HOW TO DETERMINE
YOUR OWNZONE
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.
appears in the display.
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.
