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 1-10 minutes.

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 earlier.

5.Start the stopwatch.

Stopwatch starts running.

6.There are five stages in finding your OwnZone. OwnZone appears typically on the 3 rd or 4 th stage (in 5-6 minutes). Keep your heart rate below 100 bpm during the first stage. After each stage you should increase your heart rate

10-20 bpm. The display shows which stage you are in:

Walking at very slow pace for 2 min.

Walking at brisk pace for 2 min.

Walking at very brisk pace for 2 min.

Jogging at slow pace for 2 min.

Running for 2 min.

7.At some point during the stages 1 - 5 you hear two beeps. This indicates that Polar heart rate monitor has determined your exercising limits and you can continue your exercising.

The determined heart rate limits are displayed for a few seconds. EXERCISE appears in the display.

You can recall the limits onto the display by bringing the receiver close to the transmitter.

You can turn the OwnZone timing signals off by pressing and

holding for two seconds

before starting the OwnZone determination.
