Polar M71ti Heart Rate Monitor User Manual


 
39
Polar M71 ti calculates the OwnCal energy expenditure
based on the gender, weight, exercise time and heart
rate. Therefore the weight and gender must be reset.
Changing the user also affects the calculation of the
total calorie expenditure (T.KCAL). If the T.KCAL reading
is not zeroed when the user changes, the Polar M71 ti
adds the calorie expenditure of new exercise periods into
its memory, even although the user information is
changed. If you want that only your own energy
expenditure is stored in the Polar M71 ti’s memory you
must set the calorie calculator off in the USER mode
when the equipment is used by someone else.
