Wearing the Device for Swimming

The Hydro Tracker™ has unique clips that attach the device to the back of the head while swimming in open water.

1) You do not need to remove the strap from your goggles. Instead you can simply thread the side of the goggle strap through the opening slot of each clip.

2) Thread the goggle strap through one clip at a time. Be sure to push the strap around the bend so it notches securely.

3) Put on your goggles like normal and position the Hydro Tracker™ so it rests comfortably on the back of the head.

4) When you have achieved a green satellite signal, press the [PAUSE/RECORD] button and start swimming!

Note: The armband should NOT be used when swimming. The optimal GPS signal is acquired from the back of the head while swimming.

Wearing the Device with the Armband

A comfortable neoprene armband is included. The Hydro Tracker can be attached to the armband for non-swimming activities such as running, biking, kayaking, and skiing.

1) Locate the small plastic security clips that protrude from the armband.

2) Slide the side clips of the Hydro Tracker™ onto these security clips. Go one clip at a time and be sure to push the Hydro Tracker™ down on each clip so it snaps securely into place.

4) Fasten above the elbow and make sure the Hydro Tracker™ is facing up and out.
