IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER!

• Adjust the strap length snug enough and wet the Polar

transmitter electrodes to ensure flawless heart rate

measurement.

• Do not bend or stretch the transmitter.

• Do not operate the buttons of the wrist receiver under

water.

• Wash and dry your transmitter regularly after use; never

store it wet.

• Keep the Polar Heart Rate Monitor out of extreme cold

and heat.

• Do not expose the Polar Heart Rate Monitor to direct

sunlight for extended periods.

• Do not store the transmitter in a metal box without an

inner part which protects the transmitter contacting

metal. Direct contact will discharge the transmitter

battery.

Congratulations on purchasing the Polar M71 ti Heart

Rate Monitor. We are proud to assist you in achieving

your personal fitness goals.

This guide will provide you with the basic information

on how to exercise with your Polar Heart Rate Monitor

and how to get the maximum benefit from its functions.

Thank you

for choosing Polar.

HOW POLAR

M71 ti WORKS

GETTING GOING

1. Attach the transmitter to

the elastic strap.

2. Adjust the strap length to fit

snugly and comfortably.

Secure the strap around your

chest, below the chest

muscles. Lock the buckle.

3. Lift the transmitter off your

chest and wet the grooved

electrode areas on the back of it.

4. Check that the wet electrode

areas are firmly against your

skin and the Polar logo is in

a central upright position.

5. Wear the wrist receiver as you

would wear an ordinary watch.

If you go biking, you may attach

the wrist receiver to a Polar

Bike Mount. Keep the wrist

receiver within the transmission

range (1 metre /3 feet).

It is recommended that you wear the transmitter

against your bare skin to ensure flawless operation.

However, if you wish to wear the transmitter over a

shirt, moisten the shirt well under the electrodes.

It is important that the electrodes are wet during

exercise. After exercising, to preserve the electrodes

and battery life:

1. Wash the transmitter carefully with a mild soap

water solution.

2. Rinse it with pure water.

3. Dry the transmitter carefully.

POLAR M71 ti PARTS

Your Polar M71 ti consists of three parts:

1. Polar T61™ Transmitter

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) =
