HOW TO USE PREVIOUSLY DETERMINED
OWNZONE
Every time you start the stopwatch and have the OwnZone
option on, Polar SmartEdge starts finding your OwnZone. It is
recommended to determine your OwnZone for every exercise
session separately. At least it should always be performed
when changing exercise environment, exercise mode or if
you have abnormal feelings about your physiological state
when starting the exercise.
However, you can choose to exercise with the latest OwnZone
limits in case you are not willing to start the process of
redefining your OwnZone.
1. Start the heart rate measurement and stopwatch as usual.
