Polar RCX3 Heart Rate Monitor User Manual


 
4. After the determination is finished, the training computer displays one
of the following:
Default sport zones (heart rate zones) in use. The determination was
not successful. The Polar sport zone (heart rate) limits will be used.
Sport zones optimized. Heart rate zones on higher level. The limits
have been raised compared to your average ZoneOptimizer limits. You
may consider having a high intensity training session today.
Sport zones optimized. Heart rate zones on normal level. The limits
have been raised or lowered only slightly compared to your average
ZoneOptimizer limits. You can train as normal.
Sport zones optimized. Heart rate zones on lower level. The limits
have been lowered compared to your average ZoneOptimizer limits.
5. After you have received and read the feedback, press any button,
except LIGHT, to exit the message display and continue your training
session.
Remember that you need to spend at least 2 minutes doing both phase 1 and phase 2. The duration of the last
phase is 6 minutes at maximum, and you need to be above 130 bpm for a minimum of 30 seconds, or until your
heart rate variation can no longer be detected.
If you use ZoneOptimizer within an hour since your last use, please note that the recommended sport zones can be
slightly off. This is because your body is likely to still be recovering from previous training, and heart rate
variability, which ZoneOptimizer uses, returns to normal state slower than heart rate.
Training Views
You can view different training views by pressing UP or DOWN. The number of the training view appears
for a few seconds.
The information displayed varies depending on the sensors you have installed, which features are set on
and what kind of sport you are performing.
The below tables present available training views for some different sensor combinations. In these
examples, the training information is shown on three rows. You can set the training information to be
shown on two or three rows in MENU > Settings > Sport profiles > Sport > Training view.
