3.1 Be outdoors
The W300 is not intended for operation indoors or under
water as it uses Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites to
get time and date information, and to calculate distance and
speed. For best results, always use the W300 outdoors with an
unobstructed view of the sky.
3.2 Fit the W300
The W300 is designed to be worn on the left upper arm. The
easiest way to fit the unit is to feed the strap through the
fastener to create a loose enclosure. Then slide your left arm
through the enclosure and tighten the strap after the unit is in a
comfortable position.
3.3 Startup
Press and hold
to turn the power on and enter setup, OR

Pace
The current pace value shows how long it would take to run
one distance unit (1 km or 1 mile) at your current speed. The
distance unit depends on the speed units currently being used.
For example, if you are using speed units ‘km/h’, then the
pace displayed is the time it would take you to run 1 km if you
maintained your current speed.
Session
A session includes all time that the Sport.Tool has been actively
operating since first start-up, or since the session data was last
cleared. Clearing the session data removes all stored data from
the previous session except the odometer value, which must be
cleared separately.
