MEASUREMENT

1.Wear the Polar transmitter and the wrist receiver as described in the chapter Getting going.

2.To make sure that the code search will be successful:

Keep the wrist receiver within 1 metre / 3 feet of your transmitter

Check that you are not near to other people with heart rate monitors, high voltage power lines, televisions, mobile phones, cars, exercise equipment etc.

3.Begin with display showing Time of day.

4.Press MODE to enter the MEASURE mode.

A heart shaped frame appears. The wrist receiver starts searching for coded transmission for max. 15 seconds.

Heart rate measurement commences and the heart symbol inside the frame starts flashing.

Your heart rate reading (in beats per minute) appears in the display.

If the code search was not successful, the frame around the heart symbol will disappear after 15 seconds. Go back to step 2 to repeat the code search.

If you still do not succeed in code searching, but your heart rate is displayed and the heart symbol without a frame is flashing, you can start exercising but your wrist receiver may become disturbed by other heart rate monitors.

Determining your OwnZone begins if you have set the option ON.

6.You can now start your warmup with your Polar M71 ti.

DETERMINE YOUR OWNZONE

Polar M71 ti is able to determine the individual training heart rate zone for you. This exercise zone is called your OwnZone (O.Z.).

For most adults, OwnZone corresponds to 65-85 % of the maximum heart rate. OwnZone is suitable for cardiovascular training either for health-related or fitness improvement purposes.

OwnZone works well for those whose goal is weight control via physical activity and exercise, because the OwnZone intensity corresponds to intensity from “light to moderate” to “moderate”. Exercise of this intensity level can be conducted even for extended periods safely and often and yields the best results for weight loss.

The OwnZone can be found during a warmup period of an exercise session lasting 2-10 minutes.
