenditure. OwnCal is individually
calibrated by your preset weight,
maximal oxygen uptake (VO

2max

) and

maximum heart rate (HR

max

). The

most accurate OwnCal is received by
entering your clinically measured (in

and the recovery duration.
RLX, Relaxation rate: Relaxation
rate is most useful when measuring
your heart rate at rest or during light
daily activities, such as office work.
After exercise, e.g., in the following
morning, the value can also indicate
the state of your physical recovery. A
resting heart rate significantly higher
or a relaxation rate smaller than
normal may be an indication of an
incomplete recovery. Mental stress
typically increases heart rate and
decreases relaxation rate. Relaxation
rate measurement is based on the
heart rate variability, which indicates
your autonomic nervous system's
state. The degree of heart rate
variability is highly individual and
tends to decrease over time.
RR: R-R recording rate measures
heart beat intervals, i.e. the time
between successive heart beats in
milliseconds. This information is also
shown as instantaneous heart rate
