4 OVERVIEW
4.1 Activating the running computer
Before you can train with your new RC 14.11, you need to activate it. To do this, use the appropriate tool to set the battery compartment to ON.
Your RC 14.11 will automatically change to setting mode. Use the PULSE (-) and SPEED (+) buttons to scroll through the basic settings. Press the SET
button to confirm your entry. Set the basic settings such as the language, measuring unit, date and time. Press and hold the SET button to exit the
setting mode.
For further information, please see section 5 “Setting mode”.
4.2 Attaching the R3 transmitter
You can wear the R3 transmitter either on the chest belt or the HipClip.
Kk Worn on chest belt
It measures the heart rate, speed and distance.
Kk Worn on HipClip
It measures the speed and distance, but not the heart rate.
4.2.1 Attaching the chest belt
Press the R3 transmitter into the snaps of the chest belt.
Important: Detach the R3 transmitter from the belt after training in order to save the battery. The transmitter is always active if a current is flowing between the two contacts. This is the case when the chest belt is worn on the skin, or, for instance, if the chest strap and/or the R3 transmitter lies on a wet towel. When the LED flashes, the R3 transmitter is on.

4OVERVIEW
4.2.1Attaching the chest belt
Adjust the length of the belt.
Important: The belt should fit snug, but not too tight.
Place the belt below the chest muscle or breasts.
Important: The R3 transmitter faces forward.
Wet the surface of the laminated electrodes, which rest on the skin
Important: The heart rate measurement is only reliable if the laminated electrodes are moist.
4.2.2 Attaching the HipClip
Snap the R3 transmitter into the HipClip.
Important: Detach the R3 transmitter from the HipClip after training in order to save the battery. The transmitter becomes active when it is clipped on the HipClip or if current can flow between the contacts (press buttons). When the LED flashes, the R3 transmitter is on.
Note: The R3 transmitter can only be used in one direction.
Attach the HipClip to the center of your pants.
Important: Speed and distance are only measured correctly if you wear the HipClip on the front center.

4.5.3 Lap view
The RC 14.11 can be used for lap training.
The values for the individual laps or legs are saved in the running computer. You can view the values in the lap view after and during your training.
You can only activate the lap view from the
training mode. To do this, hold down the LAP button.
In lap view mode:
Use the LAP and START/STOP buttons to navigate and scroll through the previous laps. Press the PULSE (-) and SPEED (+) buttons to view the
heart rate and distance values for each lap.
While training, the running computer briefly shows you a summary of the last lap for each completed lap (briefly press the LAP button). This enables you to directly determine whether you are close to values you are striving to achieve (pace table, target time).
