Watch terminology

The following terms appear throughout this manual. Knowing these terms will provide you a greater understanding of the information provided.

Bodylink® System: The Bodylink System allows you to track realtime data by using Fitness Sensors in conjunction with your Performance Watch.

Fitness Sensors: The Bodylink System includes two digital sensors: the Heart Rate Sensor and the Speed + Distance Sensor.

Performance Watch

: The Performance Watch, (Watch) houses the

data center for the Bodylink System. Speed + Distance Sensor: The Speed + Distance Sensor (GPS-

3D Sensor) tracks speed, pace, distance traveled, altitude, location, and more, using GPS based technology. The Fitness Sensor User Guide provides detailed instructions for setting up and using your GPS-3D Sensor.

GPS: The GPS-3D Sensor uses information gathered from global

positioning satellites (GPS) to calculate your speed, distance, and elevation, and to track your movements.

Heart Rate Sensor: The Heart Rate Sensor (HR Sensor) measures your heart rate. The Fitness Sensor User Guide provides detailed information for setting up and using your HR Sensor.

The chronograph

As you use this manual to learn about your Watch, the word chronograph can potentially cause some confusion. Try to remember this: a chronograph is a tool for measuring time. So, you will notice a Chronograph Mode, but Vertical and Finish Modes also operate from the chronograph. Any time your Watch functions as a timing tool, it operates using chronograph (or timing) functionality.

Starting the Bodylink® System

When using the Performance Monitor, you can view real-time data from a Heart Rate Sensor or Speed + Distance Sensor, or both, in Time of Day, Chrono and Timer. The procedure to do this is the same in all modes, though the data that you can view and their position on the display in each mode will vary.

1. Make sure you’re wearing your Heart Rate Sensor or Speed + Distance Sensor, or both, and that they are powered up and functional.

2. Stand at least 6 feet (2 meters) away from any other users of fitness monitor systems and from any source of radio interference such as electrical equipment, power lines, etc.

3. Press and release the DISPLAY button. This tells the watch to look for any Bodylink®sensors nearby; it will search for one

minute. The antenna icon will appear on the watch display, indicating that the Bodylink®system is active.

NOTE: Though the Bodylink®system has a working range of about 3 feet (1 meter) from the sensors to the watch, for the most reliable operation, make sure that the watch is as close to the sensors as possible when starting the system up.

4. When the watch has successfully detected transmissions from the sensors, the watch display will switch to a new format showing some or all of the sensor data, depending on the mode. Time of Day and Timer show the data in the lower line exclusively, while Chrono allows up to three lines of performance data.

Viewing Performance Data

Press and release the DISPLAY button to select the data or combination of data that you wish to view during your workout. For your convenience, a “banner” showing the names of the information and their position on the display is shown briefly before showing the data itself.

Here are a few more things you should know to use the watch effectively:

• While in the Chrono, press and release SET/FORMAT to swap the positions of the information in the upper and middle display lines. This allows you to view the data most important in the larger middle display line.

NOTE: As a convenience, Chrono and Timer will automatically search for Bodylink®sensors for fifteen seconds upon entering

the mode.

• If you want to stop monitoring data from your Bodylink®sensors, hold the DISPLAY button down until the message HOLD TO SHUT OFF RCVR is displayed on the watch display. Continue holding the DISPLAY button for a few more seconds; the watch will beep indicating that the radio link between the watch and the sensors has been shut down.

TIP: If you are already viewing data from one sensor, for example, the Heart Rate Sensor, and you wish to also view data from the Speed + Distance Sensor, simply press and hold the DISPLAY button until the watch emits a short beep and the antenna icon begins flashing. The watch is now searching for a second

Bodylink®sensor. When it detects this second device, the antenna icon will stop flashing and the display may change to a new format that includes the new information. Press and release the DISPLAY button (as detailed previously) to view various combinations of two sensor’s data.

Watch messages

When using the Watch with the Fitness Sensors, the Watch may display messages to communicate the status of the Sensor in conjunction with the Watch. Messages include:

SEARCHING The GPS-3D Sensor is still trying to link to GPS data. You cannot view speed, pace, distance, or positional information until the Sensor locates GPS satellites.

