Mode Transceiver ON/OFF Start/Stop Scroll Up Split/Reset/Set Speed and Distance Display Status Indicator Operating the Speed and Distance Transceiver Inserting the Batteries The Speed and Distance Monitor operates on three AAA batteries (included). To insert the batteries, open the caseback by lifting and turning the latch ring a quarter (1/4) turn counterclockwise. Lift the caseback off. Follow the markings inside the battery compartment to ensure the new batteries are properly aligned. Wearing the Speed and Distance Transceiver • For best results, the Transceiver needs a clear view of the sky. • The Transceiver can be worn on the upper arm or clipped to your waist. The upper arm will provide the best results. • The Watch should be worn so it is always within 1 meter (about 3 feet) of the Transceiver. • Clothing can be worn over the Transceiver as long as the clothing is dry and without metal. To wear the Transceiver on your upper arm: Loosen adjustable armband and wrap the unit around your upper arm. Pull armband so that it fits snugly around your arm and fasten using hook and loop closure. NOTE: if the armband is not attached to the unit, rethread with the caseback removed from the unit as shown below, making sure the smooth side faces out (hook and loop closure faces caseback). 2. 3. 1. 4. To wear the Transceiver clipped to your belt: Open caseback by lifting and turning latch ring a quarter (1/4) turn counterclockwise. Lift the caseback off. Remove armband from back of Transceiver. Attach beltclip to caseback by fitting tabs in bottom part of two-part clip unit into vertical slots on either side of caseback as shown below (A). Be sure that both parts of clip unit are properly fitted together as shown below (B), before attaching unit to caseback. Replace caseback. NOTE: You may attach the clip so that it is oriented vertically or horizontally by rotating the clip portion of the two-part clip unit appropriately as shown below. Using the Speed and Distance System The GPS system acquires information from satellites in orbit around the earth to determine your speed and distance traveled. For the unit to work properly, you must be outdoors in an area with a clear view of the sky. While outdoors in an open area, press and hold the TRANSCEIVER ON/OFF button to turn on the receiver. The Status Indicator light on the Transceiver will flash red. When it has successfully acquired signals from the satellites, the Status Indicator light will flash green. If the watch displays SEARCHING for too long, try moving to a more open outdoor area, move away from metal objects, or try new batteries. Search Time: On first use, the Transceiver will take up to 5 minutes to establish a link with the satellites. After that, the unit needs only 15-45 seconds. If you move hundreds of miles from the location where you last used the Transceiver, the search will last longer. Turning on the Transceiver before going outdoors will cause acquisition to take longer. A. To turn off the Transceiver, press and hold the TRANSCEIVER ON/OFF button for one second. B. 10 11 Displaying Data Press the SPEED/DISTANCE DISPLAY button while standing 6 feet from other users of this system to begin displaying data. The watch will display speed data on the top line as well as a wave symbol in the upper left part of the watch display. If the Transceiver is still searching for satellites, the watch shows SEARCHING. Once the search is complete you can use the Speed and Distance features of the watch. System Messages The Timex® Speed and Distance System is a sophisticated system. During operation messages on the watch will help you maximize the system’s performance. SEARCHING – The GPS Transceiver has just been turned on and is searching the sky trying to acquire signals from enough satellites to function accurately. If the watch displays SEARCHING for too long, try moving to a more open outdoor area, move away from metal objects, or try new batteries. WEAK GPS SIGNAL – The GPS Transceiver is losing its signals from the satellites. Move to an area that is more open and free of metal objects. If the signal is weak or totally lost for short periods of time, the system has technique to maintain reliable speed and distance information. To conserve battery power, the Transceiver will shut off if it does not detect any movement or cannot acquire satellites after 15 minutes. In Time, Chronograph, Timer, and Monitor modes, press SPEED/ DISTANCE DISPLAY button repetitively to view information in this order: SPEED (current), AVERAGE SPEED, MAXIMUM SPEED, PACE, AVERAGE PACE, BEST PACE, DISTANCE. Information in each mode is accumulated independently. You can manually turn off Speed and Distance data by holding down the SPEED/DISTANCE DISPLAY button for 2 seconds. RADIO LINK BROKEN – The watch is no longer receiving any speed and distance data from the Transceiver over the radio link. Check to make sure that the Transceiver is powered up and that the watch is not more than 1 meter (about 3 feet) away from it. RADIO LINK NOISY – The watch is having difficulty receiving speed and distance data. Make sure the watch is within 1 meter of the Transceiver. Move away from sources of electrical interference like power lines, motors, exercise equipment, etc. Change the orientation of the Transceiver from vertical to horizontal or vise versa. FATAL GPS ERROR – The GPS Transceiver is damaged. Contact Timex customer service. 12 13 Operating the Speed & Distance Watch Push MODE to scroll through the following modes in this order: Time of Day • Chronograph • Chronograph Recall • Countdown Timer • Speed and Distance Monitor • Odometer • Alarm • Options Automatic Time Correction and Setting: If the watch is receiving GPS data from the transmitter, the system automatically corrects the time and sets the date based on the highly accurate time used by the GPS satellites. • If you have never set the time on the watch, the system will set the watch to UTC (Greenwich Mean Time). • If you have set the time before first using the Transceiver, it will change your time to UTC time. You may then need to adjust for your time zone. • If you have adjusted the time since using the Transceiver, the system will maintain your adjustment and only correct itself for time it has drifted since you last used the Transceiver.
