OwnZone Determines personal heart rate limits for an exercise session. The Polar OwnZone (OZ) feature determines an individual exercise zone. It guides you through an appropriate warm-up routine and automatically determines a safe and effective exercise heart rate zone - your OwnZone - while taking into account your current physical condition.
Polar Heart Rate Monitors use multiple methods for determining your OwnZone. The primary method is to measure your heart rate variability during the warm-up period before exercising. If the measurement is not successful, your latest saved OwnZone limits are used. If there are no previous limits in the memory, the Polar Heart Rate Monitor will automatically calculate OwnZone limits based on your age-predicted maximum heart rate (220 minus age). You should determine your OwnZone at the beginning of your workout whenever you change exercise environment and/or exercise mode or if your mental state changes when feeling stressed, for instance.
The OwnZone Basic corresponds to 65-85 % of the maximum heart rate. Exercise at the lower end of this intensity level can be conducted for extended periods safely and often yields the best results for weight control, while exercise at the upper end of this intensity produces the best results for improving cardiovascular (aerobic) fitness.
The OwnZone Advanced feature consists of two training areas: OwnZone Low and OwnZone High, providing greater variations in exercising than the OwnZone Basic area, which can be rather wide for more focused training.
The OwnZone Light corresponds to 60-70% of your maximum heart rate. This intensity still feels fairly easy for most people. It helps in weight control and improves endurance and cardiovascular fitness.
The OwnZone Moderate corresponds to 70-80% of your maximum heart rate. This intensity is especially good for people who are exercising regularly. Exercising in this zone is particularly effective for improving cardiovascular fitness.
The OwnZone Hard corresponds to 80-90% of maximum heart rate. You will find yourself breathing heavily, having tired muscles and feeling fatigued. This intensity is recommended occasionally for fit people.
The OwnZone Weight corresponds to about 60-75% of your maximum heart rate. The OwnZone Weight is ideal for weight loss exercise for less fit individuals and for those recovering from sickness or intensive training. OwnCal® Counts and displays calorie expenditure.
The Polar OwnCal feature shows your energy expenditure during one exercise session as well as your accumulated kilocalories during several exercise sessions.
You can set daily and weekly exercise goals in terms of calorie expenditure with the OwnCal feature. Because the OwnCal tracks both the energy expenditure during one exercise session and the accumulated kilocalories during a longer time e.g. one week, it helps in achieving both short term and long term goals. OwnCode® Prevents cross-talk from other heart rate monitors. As more and more people use heart rate monitors today, preventing cross talk from other devices in group situations at the gym or when jogging with a friend becomes essential. The unique coded technology blocks unwanted signals from other heart rate monitors, ensuring disturbance-free transmission of your heart rate data. HR-based target zones with visual and audible alarms 1 HR max (age based) Heart rate (average) of total exercise A figure expressed in beats per minute (bpm) representing the average heart rate measured over a specific period of time (e.g. an exercise session). Heart rate (maximum) of total exercise A figure expressed in beats per minute (bpm) representing the peak heart rate measured over a specific period of time (e.g. an exercise session). Heart rate - average for each lap Heart rate - maximum for each lap Number of laps 99 laps Exercise date Alternating / repeating countdown timers Bike mount - OPTIONAL OwnCal® Counts and displays calorie expenditure.

Uplink Number of exercise files (with summaries) 1 files The number of exercise files stored in your heart rate monitor. An exercise file includes total exercise time, time in target zone and average heart rate. Exercise file info page with date and time Exercise Time (total) The time you have exercised with the stopwatch running. The Total Exercise Time feature keeps track of your cumulative exercise time since last resetting the counter. This feature gives you yet another way to set daily or weekly exercise goals for yourself. Target zone - Time in target zone The Time in Target Zone feature calculates the amount of total exercise time spent in your personal target zone. You can use this feature together with the Total Exercise Time to determine the effectiveness of your exercise program. Target zone limits Average heart rate Calorie expenditure (Exercise/Total/Fat%) Exe. Week Tot. Fat% The feature in Polar Heart Rate Monitors calculating the number of kilocalories expended during exercise is called OwnCal. This function allows you to follow the kilocalories expended during one exercise session (exercise on display) and cumulative kilocalories expended during several exercise sessions (total on display). The fat-burning percentage (fat% on display) estimat kilocalories expended from fat during a workout and is expressed as a percentage of the total kilocalories burned. Lap info Heart rate (displayed as bpm) A measurement of the work your heart does, most commonly expressed as the number of beats per minute (bpm). Heart rate (displayed as % of maximum heart rate) A measurement of the work your heart does, expressed as % of your maximum heart rate. Automatic/Manual target zone (% / bpm) Target zones - Visual and Audible alarms A feature informing you every time your heart rate and/or speed/pace exceeds the upper limit or falls below the lower limit of your target heart rate zone during an exercise session. Water resistant 50 m Backlight Heart touch, button-free operation of wrist unit This function enables button free operation of certain main functions, e.g. when gloves make pressing buttons difficult.

Heart rate sets: pre-program favorite exercise settings. Easy start (setting wizard) A feature where the receiver guides you through the necessary settings. Oversized display User configurable displays - top line Keylock Time of day (12/24hour) with alarm Date and weekday indicator Stopwatch Low battery indicator Alarm with snooze T31 Coded chest transmitter INCLUDED IN PRODUCT Wearlink 31 coded chest transmitter (changeable battery) compatible How to measure for the correct Transmitter Size: BECAUSE ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL The measurement for the transmitter should be taken right below the pectoral muscles or breasts. If you are on the borderline of the sizes, we recommend going up to the next size. The measurements are calculated in inches, and the straps are elastic so sizes can vary based on personal comfort level. If you order the wrong size, you can exchange just the elastic strap portion only, or order a replacement elastic strap located under transmitters.
If this product contains a T31 non-coded Chest Transmitter It is a new ergonomic design that is 25% smaller. Smaller means increased comfort. A flexible rubber transmitter with manufacturer changable batteries. A good transmitter for swimmers.

The transmitter’s textile strap is removable and machine washable. Replaceable fabric strap (Life of strap - 100 machine washings) The WearLink transmitter has a changeable battery and it delivers up to two years of use exercising 10 hours a week. Water resistant up to 30 meters and it is ECG accurate.
Polar Coded Versus Non-Coded Transmitters: * Coded Transmission will greatly reduce cross talk (interference) from other heart rate monitor users with 3 feet of you. * Coded Transmitters will work with Gym equipment that is Heart Rate Monitor Ready, but the transmission will not be coded. * Coded Frequency will not eliminate (but can reduce) interference from other wireless disruptions like high tension wires, computers, wireless cycling systems, etc.
While you can upgrade your transmitter strap for comfort, the Wearlink or T31 transmitter will only offer a non-coded frequency to a non coded wrist receiver. Timex and some Oregon Scientific offer Digital FM Frequency, which eliminates the cross talk and interference of Analog Frequencies.
