OwnZone is easiest 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 the heart rate variability measurement 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 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. After each stage you hear a long beep which tells you that you should increase your speed slightly. The display shows which stage you are in:
1. Walking at very slow pace for 2 min.
2. Walking at brisk pace for 2 min.
3. Walking at very brisk pace for 2 min.
4. Jogging at slow pace for 2 min.
5. Running for 2 min.
7.At some point during the stages 2 - 5 you hear two beeps. This indicates that Polar M71 ti has determined

your exercising limits and you can continue your exercising.
The determined heart rate limits are displayed for a few seconds.
You can recall the limits onto the display by bringing the watch close to the transmitter.
If needed you can reset the stopwatch to zero and restart OwnZone determination:
1.Stop the OwnZone determination by pressing SET/START/ STOP.
Heart rate limits for your previously determined OwnZone appear on the display.
2.Stop the stopwatch by pressing SET/START/STOP.
3.To reset the stopwatch press and hold SET/START/STOP for 2 seconds.
4.To restart the stopwatch press SET/START/STOP.
You can turn the OwnZone timing signals off by pressing and holding 
/LIGHT for two seconds before starting the OwnZone determination.
However you will hear two long beep signals at the time Polar M71 ti has determined your OwnZone heart rate limits.
