Determining Your OwnZone Heart Rate Limits
Before you start to determine your OwnZone, make sure of the following:
You have entered your user settings correctly. The cycling computer will ask for missing information (for example date of
birth) before accepting limit settings.
You have activated the OwnZone limits. With the OwnZone function on, the cycling computer will automatically determine
your OwnZone every time you start recording an exercise session.
You should redefi ne your OwnZone:
when changing your exercise environment or exercise mode;
if you are returning to exercise after a more than one week off;
if you feel unusual about the physical state of your body when starting to exercise. For example you are stressed, not
recovered from the previous training or not feeling well;
after changing your settings.
