THE CORRECT USE OF THE CAT EYE MSC-2Dx

Warning !!!

• Pace maker users should never use this device.

• This device should never be used in commercial aircraft.

• When using the MSC-2Dx, do not give excess attention to the monitor or the data. Pay attention to the road, traffic and your surroundings!

• Keep the device away from children. If children use this device, they should have adult supervision.

• Dispose of used batteries properly. Keep batteries out of the reach of children. In case the battery is swallowed by accident, consult a doctor immediately.

NOTE !:

• The following places generate strong electromagnetic wave and interference, which cause incorrect measurement:

1. Places near TV, PC, radios, motors/engines, or in cars and trains.

2. Railroad crossings and near railway tracks, around television transmitting stations and

radar bases.

• Do not use the chest belt if it causes a rash or other skin irritations.

• Avoid dropping or severely jarring the main unit or chest strap.

• When the chest belt becomes soiled with sweat, clean it with mild soap and water.

• Do not bend, twist or pull forcibly the electrode area of the chest belt.

• Try to avoid using the main unit within a 1.5m radius of other transmitters. Do not use other wireless devices simultaneously. It may result in improper measurements.

• Avoid exposing the main unit to direct sun light for extended periods of time when not in use.

• Do not disassemble the main unit. We recommend taking the main unit to a professional jeweler for battery replacement and proper resealing.

• Periodically check the positions and mounting condition of the magnet and the speed sensor.

• Never apply chemicals (thinner or benzene) to the unit.

• Static electricity could cause a function error, resulting in abnormal display of the data. In such a case, reset the main unit.

After pushing AC button, reset the clock time.

• If the AC button is pressed while holding SET/AT button, the MSC-2Dx returns to the default state and all data is erased. Some users might want to perform this function at the beginning of a training season to record yearly training mileage in the Odometer. Do not perform this ALL CLEAR under normal condition.

FUNCTIONS

Upper Display

Middle Display

Lower Display

Either Current Speed or Clock Time can be selected on the upper display. (See page 7)

Current Speed

The speed icon flashes. The data is updated once a second. Range: 0.0 (3.0) ~ 65.9 mph [0.0 (4.0) ~ 105.9 km/h]

Clock Time

The clock icon flashes. Time is displayed in 24 hour or 12 hour.

Reference:

When the speed scale is "km/h", the clock time is always displayed in a 24-hour clock. When the "mph", the clock time is always displayed in a 12-hour clock.

Heart Rate

When the chest belt heart rate sensor is attached to the body, the heart rate icon flashes and the Heart Rate is displayed in real time.

Display Range: 0~299 bpm

Select the desired function with MODE button on the lower display. Refer to page 6, "Mode Button" for navigation to each function.

Tm Elapsed Time (Timer)

The time lapse from the start to the present time is shown in hours, minutes and seconds. The elapsed time data returns to zero with the reset option.

Range: 0.00.00~9.59.59

MxP Maximum Heart Rate

The maximum heart rate from the start to the present time is displayed. This is the sub function of Elapsed Time. The Max Heart Rate data returns to zero when the MSC is reset.

Range: 0 ~ 299 bpm

Clock Time

Current time is displayed in 24 hour or 12 hour time. The Clock can be moved to the upper display. (Current Speed would then appear in the lower display.) (See page 7)

Range: LP-00 ~ LP-50

AvS Average Speed

The average speed from the start to the present time is displayed. The Average Speed data returns to zero when the MSC is reset. When the elapsed time exceeds 27:46'39", or the trip distance exceeds 999.99 mile[km], (.E) will appear on the display and calculation of average speed ceases indicating an Error.

Range: 0.0~65.9 mph [0.0~105.9 km/h]

MxS Maximum Speed

The maximum instantaneous speed is displayed. This is the sub function of Average Speed. The Max Speed data returns to zero when the MSC is reset.

Range: 0.0 (3.0) ~ 65.9 mph [0.0 (4.0) ~ 105.9 km/h]

Dst Trip Distance

The trip distance from the start to the present time is displayed. The distance data returns to zero when the MSC is reset.

Range: 0.00~999.99 mile [km]

Odo Total Distance

Range: 0.0 ~ 9,999.9/10,000 ~ 99,999 mile [km]

PTm Time in Pulse Zone (Time in Training Zone) Readout Screen

In the readout screen, the time spent within the heart rate target zone is displayed. The upper and middle displays indicate the upper and the lower limit of the zone respectively,

and the lower display indicates the time spent in that heart rate zone.

MSC-2Dx

USING THE HEART RATE FUNCTION

Wireless Heart Rate Sensor

Main Unit

Chest Belt Heart Rate Sensor

The chest belt heart rate sensor is based on the electrocardiograph methodology used in hospitals. The MSC-2Dx uses this technology but in a simplified and miniaturized form. In this methodology, electrodes attached to the body sense the differences of electric potential and thus heart rate is measured. In the same manner, MSC-2Dx's chest belt sensor uses two built-in electrodes that come into contact with the body to detect differences in electric potential. The signal is then transmitted to the main unit and heart rate is displayed.

Reference: Maximum transmitting distance: about 90 cm.

Before Wearing Chest Belt Heart Rate Sensor

Warning !!!

Pace maker users should never use this device.

NOTE !:

• Wear the chest belt heart rate sensor at the center of your chest and in contact with your skin.

• To increase measurement effectiveness, dampen the electrode area with water or electrocardiograph electrolyte cream.

• People with sensitive skin can wear the chest belt over a thin shirt with the electrode area damped with water.

• Hair on the chest may interfere with accurate measurements.

• Do not use this unit with other cordless devices (including CATEYE CC-CL200) or some lamps (including CATEYE Stadium Light). Interference might occur, resulting in incorrect measurement.
