Training with OwnZone
Your cycling computer automatically determines your individual, optimum and safe training intensity zone; your OwnZone. The unique Polar OwnZone defines your personal training zone for aerobic training. The function guides you through a warm up, taking your present physical and mental state into account. For most adults, OwnZone corresponds to about 65-85% of maximum heart rate.
Listening to and interpreting the signals your body sends during physical exertion is an important part of getting fit. Since warm-up routines differ for different types of training, and since your physical and mental state may also vary from day to day (due to stress or illness), using the OwnZone function for every session guarantees the most effective heart rate target zone for that particular type of training and day.
OwnZone can be determined in 1-5 minutes during a warm-up period. The idea is to start training slowly at a light intensity and to gradually increase intensity and heart rate. OwnZone is developed for healthy people. Some health conditions may cause heart rate variability-based OwnZone determination to fail.
These conditions include high blood pressure, cardiac arrhythmias, and certain medications.
Before you start determining your OwnZone, make sure that:
• Your user settings are correct.
•
The OwnZone function is activated. See Heart Rate Limit Settings (page 20) for more information. The
cycling computer automatically determines your OwnZone every time you start training if the OwnZone function is on.
14 Training
ENGLISH
Determining Your OwnZone
Your OwnZone is determined in five stages. If the sounds are on, a beep will indicate the end of each stage.
1.
Wear the heart rate sensor as instructed. Start from time mode and press START .
2.
OZ > is displayed and OwnZone determination begins. Cycle or walk at a slow pace for 1 min. Keep your heart rate below 100 bpm/ 50 % HR max during this first stage.
3.
OZ >> Cycle or walk at a normal pace for 1 min. Slowly increase your heart rate by appr. 10 bpm/ 5%
HR max
.
4.
OZ >>> Cycle or walk at a brisk pace for 1 min. Slowly increase your heart rate by appr. 10 bpm/ 5%
HR max .
5.
OZ >>>> Cycle at a brisk pace or jog at a slow pace for 1 min. Slowly increase your heart rate by appr.
10bpm/ 5% HR max
.
6.
OZ >>>>> Cycle or jog at a brisk pace or run for 1 min. Increase your heart rate by appr. 10bpm/ 5%
HR max .
When you hear two consecutive beeps, your OwnZone has been determined.
OwnZone Updated and the heart rate zone are displayed. The zone is displayed in beats per minute (bpm) or as a percentage of maximum heart rate (HR%), depending on your settings.
If OwnZone determination was not successful, your previously determined OwnZone will be used and
OwnZone appears with limits on the display. If OwnZone has not previously been determined, age-based limits are automatically used.
You can now continue with your training session. Try to keep inside the given heart rate zone to maximize training benefits. The elapsed time used for OwnZone determination is included in your recorded training time.
Alternatively, to skip OwnZone determination and to use the previously determined OwnZone, press STOP at any phase of the process.
Redetermine your OwnZone:
• When changing training environment or training mode.
• When training for the first time after a week’s break.
• If you have not recovered from the previous training session or if you are not feeling well or are stressed.
• After changing user settings.

Wheel
In Wheel SET you can set the wheel size (mm) of your bike. Wheel size settings are a prerequisite for accurate cycling information.
There are two ways to determine the wheel size of your bike:
Method 1
Measure the wheel manually for the most accurate result.
Use the valve to mark the point where the wheel touches the ground. Draw a line on the ground to mark the point. Move your bike forward on a flat surface for one complete rotation. The tire should be perpendicular to the ground. Draw another line on the ground when the valve is at the starting point to mark a full rotation. Measure the distance between the two lines.
Subtract 4 mm from the distance to account for your weight on the bike to get your wheel circumference.
Enter this value in the cycling computer.
Method 2
Look for the diameter in inches or in ETRTO printed on the wheel. Match it to the wheel size in millimeters in the right column of the chart.
You can also check the wheel size from the manufacturer.

Altitude Settings
Calibrate the altimeter to ensure accurate measurement.
Manual calibration: Set the reference altitude whenever a reliable reference, such as a peak or a topographic map, is available or you are at the sea level.
Automatic calibration: By using the automatic altitude calibration, you can adjust the starting elevation to be always the same in the beginning of the training session. Calibrate the elevation manually and turn the automatic calibration on. From now on, this elevation will be always used as the base elevation in the beginning of the training session if automatic altitude calibration is in use. Also, if the automatic calibration is turned on and you calibrate the cycling computer manually, the new value will be used as a new starting elevation for automatic calibration.
Select automatic calibration if you always train in the same environment to ensure correct altitude values.

Precautions
The Polar cycling computer displays your performance indicators. It is designed to indicate the level of physiological strain and recovery during and after exercise session. It also measures speed and distance when cycling with a Polar CS speed sensor W.I.N.D. The Polar CS cadence sensor W.I.N.D. is designed to measure cadence when cycling. The Polar LOOK Kéo Power system is designed to measure power output when cycling. No other use is intended or implied.
The Polar cycling computer should not be used for obtaining environmental measurements that require professional or industrial precision. Furthermore, the device should not be used to obtain measurements when engaged in airborne or underwater activities.
Interference During Exercise
Disturbance may occur near microwave ovens and computers. Also WLAN base stations may cause interference when exercising with CS500+. To avoid erratic reading or misbehaviors, move away from possible sources of disturbance.
Minimizing Risks When Exercising
Exercise may include some risk. Before beginning a regular exercise program, it is recommended that you answer the following questions concerning your health status. If you answer yes to any of these questions, we recommend that you consult a doctor before starting any training program.
• Have you been physically inactive for the past 5 years?
• Do you have high blood pressure or high blood cholesterol?
• Do you have symptoms of any disease?
Important Information 31
ENGLISH
• Are you taking any blood pressure or heart medication?
• Do you have a history of breathing problems?
• Are you recovering from a serious illness or medical treatment?
• Do you use a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device?
• Do you smoke?
• Are you pregnant?
Note that in addition to exercise intensity, medications for heart conditions, blood pressure, psychological conditions, asthma, breathing, etc., as well as some energy drinks, alcohol, and nicotine may also affect heart rate.
It is important to be sensitive to your body’s responses during exercise. If you feel unexpected pain or excessive fatigue when exercising, it is recommended that you stop the exercise or continue at a lighter intensity.
Note! If you are using a pacemaker, you can use Polar training computers. In theory interference to pacemaker caused by Polar products should not be possible. In practice no reports exist to suggest anyone ever having experienced interference. We cannot however issue an official guarantee on our products' suitability with all pacemakers or other implanted devices due to the variety of devices available. If you have any doubts, or if you experience any unusual sensations while using Polar products, please consult your physician or contact the implanted electronic device manufacturer to determine safety in your case.
If you are allergic to any substance that comes into contact with your skin or if you suspect an allergic
reaction due to using the product, check the listed materials in Technical Specifications. To avoid any skin reaction to the heart rate sensor, wear it over a shirt, but moisten the shirt well under the electrodes to ensure flawless operation.
The combined impact of moisture and intense abrasion may cause a black color to come off the heart rate sensor’s surface, possibly staining light-colored clothes. If you use insect repellent on your skin, you must ensure that it does not come into contact with the heart rate sensor.
