3.1 Be outdoors
The W300 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 W300 outdoors with an
unobstructed view of the sky.
3.2 Fit the W300
The W300 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
