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 SIGNAL/LIGHT for two seconds before
starting the OwnZone determination. However you will
hear two long beep signals at the time Polar SmartEdge
has determined your OwnZone heart rate limits.
OWNZONE METHODS
Polar SmartEdge uses multiple methods for determining your
safe OwnZone. The primary method is to measure and
analyse the heart rate variability and thereby determine the
most individual and current parameters.
If your heart rate exceeds the safety limit during the
determination, Polar SmartEdge picks up your latest OwnZone
definition based on heart rate variability. Alternatively, if there
is no previous determination in memory, Polar SmartEdge will
automatically calculate Target Zone limits which are based on
your age predicted maximum heart rate. These methods ensure
the safest possible exercising zone determination for you.
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. Moisturizing cream can be used to improve
the contact.
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 SmartEdge has determined your
exercising limits and you can continue your exercising.
The determined heart rate limits are displayed
for a few seconds.
