but your wrist receiver may become disturbed by other heart rate monitors.

Press START/STOP/OK to stop the stopwatch. If you want to QUIT the heart rate measurement mode, press Up or Down to enter the Time of day display.

OWNZONE

Polar Heart Rate Monitor is able to determine the individual training heart rate zone for you. This exercise zone is called your OwnZone (OZ).

For most adults, OwnZone corresponds to 65-85 % of the maximum heart rate. OwnZone is suitable for cardiovascular training either for health-related or fitness improvement purposes.

OwnZone works well for those whose goal is weight control via physical activity and exercise, because the OwnZone corresponds to intensity from “light to moderate” to “moderate”. Exercise of this intensity level can be conducted even for extended periods safely and often yields the best results for weight loss.

The OwnZone can be found during a warmup period of an exercise session lasting 1-5 minutes.

HOW TO DETERMINE YOUR OWNZONE

OwnZone is easily determined by walking and jogging as instructed below. However, you are able to find your OwnZone with other exercise modes as well, e.g. exercising with a stationary bike. The principle is that you start exercising very slowly with light intensity and gradually increase your heart rate.

1.

Check that you have set your personal user

 

 

information correctly.

 

2.

Because OwnZone determination needs every

 

 

heart beat to be picked up properly, make sure

 

 

that the transmitter belt is tight enough and the

 

 

electrodes well moistened.

 

3.

Check that you have set the OwnZone function on.

4.

Start the heart rate measurement as described
