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.
k Worn on chest belt
It measures the heart rate, speed and distance.
k 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.

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.
