About GPS:

Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite- based navigation system made up of a
network of 24 or more satellites. GPS works best in clear weather condition, anywhere in the
world, 24 hours a day. Tall buildings may interfere with GPS accuracy. When 3 satellite
signals are received, the watch will have 2D GPS fixed (Latitude and Longitude). When 4 or
more satellite signals are received, the watch will have 3D GPS Fixed (Latitude, Longitude,
and Altitude).

Water immersion:

This GPS watch is designed to be water resistant up to 3 ATM. It can resist water pressure
up to 30 meters. After submersion to water, please make sure to wipe dry and air dry the unit
before using or charging.

Caution: This unit is not intended to be used while swimming. Prolonged water submersion
may cause electronic shorting in the unit which may cause minor skin burn or irritation.

Step 5) Using your Heart Rate monitor: (HRM belt is optional and is
sold separately)

The HRM belt is on standby and ready to send data to your watch. Wear the belt directly on
your skin just below your breastplate. It should be snug enough to stay in place during your
run.

5.1) Push one tab on the strap through the slot in the HRM transmitter.

5.2) Wet both electrodes with a damp cloth on the back of the HRM belt. This will help create

a strong electrical connection between your chest and the HRM transmitter.

5.3) Wrap around the chest belt around your rib cage just below the pectoral muscles and
attach the other end of the strap to the HRM transmitter. The elastic strap should be
adjusted so that it is snug enough so that it will not move during use but not so tight as to
restrict breathing.

5.4) Bring the GPS watch within range of the HRM transmitter (3 meters). The HRM belt will
automatically communicate with the watch. The watch will then display the heart rate
data and heart icon.

5.5) If the heart rate will not be displayed, or you have an erratic heart rate data, follow the
following tips :

5.5.1. Make sure the HR belt is snugly fit to your body

5.5.2. Reapply water, saliva, or electrode gel to the electrode of the HR belt

5.5.3. Clean the electrodes from possible contamination that may interfere with heart

rate signals

5.5.4. Wear a cotton shirt or if possible, wet your cotton shirt. Synthetic fabrics that

rubs with your skin may create static electricity and interfere with the heart rate
signal

5.5.5. Move away from strong electromagnetic fields and other wireless sensors which

can interfere with your heart rate sensor. Possible sources of wireless
interference may include high voltage power lines, electric motors, microwave
ovens, cordless phones, and wireless LAN or access points.

Note: Set your Heart rate zone in setting mode.
