As an adult, it is recommended to do moderately intensive exercise for at least 2.5 hours per week. Preferably spread over several days.
An adult's resting heart rate is between 60 and 100 beats per minute.
As a rule of thumb for your maximum heart rate, you can use 220 minus your age.
To replace the battery in the Polar M62 heart rate monitor strap, follow these steps: 1. Detach the transmitter from the elastic strap of the heart rate monitor. 2. Adjust the strap length to fit snugly and comfortably around your chest, just below the chest muscles. Lock the buckle to secure the strap. 3. Lift the transmitter off your chest and wet the grooved electrode areas on the back of it. 4. Ensure that the wet electrode areas are firmly against your skin and that the Polar logo is in a central upright position. 5. After exercising, to preserve the electrodes and battery life, wash the transmitter carefully with a mild soap and water solution. 6. Rinse the transmitter with pure water. 7. Dry the transmitter carefully before reattaching it to the elastic strap. It is important to note that these steps are specific to the Polar M62 heart rate monitor strap. Make sure to follow these instructions to ensure proper battery replacement and optimal performance of your heart rate monitor.
The heart rate measurement may be inaccurate when using the Polar M62 wrist receiver due to various factors. Here are the possible reasons: 1. Crosstalk: The wrist receiver in non-coded mode can pick up signals from multiple transmitters within a range of 1 meter/3 feet. This can result in incorrect readings. To minimize this issue, try to avoid having other heart rate monitors or electronic devices nearby while using the wrist receiver. 2. Interference from exercise equipment: Some exercise equipment with electronic components, such as LED displays, motors, and electrical brakes, can cause stray signals that interfere with the heart rate measurement. To address this, try moving the wrist receiver to different positions until you find an area where it displays no stray readings or flashing of the heart symbol. Avoid placing the wrist receiver directly in front of the equipment's display panel. 3. Electrical noise: Certain exercise equipment may generate electrical noise that disrupts wireless heart rate measurement. If the wrist receiver still doesn't work properly with a particular piece of equipment, it may be too noisy for accurate heart rate measurement. It's important to note that these factors can affect the accuracy of the heart rate measurement when using the Polar M62 wrist receiver. Taking these precautions can help improve the reliability of the readings during your workouts.
To clean the strap of the Polar M62 heart rate monitor, follow these steps: 1. Detach the transmitter from the elastic strap. 2. Adjust the strap length to fit snugly and comfortably around your chest, just below the chest muscles. Lock the buckle to secure the strap. 3. Lift the transmitter off your chest and wet the grooved electrode areas on the back of it. 4. Check that the wet electrode areas are firmly against your skin and that the Polar logo is in a central upright position. 5. After exercising, to preserve the electrodes and battery life, wash the transmitter carefully with a mild soap and water solution. 6. Rinse the transmitter with pure water. 7. Dry the transmitter carefully before reattaching it to the elastic strap. It is important to clean the strap regularly to maintain proper hygiene and ensure accurate heart rate measurement. By following these steps, you can keep your Polar M62 heart rate monitor strap clean and in good condition.
If the Polar M62 heart rate monitor strap causes skin irritation, you can take the following steps to address the issue: 1. Check the materials: Refer to the "Technical Specifications" chapter in the manual to identify the materials used in the strap. Ensure that you are not allergic to any of these materials. 2. Wear over a shirt: To minimize direct contact between the strap and your skin, consider wearing the strap over a shirt. However, make sure to moisten the shirt under the electrodes to ensure accurate heart rate measurement. 3. Regularly wash the transmitter: After each use, wash the transmitter carefully with mild soap and water. This helps to remove any sweat or dirt that may accumulate on the strap. 4. Avoid storing the strap wet: After washing, make sure to dry the strap thoroughly before storing it. Storing the strap while it is still wet can lead to bacterial growth and potential skin irritation. By following these steps, you can help alleviate skin irritation caused by the Polar M62 heart rate monitor strap. If the issue persists or worsens, it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional for further guidance.
To determine your individual training heart rate zone using the OwnZone feature of the Polar M62 heart rate monitor, follow these steps: 1. Ensure that you have set your personal user information correctly on the heart rate monitor. 2. Make sure that the transmitter belt is tight enough and the electrodes are well moistened to ensure proper heart rate detection. 3. Check that the OwnZone function is turned on in the heart rate monitor settings. 4. Start the heart rate measurement and stopwatch as usual. 5. During the warm-up period of your exercise session, which typically lasts 1-5 minutes, the heart rate monitor will automatically start finding your OwnZone. 6. The heart rate monitor will gradually increase the intensity of the exercise and monitor your heart rate response. 7. Once the OwnZone is determined, it will be displayed on the screen as "OZ" along with the corresponding heart rate limits. 8. You can now exercise within your OwnZone, which typically corresponds to 65-85% of your maximum heart rate. 9. If you have previously determined your OwnZone and want to use those limits, start the heart rate measurement and press the START/STOP/OK button to use the latest determined OwnZone values. By following these steps, you can accurately determine and utilize your individual training heart rate zone using the OwnZone feature of the Polar M62 heart rate monitor.
