Your weight and sex must be determined before the OwnCal feature can be used. Polar M71 ti prompts USER? if necessary user information is missing.
Polar M71 ti calculates your energy expenditure based on gender, body weight and heart rate. If you exercise with your OwnZone, the calorie calculation starts when your heart rate is above the determined lower limit. This determined limit is lower OwnZone heart rate limit minus 5 heart beats. If you have chosen to exercise with your manually defined Target Zone limits, the OwnCal calorie counter starts from the heart rate value of 100 bpm.
The higher the heart rate, the faster the energy expenditure accumulation. Energy expenditure depends on body weight; the heavier the weight the higher the energy expenditure.
Polar M71 ti shows the energy expenditure of your latest exercise session as well as the cumulative total energy
expenditure value in kilocalories (kcal). 
Recalling training information. 1 kilocalorie (kcal or Calorie) = 1000 calories (cal).
