INTRODUCTION TO WEIGHT MANAGEMENT PRODUCT ENGLISH
77
The Polar Weight Management Product is for healthy adults who want to successfully manage their weight. The Weight
Management Program is based on exercise and diet, giving you guidance on how much energy to expend through exercise
and how many calories to eat in order to achieve your target body weight.
The personalized Program helps you to plan gradual weight loss by recommending a target weight and Program duration,
taking into account your current weight, height, gender, and age. In addition to the target weight and duration, the Program
asks you to determine your daily activity level and the amount of exercise you want to aim for. Based on the chosen values,
you receive targets for daily nutrition intake and weekly energy expenditure in calories, for example the number of calories
you should obtain from food and drink and the number of calories you should burn while exercising. By following these
recommendations, you will achieve your target weight by the end of the Program. For further information, see the section
Creating a Weight Management Program
, page 78.
After you create your Program, you should start monitoring your progress in the electronic Diary on a daily and/or weekly
basis. In the Diary, you can update your current weight and check it against the recommended target weight.
If you have the WM22/WM21 Weight Management Product, see the section
Monitoring and Updating Your Progress with
WM22/WM21
, page 82 for further information.
In addition to your weight, the WM42/WM41 Weight Management Product also allows you to monitor your nutrition intake
calories and exercise calories on a daily basis. It also enables you to update your Weight Management Program on a weekly
basis. This means that you are able to keep your progress up to date by just entering your current weight on a weekly basis.
Depending on the results obtained, you may receive new nutrition intake and weekly exercise targets for the following week.

3. EXERCISING WITH YOUR WEIGHT MANAGEMENT PRODUCT
In the Exercise menu, you can check your heart rate and calorie expenditure. To measure your heart rate, you need to wear
the transmitter. The wrist unit automatically records and saves the exercise information and calculates the energy
expenditure during your exercise session.
3.1 HOW TO PUT YOUR TRANSMITTER ON AND START RECORDING YOUR EXERCISE
1.Attach one end of the transmitter to the elastic strap.
2.Adjust the transmitter’s strap length to fit snugly and comfortably. Secure the strap
around your chest, just below the chest muscles, and buckle the strap to the transmitter.

3.3 OWNZONE
The Polar Weight Management WM42/WM41 product is able to determine your individual exercise heart rate zone automatically.
This is called OwnZone (OZ). It can be done during a warm-up period lasting 1–5 minutes by walking or jogging. You can
also determine your OwnZone in other exercise modes. The main idea is that you start exercising slowly with light intensity.
You then gradually increase the intensity of your exercise to raise your heart rate. Using OwnZone makes exercise easier and
more enjoyable. You do not have to worry about calculations or guesswork for your exercise intensity determination.
There are two different exercise intensity zones, which you can select in the Settings menu for the OwnZone function:
OwnZone Weight and OwnZone Basic. OwnZone Weight is an ideal exercise heart rate for weight loss purposes. OwnZone
Basic is suitable for moderate intensity exercise. It can also be used for weight maintenance exercise. For further information,
see the section
How to Change Settings
, page 106.
ENGLISH EXERCISING WITH YOUR WEIGHT MANAGEMENT PRODUCT
98
The different OwnZone methods ensure that the safest possible exercise zone is determined for you.
OZV, OwnZone VariabilityThis is the primary method based on measuring changes in your heart rate variability during
warm-up for exercise. Heart rate variability reflects changes in your body’s physiology.
OZL, OwnZone LatestIf your heart rate variability decreases either too slowly or too fast or if your heart rate exceeds
the safety limit during the OZ determination, the wrist unit selects your latest OwnZone.
OZA, OwnZone AgeAlternatively, if there is no previous OwnZone determination in memory and your OZV fails, your
age-based heart rate zone is used. This corresponds to 60–75% or 65–85% of your maximum
heart rate depending on whether you have selected OZ Weight or OZ Basic, respectively.
3.3.1 DETERMINING YOUR OWNZONE HEART RATE LIMITS
Check the following before starting to determine your OwnZone:
•You have set your user information correctly.
•You have switched the OwnZone function on. Each time you start saving exercise information and have the OwnZone
function on, the wrist unit starts finding your OwnZone. For further information, see the section
How to Change
Settings
, page 105.
You should always redefine your OwnZone:
• When changing your exercise environment or exercise mode.
• If you feel unusual, e.g. stressed or ill, about the physical state of your body when starting to exercise.
• After changing your settings.
1.If you start from the Time of Day display, press OK twice. Wait until your heart rate appears.
Press OK. OZ appears in the display.
If you want to skip OwnZone determination and use the previously determined OwnZone (OZL), press OK and go to step 3.
If you have not determined your OwnZone before, your age-based heart rate limits (OZA) are used.
