exercising gently at a light intensity and gradually increase intensity to raise your heart rate.
Redefine your OwnZone:
• When changing exercise environment or exercise mode.
• When taking up exercise after more than a week’s break.
• If you are not 100 percent sure of your physical or mental state – for example, if you are not
recovered from previous training, not feeling well, or are stressed.
• After changing user settings.
Before you start to determine your OwnZone, make sure that:
• Your user settings are correct.
• You select the OwnZone exercise. Every time you start the OwnZone exercise, the training computer
will automatically determine your OwnZone.
1. Wear the transmitter and stride sensor* as instructed. Start measurement by pressing OK twice.
2. When your exercise starts, OZ is displayed and OwnZone determination begins.
Determination of your OwnZone happens in five stages. After each stage, you will hear a beep (if the
sound settings are on) indicating the end of the stage.
OZ > Walk at a slow pace for 1 min. Keep your heart rate below 100 bpm / 50% HR
max
during this first
stage.
OZ >> Walk at a normal pace for 1 min. Slowly increase your heart rate by 10-20 bpm / 5% HR
max
.
OZ >>> Walk at a brisk pace for 1 min. Increase your heart rate by 10-20 bpm / 5% HR
max
.
OZ >>>> Jog at a slow pace for 1 min. Increase your heart rate by 10-20 bpm / 5% HR
max
.
OZ >>>>> Jog at a brisk pace or run for 1 min. Increase your heart rate by approximately 10 bpm/ 5 %
HR
max
.
3. At some point during the session, you will hear two consecutive beeps. This means your OwnZone
has been determined.
4. If determination was successful, OwnZone Updated and the zone are displayed. The zone is
displayed in beats per minute (bpm), as a percentage of maximum heart rate (HR%), or as a
percentage of your heart rate reserve (HRR%) depending on your settings.
5. If OwnZone determination was not successful, your previously determined OwnZone will be used
and OwnZone Limits is displayed. If OwnZone has not previously been recorded, age-based limits are
automatically applied.
You can now continue with your exercise. Try to keep inside the given heart rate zone to maximize
exercise benefits.
Alternatively, to skip OwnZone determination and use the previously determined OwnZone, press OK at
any phase of the process.
The elapsed time used for OwnZone determination is included in your exercise recording time.
6. AFTER TRAINING
