What will you do if you had no heart rate monitor but want to measure your heart rate?
Put your hand over your heart. In one minute, count the beats. Keep doing so.
Can someone put into the most simplistic terms possible what the apex beat means when referring to assessment?
They mean that the heart rate was calculated by listening (usually) to the apex of the heart, which is at the bottom point of the heart. Other methods for calculating heart rate can be less accurate than actually listening to the heart. Feeling the heart beat for one minute at any of several arteries in the body (like the radial, brachial, femoral and carotid) is generally considered an accurate measure of heart rate, but the apical rate is the most accurate.
How does the Polar heart rate monitor work?
There are many Polar heart rate monitor models differing in the features that they offer. But typically a Polar monitor comes with a chest strap and a wrist watch. The chest strap is used to measure electrical activities of your heart. You put it around your chest. The wrist watch is used to display your heart rate. Usually within a short time, the watch detects the heart rate signal from the chest strap. You can set heart rate limits on your exercise, so you don't over or under exert yourself. You start the stop watch when you start exercising, and stop the stop watch when you are done. You then review your exercise data (e.g. average heart rate etc) on the wrist watch to see how you did. Depending on the model, it can get a lot more complicated than what I have just described but this is the basic way to use a Polar heart rate monitor.

Do heart monitors cause radiation poisoning?
The amount of radiation that a heart monitor would put off would be so minimal that it is very unlikely that it would cause radiation poisoning. You would probably have to wear / be exposed to it 24 hours a day for years on end for there to be a noticeable reaction. http://www.cyclingforums.com/forum/thread/226852/is-there-a-danger-of-radiation-from-a-heart-rate-monitor-s-transmitter
