❏ When the pressure is too weak or too strong

❏ When taking medicine to lower your blood pressure

❏ When you have arrhythmia

Try wearing the device on your other arm if there are frequent abnormalities in measuring, or the value displayed is unusually high when compared to normal measurements.

Specifying a GPS (GPS Positioning)

Measuring Function for the Device

This device receives a signal from the GPS, and measures distance and pace. To make sure measurements are performed accurately, try to use the device under the following conditions which allow for easy reception of GPS signals.

❏ Outside with no obstructions overhead

❏ Wear the device with the screen facing up

You cannot receive a signal from the GPS when indoors and in the following environments.

Locations where you cannot receive signals

Inside rooms or buildings, or underground

In tunnels Under water

Locations that are difficult to receive signals

Locations with electronic interference, such as constructions sites and heavy traffic

Near high-voltage wires or television towers, overhead electric wires for trains, and roads with skyscrapers

On water

GPS Positioning

When you change to the measurement screen, the device receives a signal from various satellites, and identifies a GPS to use for measurement.

Important:

While identifying a GPS, make sure you are outside with no obstructions overhead, and try to keep the device as still as possible.

Operation buttons

Go to a location outside with no obstructions overhead.

Perform GPS positioning.

Press C.

GPD positioning starts.

When GPS positioning is complete, the positioning complete screen flashes, and then the measurement screen is displayed.

Note:

It usually takes less than two minutes to complete GPS positioning.

If it takes more than two minutes and Failed is displayed, we recommend selecting Cancel, moving to a different location, and trying again.

When the measurement screen is displayed, you can start measuring. U “Measure” on page 37

Skipping GPS positioning

If you want to start measuring immediately, or if GPS positioning is taking too long, select Skip during GPS positioning and start measuring.

Indoor mode

This function allows you to measure without performing GPS positioning. Use this when GPS positioning cannot be performed because you are indoors and so on.

The route and so on is not recorded in indoor mode. Also, measurement items are limited in indoor mode. U “Measurable items” on page 35

Making Precise Measurements

In the following situations, complete GPS positioning, display the measurement screen, and then wait outside for at least 15 minutes with no obstructions overhead. This allows you to make precise measurements.

❏ When you use the device for the first time after purchase

❏ When the device has not been used for several months

You do not need to make these preparations from the second time.

Note:

The basic configuration of the GPS system is 24 satellites orbiting the Earth at an altitude of 20,000 km, with at least four satellites traveling in six different orbits. The GPS receiver acquires data from four satellites and calculates the latitude, longitude, altitude, and time. Measuring can start once positioning has been performed and this information has been received. Since you can receive more detailed GPS navigation data (satellite orbital information) after 15 minutes from this point, you can make more precise measurements.

However, errors may occur in distance measurements, even after waiting 15 minutes or more, due to atmospheric conditions and the usage environment.

Supports the Quasi-Zenith Satellite System

This device supports the Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS). The Quasi-Zenith Satellite System is a system of satellites that passes directly over Japan and sends positioning signals that are very similar to current GPS signals. This allows signals to be sent to wider areas of Japan that were previously trouble spots, such as mountainous regions, or areas with a high density of skyscrapers such as the center of Tokyo.

Educating Your Stride Sensor

About the Stride Sensor

This device contains a stride sensor that uses a stride algorithm to learn your pace from your actual speed and your body's vibration frequency. This allows the device to calculate distance and laps with high precision, as well as measure your pitch and stride even in locations that cannot receive signals from GPS satellites such as in a tunnel, and so on.

Educating the Stride Sensor

When using the device for the first time, run under the following conditions so that the stride sensor can learn your stride.

Location/Time

Run or walk in the following locations that allow GPS positioning.

❏ When outside with no obstructions overhead: Approximately 10 mins.

❏ When surrounded by tall buildings: approximately 30 mins.

Measure

Measure using the chronograph function. U “Measuring Time, Distance, and Speed (Chronograph Function)” on page 38

Note:

❏ You do not need to make these preparations from the second time. However, note that information on your stride is

initialized if the device is initialized. If this occurs, you need to educate the stride sensor again.

❏ When you mainly use the device for walking, from the Measure set. menu, set Activity Type to Walk.

U “Measure set.” on page 96

❏ The device's stride sensor is used for running and walking. This does not support bike mode. In bike mode, "-" is

displayed for the stride and pitch on the measurement display.

❏ Large measurement errors may occur if your stride differs significantly from this learning session.
