1.5 Changing the battery
Always shut down the R300 before changing the battery.
Note: All system settings, and the calculated data that was stored
at the last controlled shutdown*, are retained when the battery is
removed. This information persists indefinitely until updated or reset.
If battery power becomes low during operation the battery icon
is displayed.
For best performance:
General use = Alkaline
Below 5 oC = NiMH
!
constant = low power
flashing = approx. 5 min before automatic shutdown**
* Press and hold to perform a controlled shutdown.
** When battery power becomes too low to continue operation,
a controlled shutdown is automatically executed (current data
is saved).

3.1 Be outdoors
The R300 is not intended for operation indoors or under water
as it uses Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites to get
time and date information, and to calculate distance and
speed. For best results, always use the R300 outdoors with an
unobstructed view of the sky.
3.2 Fit the R300
The R300 is designed to be worn on the left upper arm. The
easiest way to fit the unit is to feed the strap through the
fastener to create a loose enclosure. Then slide your left arm
through the enclosure and tighten the strap after the unit is in a
comfortable position.
3.3 Startup
Press and hold to turn the power on and enter setup, OR
press to turn the power on and start normal operation.
First start may take up to 80 seconds to get all the satellite data