EXERCISING WITH YOUR WEIGHT MANAGEMENT PRODUCT ENGLISH
99
2.You determine your OwnZone in five stages:
Walk at a slow pace for 1 min. Keep your heart rate below 100 bpm during this first stage. After each stage you
hear a beep (if the sound settings are on) and the display automatically illuminates (if you have switched the
backlight on once before), indicating the end of the stage.
Walk at a normal pace for 1 min. Smoothly increase your heart rate by 10–20 bpm.
Walk at a brisk pace for 1 min. Smoothly increase your heart rate by 10–20 bpm.
Jog at a slow pace for 1 min. Smoothly increase your heart rate by 10–20 bpm.
Jog at brisk pace or run for 1 min.
3.At some point during stages 1–5, you hear two beeps. Your OwnZone has been determined.
The following information is displayed:
See the explanations for OZV, OZL, and OZA on the previous page.
OwnZone heart rate limits.
Current heart rate.
You can now continue your exercise. Try to stay within the given heart rate zone to maximize
the benefits of the exercise.

ENGLISH CARE AND MAINTENANCE
6. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your Polar Weight Management Product is a high-tech instrument and should be treated with care. The suggestions below
will help you fulfill the guarantee obligations.
Taking care of your Polar Weight Management Product
•Wash the transmitter regularly after use with a mild soap and water solution. Dry it carefully after washing with a soft
towel. Keep the wrist unit clean and wipe off any moisture.
• Never store the transmitter wet. Sweat and moisture can keep its electrodes wet and the transmitter activated, which
shortens the battery life.
• Store your Weight Management Product in a cool and dry place. Do not store it in any kind of non-breathing material,
such as a plastic bag or a sports bag if it is wet.
• Do not bend or stretch the transmitter. This may damage the electrodes.
• Do not dry the transmitter in any other way than with a towel. Mishandling may damage the electrodes.
• Keep your Weight Management Product out of extreme cold and heat. The operating temperature is 14 °F to 122 °F/
-10 °C to +50 °C.
• Do not expose the Weight Management Product to direct sunlight for extended periods, such as by leaving it in a car.
Transmitter Batteries
The estimated average battery life of the transmitter is 2500 hours of use. Contact your authorized Polar Service Center for a
replacement transmitter. Polar recycles used transmitters. See your Customer Care and Registration Card for detailed
instructions.
116
CARE AND MAINTENANCE ENGLISH
Wrist Unit Batteries
The estimated average battery life of the wrist unit is two years in normal use. Please note that excessive use of the
backlight and the alarm signals drain the battery more rapidly. The symbol indicates low battery and that the battery
should be replaced. Do not open the wrist unit yourself. To ensure the water resistance properties and the use of qualified
components, the wrist unit battery should be replaced by an authorized Polar Service Center only.
At the same time, a full periodic check of the Polar Weight Management Product will be done.
Note: Water resistance cannot be guaranteed after unauthorized service.
Polar Service Center
Should your Polar Weight Management Product need service, see your Customer Care and Registration Card to contact an
authorized Polar Service Center.

7. PRECAUTIONS
7.1 THE POLAR WEIGHT MANAGEMENT PRODUCT AND INTERFERENCE DURING EXERCISE
Electromagnetic Interference
Disturbances may occur near high voltage power lines, traffic lights, overhead lines of electric railways, electric bus lines or
trams, televisions, car motors, bike computers, some motor driven exercise equipment, cellular phones, or when you walk
through electric security gates.
Exercise Equipment
Several pieces of exercise equipment with electronic or electrical components such as LED displays, motors, and electrical
brakes may cause interfering stray signals. To try to tackle these problems, relocate the wrist unit as follows:
1.Remove the transmitter from your chest and use the exercise equipment as you would normally.
2.Move the wrist unit around until you find an area in which it displays no stray reading or does not flash the heart symbol.
Interference is often worst right in front of the display panel of the equipment, while the left or right side of the display is
relatively free of disturbance.
3.Put the transmitter back on your chest and keep the wrist unit in this interference-free area as far as it is possible.
4.If the Polar Weight Management Product still does not work with the exercise equipment, this piece of equipment may be
electrically too noisy for wireless heart rate measurement.
Crosstalk
When in non-coded mode , the wrist unit picks up transmitter signals within 3 feet/1 meter. Simultaneous non-coded
signals from more than one transmitter can cause an incorrect readout.
ENGLISH PRECAUTIONS
118PRECAUTIONS ENGLISH
Using the Polar Weight Management Product in Water Environment
Your Polar Weight Management Product is water resistant to 160 feet/50 meters.
Users measuring their heart rate in water may experience interference for the following reasons:
• Pool water with a high chlorine content and seawater are very conductive. This may cause a short circuit in the
electrodes of the transmitter, which prevents ECG signals from being detected by the transmitter unit.
