9. Calibration (for cross country skiing
and iceskating only)
The speedometer may require a simple
calibration to programm the unit to your
individual style.
9a. The Personal Multiplier PM
The preset value for the personal multi-
plier PM is 100. You can leave this value
unchanged when the results of your
Speedometer are accurate enough to
satisfy your needs. If not you can im-
prove the accuracy by calculating your
personal multiplier.
The value of the personal multiplier
calculates from the following formula:
(real distance) divided by (displayed
distance) multiplied by 100.
If the displayed distance is longer than
the real distance the personal multiplier
will be lower than 100, if the real dis-
tance is shorter than the displayed dis-
tance PM will be higher than 100.
The following table gives you the correct
setting of the personal mulitplier PM for
reference distances of 400m an 1km.

10. Changing the Batteries
ATTENTION! Batteries consist of dan-
gerous, poisonous materials. They
should never be swallowed or played
with by children! Also batteries should
never be thrown away carelessly be-
cause of the damage to the environ-
ment. Your community offers battery
collections for proper disposal.
10a. Changing the display battery
a. Remove the display from the brace-
let, carabiner or lanyard.
b. Remove the back cover from the
watch. There is a notch at the top.
Insert a fingernail or small screw-
driver into the notch to lift the cover
off. Take care, do not damage the
circuit board or the wire antenna in-
side.
c. Remove the two battery retaining
screws. Take extra care; do not lose
these as they must be re-installed.
d. Remove the old battery and replace
it with a new one. Fit it inside the
metal holder and set it back on the
circuit board.
e. Place the small screws in the holes
and then tighten with the screw-
driver. Do not over tighten.
f. Replace the back cover and align the
two notches. (The one on the back
cover with the one on the watch
case) Make sure that the rubber
gasket on the back cover has not
come lose.
Note: If the "beep" does not work after
you finished, the back cover was not
properly replaced. Check the alignment
and adjust as necessary. There is a
small notch in the battery cover, this
should be at the twelve o’clock position
and aligned with the notch on the watch
case.
In some cases you can see all segments
on after replaciong the battery meaning
that you have accidentialy activated the
test mode. Simply take out the battery
one more time and try again until the
watch shows the normal functions.
10b. Changing of the speed modul
battery
a. Remove the back cap of the speed-
module with an appropiate coin.
b. Gently tap the module against the
palm of your hand to pop the battery
out of the module.
c. Replace the AAA battery with the +
side faceing to the outside.
11. Troubleshooting
This section deals with the most com-
mon problems reported so far.
Problem: Nothing appears on the
display.
Solution: Press MODE, if the display
remains blank replace battery of watch
and press MODE again.
Problem: Display readings fade out.
Solution: Battery of watch are running
out and have to be replaced.
Problem: Slow display response.
Solution: The current temperature is
higher or lower than the operating tem-
perature of the speedometer (0 °C to 55
°C/ 32 °F to 131 °F).
Problem: Black display.
Solution: Temperature is too high,
perhaps the display has been exposed
to direct sunlight for too long.
Problem: The displayed actual speed
seems not to be realistic.
Solution A. The transmission may have
been interrupted for a short time. Such
an interruption has no significance for
the accuracy of the measurement of the
distance, as long as the interruption is
not for longer than 1 kilometre or 0.6
miles.
Solution B. The running coefficient was
not adjusted correctly and your running
results show a systematically error.
Please read chapter 9a. and calculate
your personal running coefficient. Don't
forget to program it into the display after
calculating!
Problem: The communication be-
tween the chest belt and display
does not work.
Solution The battery is weak so the
distance between chest belt and display
is to long. You can check by bringing
chest belt and display close together
and check again. If the signal is ok then
you need to replace the batteries.
