24 HOW TO DETERMINE YOUR OWNZONE OwnZone is easiest determined by walking and jogging as instructed below . However , you are able to find your OwnZone with other exercise modes as well, e.g. exercising with a stationary bike. The principle is that you start exercising very slowly with light intensity and gradually increase your heart rate.
25 your exercising limits and you can continue your exercising. The determined heart rate limits are displayed for a few seconds. Y ou can recall the limits onto the display by bringing the watch close to the transmitter . If needed you can reset the stopwatch to zero and restart OwnZone determination: 1.
26 OWNZONE METHODS Polar M71 ti uses multiple methods for determining your safe OwnZone. The primary method is to measure and analyze the heart rate variability and thereby determine the most individual and current parameters.
27 HOW TO USE PREVIOUSL Y DETERMINED OWNZONE Every time you start the stopwatch and have the OwnZone option on, Polar M71 ti starts finding your OwnZone.
28 SEE YOUR HEAR T RA TE Y ou can see your hear t rate in beats per minute. A flashing heart symbol indicates an ongoing heart rate measurement. The heart symbol flashes at the pace of your heart. ILLUMINA TE THE DISPLA Y Press /LIGHT . Backlight is activated for a few seconds.

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 af fects the calculation of the total calorie expenditure (T .KCAL).
40 ... HEART RA TE READING BECOMES ERRA TIC OR EXTREMEL Y HIGH? Y ou may have come within range of strong electromagnetic signals which cause erratic readings on the wrist receiver display . Check your surroundings and move further away from the source of disturbance.
