Sport Zones (Step 3)
The third step asks to specify your team's sport zones. Sport zones specify how training is
divided into different intensity zones. You can either use the default settings or modify the sport
zones to fit the team's training.
Sport zones can be based on one of three different calculation methods. Wizard offers two of
them to choose from, the player's maximum heart rate
values. A third option is the player's heart rate reserve (% of HRR) which can be taken into use,
in preferences, after Wizard is completed.
1. Select the calculation method that you want the sport zones to be based on.
2. The sport zone settings can be changed after the calculation method is selected. Settings
are given on the right side of Wizard window.
Continue to the next step by clicking Next.
(% of HRmax) and the player's threshold
Player's maximum heart rate (% of HRmax)
When the player's maximum heart rate is selected as the sport zone calculation method, sport
zones which the user can determine are specified as a percentage of a player's maximum heart
rate. As the zones are based on percentages of a player's own maximum heart rate, they are
individual for each player. The same percentages are, however, used for the whole team.
Player's threshold values
When the player's threshold values are selected as the sport zone calculation method, the sport
zones are based on the players' threshold values which are determined in the player settings.
Each player has an upper threshold (anaerobic) and a lower threshold (aerobic) value. The
9
Team2 SW Help
coach/trainer can determine how many heart beats the upper threshold zone and the lower
threshold zone differ from the players' upper and lower threshold values. The variances are the
same for the whole team. The threshold values enable the most individual training analysis.
NOTE:
• Default settings can be restored by clicking the Restore default setting link on the
bottom of the window.
• More sport zones can be added by clicking the Add sport zone link on the bottom of the
window.
Activities (Step 4)
The fourth step asks to define the training activities of your team. You can choose a different
color for every activity. This helps you to visualize your team's training calendar.
There are three different types for activities; intermittent, continuous and strength. The type
indicates how exhausting the training activity is. The type you select affects the training load and
recovery time calculations. Select the types carefully and the calculations will be more accurate.
Training activity examples:
Continuous Intermittent Strength
Swimming Football Gym
Walking Ice hockey BodyPump
Skiing Up/Downhill running
Roller-skating Rugby
Running Alpine skiing
1. Fill in your team's training activities and select their types from the drop-down menu.

monitored in both modes with a Polar wrist unit.
Online mode is used when training is monitored online using the base station. At that time, the
transmitter transfers heart rate data to the PC via the base station in addition to recording it. In
Online mode the battery lasts up to 30 hours.
Off-season mode can be used when training is not monitored online, e.g., during independent
training season. At the time, in order to save battery, the transmitter is not trying to send data to
PC but only records it. In this mode the battery can last up to 250 hours. Data can be transferred
to the PC afterwards.
The mode can be changed in two places:
• Team properties: Options > Team properties > Players tab > Transmitter tab
• Polar Team

Bluetooth USB Adapter (USB Dongle)
The USB dongle is plugged into the PC's USB port, and it can replace the base station when data
is transferred (transmitter settings, memory contents) between the transmitters and the PC. Data
can be transferred between the transmitters and PC via the USB dongle when the transmitters
are inserted into the charger. Online monitoring cannot be performed via the USB dongle.
The USB dongle has to be introduced to the system during wizard

turned on in the Windows settings.
Non-secured transmitter mode
Transmitters can be either in secured or non-secured mode. Basically these modes mean that:
• in secured mode the transmitter is hidden from Bluetooth devices that do not know it
exists, and
• in non-secured mode the transmitter is visible for all Bluetooth devices.
How to recognize:
The transmitter is in secured mode if only one short sound is heard when it is inserted into the
charger. The transmitter is in non-secured mode if three short sounds are heard when the
transmitter is inserted into the charger. See Lights and sounds
.
How to change:
By default, when a transmitter is inserted into the charger
it goes into secured mode. Change the
transmitter's mode to non-secured by removing the transmitter from the charger and inserting it
back within 3 seconds while the charger is powered on. If you have several transmitters that you
want to put into non-secured mode, the easier way is to insert all the transmitters into the charger
and then un-plug and re-plug the power cord within 3 seconds.

Team2 SW Help
Normally the transmitters are always in secured mode. The non-secured mode is used only when:
• the base station combination has been changed and the transmitters must be
synchronized with the new combination, or
• the transmitter has been previously paired with a base station and is now paired with
another.
