    F. POLAR FITNESS TEST The Polar Fitness Test is an easy, safe and quick way to estimate individual maximal aerobic power and to get predicted maximum heart rate value. The Polar Fitness Test is targeted to healthy adults. OwnIndex OwnIndex is a value which is comparable to maximal oxygen uptake ), a commonly used descriptor of aerobic fitness.
  • Page 66 If you want to improve your cardiovascular fitness, it takes a minimum of 6 weeks on an average to see a noticeable change in OwnIndex. Less fit individuals see progress even more rapidly and for more fit individuals more time is needed. The better the cardiovascular fitness of an individual, the smaller the improvements in OwnIndex.

  • Page 67: Predicted Maximum Heart Rate

    Predicted Maximum Heart Rate (HR The HR -p definition is carried out simultaneously with the Polar Fitness Test. The HR -p score predicts your individual maximum heart rate value more accurately than the age-based formula (220-age). The age-based method provides a rough estimation and may not be very accurate, especially for people who have been fit for many years or for older people.

    Fitness Classes The Polar Fitness Test result, your OwnIndex, is most meaningful when comparing your individual values and changes in them. OwnIndex can also be interpreted according to your gender and age. Locate your OwnIndex on the table to find your current cardiovascular fitness classification, compared with those who are of the same age and gender.
  • Page 72 For various fitness classes we recommend the following: 1-3 Increase exercise for health benefits and fitness improvement. Top athletes typically score OwnIndex values above 70 (men) and 60 (women). Values as high as 95 can be reached by athletes of Olympic caliber.

  • Page 73: Care And Maintenance

    • Store your Polar heart rate monitor in a cool and dry place. Do not store it in any kind of non-breathing material, such as a plastic bag or a sports bag if it is wet.
  • Page 74 To ensure the water resistance properties and the use of qualified components, the wrist receiver battery should be replaced by an authorized Polar Service Center only. At the same time a full periodic check of the Polar heart rate monitor will be done. Service Should your Polar heart rate monitor need service, see the Customer Care Charter to contact an authorized Polar Service Center.

  • Page 75: Precautions

    H. PRECAUTIONS Using the Polar Heart Rate Monitor in a Water Environment Your Polar heart rate monitor is water resistant to 160 feet/ 50 meters. To maintain the water resistance, do not operate the buttons of the wrist receiver under water.

  • Page 76: Polar Heart Rate Monitor And Interference

    Crosstalk The Polar wrist receiver in non-coded mode (mode is indicated by heart symbol without frames) of operation picks up transmitter signals within 3 feet/ 1 meter. Non-coded signals, from more than one transmitter picked up simultaneously, can cause an incorrect readout.
  • Page 77 4. If the Polar heart rate monitor still does not work with the exercise equipment, this piece of equipment may be electrically too noisy for wireless heart rate measurement. Minimizing Possible Risks in Exercising with a Heart Rate Monitor Exercise may include some risk, especially for those who have been sedentary.
  • Page 78 Notice to persons with pacemakers, defibrillator or other implanted electronic device. Persons who have a pacemaker use the Polar heart rate monitor at their own risk. Before starting use, we always recommend an exercise test under doctor’s supervision. The test is to ensure the safety and reliability of the simultaneous use of the pacemaker and the heart rate monitor.

  • Page 79: Frequently Asked Questions

    I. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS What should I do if..I don’t know where I am in the Options or File cycle? Press and hold the stop button until time of day is displayed..I cannot find the previous exercise’s file? You may have used the Measure mode during your exercise, which means that your exercise was not stored.
  • Page 80 ...the code search was not successful and the frame around the heart symbol has disappeared? Bring the receiver up to your chest near the transmitter’s Polar logo. The receiver starts looking for a heart rate signal again. If you still do not succeed in code searching, but your heart rate is displayed and the heart symbol without a frame is flashing, you can start exercising.
  • Page 81 2. Put the transmitter back and bring the receiver up to your chest near the transmitter’s Polar logo. The receiver starts looking for a heart rate signal again. Continue your training session normally..heart rate reading becomes erratic or extremely high? You may have come within range of strong electromagnetic signals which cause erratic readings.
  • Page 82 We recommend having all service done by an authorized Polar Service Center. The guarantee does not cover damage or consequential damage caused by service not authorised by Polar Electro. Polar Service will test your wrist receiver for water resistance after battery replacement and make a full periodic check of the complete Polar heart rate monitor.