WEAK GPS SIGNAL The GPS-3D Sensor lost its link with GPS satellites. The GPS-3D Sensor operates more accurately in more open areas (such as an area without a lot of tree or cloud cover) and at quicker speeds.

NO DATA FROM HRM (GPS)

from the HR or the GPS-3D Sensor. Ensure that the Sensor is not more than 3 feet (1 meter) away from the Watch, is operating, or has not inadvertently locked onto someone else’s Sensor. The Watch will attempt to establish a connection for one minute after this message displays.

NOISY DATA FROM HRM (GPS)

radio interference. Try to move away from any potential sources of interference (for example, televisions, monitors, or motorized devices). The Watch will attempt to establish a connection for 30 seconds after this message displays.

Finish lets you predict a time for a specified distance and set alerts if you are off pace.

Navigate recognizes positional, compass-type information for your location.

Waypoints support up to ten reference points as you travel from one location to another and uses these reference points to help you travel back to your beginning location.

Lap Data presents stored lap information.

Summary displays data recorded while the chronograph runs.

Timer enables you to time an event that counts down from a specific time to zero.

Alarm manages up to five alarms.

Configure permits you to customize Watch functions to meet your needs.

Using the Watch

To access all features and functionality of your Watch, you must use it in conjunction with the Fitness Sensors. However, your Watch does offer some flexibility of use. For example:

You can use your Watch without either of the Fitness Sensors to view time Time of Day Mode, as an alarm in Alarm Mode, or to time a workout in any of the chronograph modes.

You can use your Watch with only the HR Sensor in any of the chronograph modes to track heart rate and time information.

You can use your Watch with the GPS-3D Sensor in any of the navigational modes to track distance information. Or, you can use this Sensor in any of the chronograph modes to track distance information.

TO SET TIME OF DAY

For instructions on setting Watch functions, including Time of Day, refer to page 13, “To set Watch functions.”

For Time of Day, you can set the following values:

NOTE: You cannot adjust seconds. When you use the Watch with

the GPS-3D Sensor, it will align with UTC. When switching between Standard Time and Daylight

Savings Time, manually adjust the hour. You can set the Watch slightly ahead or behind current

time. For example, if you typically arrive ten minutes late, set the Watch ten minutes ahead. The Watch remains ahead of time even when you synchronize it with the GPS-3D Sensor.

Time of Day Mode

Time of Day Mode terminology

UTC: Universal Time, Coordinated (formerly known as GMT) describes the local time zone in relationship to the Greenwich Meridian. For example, New York City is in the -5 UTC zone, since New York is five hours earlier than Greenwich Meridian; Moscow is +3 UTC, since it is three hours later than Greenwich Meridian.

Time of Day Mode functions

Your Watch can act as an ordinary watch to display the time, date, and day for two different time zones, using a 12- or 24-hour format.

TO SWITCH TIME ZONES

The Watch can track two time zones (T1 and T2). Look at the other zone by pressing START/SPLIT

. Or, switch from T1 to T2

using these steps:

1. Press and hold START/SPLIT until HOLD FOR TIME 2

displays.

2. Continue to hold until the time switches and the Watch beeps.

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to switch back to T1. The message will

read HOLD FOR TIME 1.

You must independently set the time of day for each time zone.

TO SYNCHRONIZE TIME OF DAY WITH FITNESS SENSORS

When you first activate the GPS-3D Sensor in conjunction with your Watch, you can expect one of the following scenarios:

If you activate the GPS-3D Sensor before setting the time of day, the Watch will synchronize both T1 and T2 with UTC. You will need to adjust the hour for both time zones to your local time.

If you activate the GPS-3D Sensor after setting the time of day, the Watch maintains the hour and date settings and synchronizes minutes and seconds to UTC for each time zone.

After initial use, the Watch will automatically correct any time inaccuracy upon activation of the GPS-3D Sensor and every 15 minutes thereafter.

TO VIEW PERFORMANCE DATA IN TIME OF DAY MODE

When using Fitness Sensors with your Watch, scroll through performance data by pressing and releasing DISPLAY.
