• User guide
• 1 x AA battery
1.2 Care and maintenance
Do not attempt to disassemble the X300; there are no user
serviceable components in this product.
The X300 is of robust design. However, care should be taken to
protect from shocks or extreme heat.
Clean using only a soft cloth with mild soap and warm water. Do
not use abrasive cleaning materials or products. We recommend
rinsing the X300 with fresh water after any exposure to salt
water.
CAUTION: Please ensure battery cover is in place during
cleaning.
Store the X300 away from direct sunlight or extreme heat
sources. (Remove battery before storing for an extended
period.)
1.3 Water resistance
The Navman X300 GPS Sport.Tool is water resistant.
1.4 Altitude measurement
Due to the nature of GPS, inaccurate altitude measurements
can sometimes be observed. Altitude readings should be
viewed as indicative measurements only.

1.5 Changing the battery
Always shut down the X300 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).

NAVMAN X300 - Getting started
3.1 Be outdoors
The X300 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 X300 outdoors with an
unobstructed view of the sky.
3.2 Fit the X300
The X300 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
!Always enter setup first if you wish to change settings.
To enter setup after starting normal operation, you will
need to shut down and re-start the unit.

3.3.2 Start normal operation
To start normal operation
Press to turn the power on and start normal operation.
When starting directly into normal operation, the X300 will start
in the mode it was in at last shutdown. (Speed mode is always
displayed first when starting normal operation after leaving
setup.) For details about normal operating modes see Section
5.0.