• Jumping into water or strenuous muscle movement during competitive swimming may cause water resistance that
shifts the transmitter on the body to a location where it is not possible to pick up ECG signals.
• The ECG signal strength depends on the individual and also varies depending on an individual’s tissue composition.
The percentage of people who have problems in heart rate measuring is considerably higher in water than in other use.
• Do not press the buttons of the wrist unit under water.
7.2 MINIMIZING POSSIBLE RISKS OF THE WEIGHT MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
The Polar Weight Management Progam is not targeted at those who are underweight (BMI less than 18.5) or severely obese
(BMI over 35). If you have obesity-related diseases or other medical conditions, you are advised to consult your physician,
nurse, or physiotherapist before starting any exercise. Too rapid weight loss (more than 4,4 lbs/2 kg per week) is not
recommended. Steady weight loss with small changes in nutrition and physical activity ensures the best and longest results.
If you experience any atypical symptoms related to digestion or body fluid balance, heart symptoms, or disorders in your
joints or ligaments during the Program, we recommend you consult medical personnel. The Program is not recommended for
use during pregnancy.
Exercise may include some risk, especially for those who have been sedentary. Before starting a regular exercise program, it
is recommended that you answer the following questions about your health status. If the answer is yes to any of these
questions, we recommend that you consult a doctor before starting an exercise program.
• Have you not exercised for the past 5 years?
119ENGLISH PRECAUTIONS
• Do you have high blood pressure?
• Do you have high blood cholesterol?
• Do you have symptoms of any disease?
• 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 another implanted electronic device?
• Do you smoke?
• Are you pregnant?
Note that in addition to exercise intensity, medication for heart problems, blood pressure, psychical conditions, asthma,
breathing as well as some energy drinks, alcohol, and nicotine, can affect heart rate.
It is important to be sensitive to your body’s reactions 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.
Notice to persons with pacemakers, defibrillators, or other implanted electronic devices. Individuals who have a
pacemaker use the Polar Weight Management Product at their own risk. Before use, we always recommend an exercise test
under a doctor’s supervision. The test is to ensure the safety and reliability of the simultaneous use of the pacemaker and
the Weight Management Product.
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 the
Technical Specifications
chapter, page 125. To avoid any skin reaction risk
with the transmitter, wear it over a shirt. However, moisten the shirt well under the electrodes to ensure flawless operation.

8. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why should I update my weight daily?
If you enter your weight in your wrist unit daily, the Program is more accurate and you achieve better results.
How much can my weight increase before the arrow of the weight Diary turns to the left?
In a Weight Loss Program, the arrow shows today’s weight compared to yesterday’s weight (or the last updated weight, if you have
not inputted your weight daily). In a Weight Maintenance Program, your weight is compared to your target weight. Your weight is
allowed to increase 3.3 lbs/1.5 kg before the arrow turns to the left as an alarm to pay attention to your weight.
What should I do if...
...I burn more exercise calories than is recommended by the Weight Management Program?
Exceeding the target amount of exercise calories by a small amount is not harmful, it is even desirable! If you exceed the target
by a continuous and large amount, it is recommended that you create a new Program and select a higher amount of exercise for
your new Program. This way, the amount of your intake calories is in proportion to the real amount you exercise.
...I eat more calories than is recommended by the Weight Management Program?
In order to reach your targets, it is good to stick to the given Program. Exceeding the calorie target once does not matter, but it is
important that you update all the calories you have eaten in the wrist unit. This way the Program can adjust itself for you.
...I burn less exercise calories than the weekly recommended amount?
In order to reach your targets, it is good to stick to the given Program. In WM22/WM21, the monitoring of the Weight
Management Program should be done manually with the Weight Management Guide Book. If you notice that you are running
notably behind your targets, it is recommended that you create a new Program and recheck the requested values.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ENGLISH
121
ENGLISH FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
In WM42/41, your progress is checked in the weekly update and you will be given new targets for the following week. If you
have lagged behind the targets, your Program will automatically become stricter so that you can reach your original target
weight in the desired time.
...someone else starts using my wrist unit?
Each time the user changes, the new user should enter her/his user information settings first and then create a new Weight
Management Program. When the user settings are changed, the old Program is no longer valid and the electronic Diaries are
reset to zero.
Changing the user information or creating a new Weight Management Program does not delete the saved data from the
Exercise File and the Diary File. The saved new Program data is automatically added to the old Program data in the Diary File.
The old data has no affect on the new Program.
...I forget the last weekly update of my Weight Loss Program?
The Program automatically changes to a Weight Maintenance Program. To check your new Program’s targets, see
Monitoring
and Updating Your Progress with WM42/WM41
chapter, page 84.
