Summary for a summary of training information. The following information is displayed:
Exe. Time: Duration of the recorded training session and average heart rate
Limits: Heart rate limits used during the training session (if limits are set)
In zone: Time spent in the target heart rate zone
Kcal/ %Fat: Calories burned during the training session and fat percentage
Speed: Average speed
Cadence: Average cadence
Distance: Ridden distance
Ride Time: Ridden time. For instance, if you stop cycling but do not stop recording the training session,
the time counting will automatically stop, but the duration of the training session will continue to
accumulate.
If the AutoStart function is active, the training and cycling time are the same, as the cycling computer
automatically starts and stops recording as you start and stop cycling.
Power: Average Power
Ascent: Ascended meters / feet
Altitude: Average altitude
Sound to set sounds Off, Soft, Loud or Very loud.
Reset TRIP to reset a distance. Confirm with OK.
Auto SCROLL to set the computer to scroll the views automatically.
Sensor SEARCH to search for WearLink, Speed, Cadence* and Power* data, if the signal disappears during
the training session due to interference.

Press STOP to pause the training session. Continue is displayed.
Press STOP again.
Detach the connector from the strap after use. Keep the heart rate sensor dry and clean.

Training with OwnZone
Your cycling computer automatically determines your individual, optimum and safe training intensity zone;
your OwnZone. The unique Polar OwnZone defines your personal training zone for aerobic training. The
function guides you through a warm up, taking your present physical and mental state into account. For
most adults, OwnZone corresponds to about 65-85% of maximum heart rate.
Listening to and interpreting the signals your body sends during physical exertion is an important part of
getting fit. Since warm-up routines differ for different types of training, and since your physical and
mental state may also vary from day to day (due to stress or illness), using the OwnZone function for every
session guarantees the most effective heart rate target zone for that particular type of training and day.
OwnZone can be determined in 1-5 minutes during a warm-up period. The idea is to start training slowly
at a light intensity and to gradually increase intensity and heart rate. OwnZone is developed for healthy
people. Some health conditions may cause heart rate variability-based OwnZone determination to fail.
These conditions include high blood pressure, cardiac arrhythmias, and certain medications.
Before you start determining your OwnZone, make sure that:
Your user settings are correct.
The OwnZone function is activated. See Heart Rate Limit Settings (page 20) for more information. The
cycling computer automatically determines your OwnZone every time you start training if the OwnZone
function is on.
