tings like your age, weight and sex.
CHARGE THE BATTERY
The V650 has an internal, rechargeable battery. Use the USB cable included in the product set to charge your
V650 via the USB connector on your computer. You can also charge the battery via a wall outlet. When char-
ging via a wall outlet use a USB power adapter (not included in the product set). If you use an AC adapter,
make sure that the adapter is marked with "output 5Vdc 1A-2A max". Only use an AC adapter which is
adequately safety approved (marked with "LPS", "Limited Power Supply" or "UL listed").
1. Push down to open the cap.
2. Lift the cap and plug the micro USB connector into the USB port.
3. Plug the other end of the cable into your PC.
4. The charging animation appears on the display. Charging the battery fully takes up to five hours.
The operating time of the battery is approximately 10 hours. The operating time depends on many factors,
such as the temperature of the environment in which you use your V650, the features you select and use, and
battery aging. The operating time is significantly reduced in temperatures well below freezing.
Don't leave the battery fully discharged for a long period of time or keep it fully charged all the time,
because it might affect the battery life time.

PAIRING SENSORS WITH V650
Sensors compatible with V650 use Bluetooth Smart ® wireless technology. Before taking a new heart rate
sensor or cycling sensor into use, it has to be paired with your V650. Pairing only takes a few seconds, and
ensures that your V650 receives signals from your sensors and devices only, and allows disturbance-free
training in a group. Before entering an event or race, make sure that you do the pairing at home to prevent inter-
ference due to data transmission.
For more information on pairing specific sensors, see Compatible Sensors.
