Polar FT80 Heart Rate Monitor User Manual


 
Start Training with OwnZone
Starting every session with OwnZone
determination guarantees safe, effective and
individual heart rate zones.
Check your OwnZone at least:
when you change training environment or sport.
when you train after more than a week’s break.
if you have not recovered from previous
session/you are not feeling well/are stressed.
after changing your user information.
OwnZone determination takes only five minutes,
and can be performed as a warm-up in any sport.
If training program is activated and you actively
use this determination, FT80 incorporates your
long-term results when updating program targets.

Troubleshooting
If OwnZone determination fails, and you have
determined your OwnZone limits earlier, Previous
limits in use is displayed. If you have not
determined your OwnZone limits, Age-based
limits in use is displayed. The OwnZone
determination fails if the heart rate rises too fast
during the OwnZone determination/if the heart
rate is too high at the beginning of the test.
