5. Start the stopwatch.
OZ appears in the display.
Stopwatch starts running.
6. There are five stages in finding your OwnZone.
OwnZone appears typically on the 3
rd
or 4
th
stage (in
3-4 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 1 min.
Walking at brisk pace for 1 min.
Walking at very brisk pace for 1 min.
Jogging at slow pace for 1 min.
Running for 1 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.

OWNZONE METHODS
Polar Heart Rate Monitor uses multiple methods for
determining your OwnZone. The primary method is
based on measuring and analysing the heart rate
variability during graded exercise (OZ.V).
If your heart rate exceeds the safety limit during the
determination, Polar Heart Rate Monitor picks up your
latest OwnZone definition based on heart rate
variability (OZ.L). Alternatively, if there is no previous
determination in memory, OwnZone limits, which are
based on your age predicted maximum heart rate
(OZ.A), will be used. These methods ensure that the
safest possible exercise zone is determined for you.
The method used in defining the OwnZone is indicated
after the two beeps as follows:
1. OZ.V (OwnZone Variability) and the currently
determined OwnZone limits appear on the
illuminated display.
2. OZ.L (OwnZone Latest) and your previously
determined OwnZone limits appear on the
illuminated display.
3. OZ.A (OwnZone Age) and your age-predicted
heart rate limits appear on the illuminated display.
In models M61 and M62 you will also see which
OwnZone level you have selected to use:
BASIC (OwnZone Basic for allround exercising)
HIGH (OwnZone High for exercising at moderate
intensity)
LOW (OwnZone Low for exercising at light to moderate
intensity)
