The total calorie expenditure is the only function in the Polar M71 ti which memorises information for more than one exercise session. You will have a count for the cumulative calorie expenditure during several exercise sessions. This function allows you to follow the calorie expenditure as a gauge of effective exercise e.g. during one week.

To reset the total calorie expenditure count to zero:

1.Start with the display showing T.KCAL.

2.Press and hold SET/START/STOP for a couple of seconds.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your Polar Heart Rate Monitor is a high-tech instrument of superior design and workmanship and should be treated with care. The suggestions below will help you fulfill the warranty obligations and enjoy this product for many years to come.

T A K I N G C A R E O F Y O U R P O L A R H E A R T R A T E M O N I T O R

•Wash the transmitter regularly after use with a mild soap and water solution. Dry it carefully after washing.

•Never store the Polar transmitter wet. Sweat and moisture can keep its electrodes wet and the transmitter activated, which shortens the battery life.

•Store your Polar Heart Rate Monitor 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.

•Don’t dry the transmitter in any other way than with a towel. Hard-handed handling may damage the electrodes.

•Keep your Polar Heart Rate Monitor out of extreme cold (below -10 ºC/14 ºF and heat (above 50 ºC/122 ºF).

•Do not expose the Polar Heart Rate Monitor to direct sunlight for extended periods, such as by leaving it in a car.
