NAVMAN S300 - Getting started
3.1 Be outdoors
The S300 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 S300 outdoors with an
unobstructed view of the sky.
3.2 Fit the S300
The S300 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
Flashing = seeking GPS data
Constant = GPS data obtained
3.0 Getting started

To enter setup after starting normal operation, you will
need to shut down and re-start the unit.
