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.

OwnZone appear momentarily on the illuminated

display.

In case there is no previously determined OwnZone in memory,

Polar SmartEdge starts using your age predicted exercising

limits.

O.Z.A and your age-predicted heart rate limits appear

on the illuminated display.