...I don’t know where I am in the Setting or File menu?
Press and hold the Back button until the time of day is displayed.
...there is no heart rate reading (- -)?
1.Check that the electrodes of the transmitter are moistened and that you are wearing it as instructed.
2.Check that you have kept the transmitter clean.
3.Check that there are no sources of electromagnetic radiation in close vicinity to the wrist unit, such as TV sets, cellular
phones, CRT monitors, etc.
4.Have you had a cardiac event that may have altered your ECG waveform? In this case, consult your physician.
122
...heart symbol flashes irregularly?
1.Check that your wrist unit is inside the transmission range and not further than 3 feet/1 meter from the Polar
transmitter you are wearing.
2.Check that the elastic strap has not become loose during exercise.
3.Make sure that the electrodes of the transmitter are moistened.
4.Make sure that there is no other heart rate transmitter within the reception range (3 feet/1 meter).
5.Cardiac arrhythmia may cause irregular readings. In this case, consult your physician.
...the heart rate reading becomes erratic or extremely high?
You may have come within range of strong electromagnetic signals that cause erratic readings on the wrist unit display.
Check your surroundings and move further away from the source of the disturbance.
...the display is blank?
The Polar Weight Management Product is in battery saving mode when it is dispatched from the factory. To activate it,
press any of the buttons. The Basic Settings starts. See the section
Basic Settings of Your New Wrist Unit
, page 75.
...the symbol is activated?
Usually the first sign of an expired battery is the low battery indicator . Have the batteries checked.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ENGLISH
123ENGLISH FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
...the buttons do not react?
Reset the wrist unit. Resetting clears the date and time settings. The User, File, and Diary information are saved.
Press all buttons except the Light button at the same time until the display is filled with digits.
Press OK. For further information, see the section
Basic Settings of Your New Wrist Unit
, page 75,
starting from step 2.
If you do not press any button after you reset the wrist unit, within one minute the wrist unit
goes to the Time of Day display.
If this does not work, have the batteries checked.
...the wrist unit battery needs to be changed?
We recommend that any service be done by an authorized Polar Service Center. The guarantee does not cover damage or
consequential damage caused by service not authorised by Polar Electro. The Polar Service Center will test your wrist unit for
water resistance after battery replacement and make a full periodic check of your complete Polar Weight Management
Product.
...another person with a Weight Management Product/Heart Rate Monitor is causing interference?
Your exercise partner may have coincidentally activated exactly the same code as you. In this case, move away from your
exercise partner or proceed as follows:
1.Stop the stopwatch and heart rate measurement.
2.Take the transmitter off your chest for 10 seconds.
3.Put the transmitter back on and start the heart rate measurement again.
124
...the OwnZone limits based on heart rate variability (OZV) vary a lot?
Heart rate variability reacts sensitively to all changes taking place in your body and environment. The OZV heart rate limits are
affected by, amongst other things, your state of fitness, the time of day of the OwnZone determination, the type of exercise and
your state of mind. The lower limit of the OZV can vary for the same person by as much as 30 beats. However it is important that
the exercise carried out in the OwnZone feels light or moderate. For example, if you raise your heart rate too rapidly after the first
stage, you may receive OwnZone heart rate limits that are too high. If the OwnZone limits seem to be too high, we recommend
that the OwnZone determination be repeated.
...I can rarely get the OwnZone determination working so that it would provide me with heart rate limits that are based on
heart rate variability (OZV).
1.Check that the elastic strap is snug enough.
2.Make sure that the electrodes of the transmitter are moistened against your skin.
3.Put on the transmitter 15–20 minutes prior to the start of your exercise to ensure good adaptation between the electrodes
and your skin.
4.If you get OwnZone limits based on age (OZA) or the previously determined OwnZone limits based on your heart rate
variability (OZL) in less than one minute, you have not raised your heart rate sufficiently slowly. Raise your heart rate
more slowly during the OwnZone determination. The heart rate reading should not rise over 20 beats/minute from the
starting level. During the first stage you could put on your exercise clothing.
5.If you get OwnZone limits based on age (OZA) or the previously determined OwnZone limits based on your heart rate
variability (OZL) after five minutes, you have not raised your heart rate sufficiently rapidly. Raise your heart rate more
quickly during the OwnZone determination.
6.If you have always used walking and running to determine your OwnZone, walking uphill or cycling may work better for you.
7.Stress or anxiety may reduce your heart rate variability so that the required point where the heart rate variability vanishes
cannot be measured. Relax for 5–10 minutes before exercising by sitting down and decreasing your heart rate.
8.For a small percentage of people, the heart rate variability will not totally disappear with increasing workload. In this
case the age-predicted limits are the best estimate for the exercising zone.
