g/ Heart Rate Belt Pairing
(KEYMAZE 700 only)
To receive the signal of the belt, you must install it on the chest by moistening ell the sensors. If
it as not recognized after several attempts of repositioning, try to pair it again by using this mode.
Each heart rate belt has a unique identification number, that can not be changed. When the belt is
driven (moistened and then installed on the chest) it automatically transmits its identification
number to Keymaze.
The "pairing" allo s the Keymaze to detect stimulated belts that are near of 10 meters and
store their ID number. You must be isolated during this phase in order to to appair an other one.
By default the Keymaze 700 comes paired ith heart rate monitor belt in the package. It is therefore
not necessary to use the "pairing" before the first use.
Ho ever, the "pairing" can be used hen you ant to use another belt.
h/ Update the Keymaze
This mode allo s you to update your Keymaze from the interface Geonaute Soft are.
This mode allo s you to update your Keymaze from the interface Geonaute Soft are and get the

1/ Session Set up
LAP
(only available on KEYMAZE 700 version) : The lap time allo s you to memorise and display
your session information at regular intervals. This data can then be vie ed later using GEONAUTE
SOFTWARE.
AUTO – the GPS ill record a lap time at each change of section (change bet een an
ascent and a flat section or a descent)
DISTANCE – The lap time is set according to the distance
OFF – lap time is off
Should you select AUTO or DISTANCE, a indo appears at the end of each lap,
displaying the information for that lap, hile you exercise.
ARRIVAL
KEYMAZE helps you to manage the timing of your exercise
BEFORE SUNSET - An alert arns you of sunset
BEFORE A TIME - Set an arrival time and you ill get an alert one hour earlier
FREE– No alert. You manage your timing yourself
SAMPLING RATE
Sampling sets the frequency ith hich the Keymaze records information. The shorter the sampling
time, the more accurate the data ill be and, consequently, the shorter the recording time ill be.
Setting at 1/2/5 or 10 seconds
This ill change the accuracy of the tracks recorded in the Geonaute soft are.
ZONE
This parameter helps you stick to a preset pace throughout your session. The KEYMAZE ill arn you
if you exceed the preset limits, so that you can monitor effort levels during your exercise.
There are t o GPS function modes that are built in to the
KEYMAZE: the Free route and the Guided route.
The first mode allo s the user to practise his sport freely and
record the session ith the GEONAUTE SOFTWARE and analyse
the route, the information (speed, altitude, ascent/descent...) or
even the heart rate (KM700)
There are several steps you have to go through to
configure your session before starting an exercise.

HR ZONE : (KEYMAZE 700 only) : You can set an alert, if your heart rate is higher or
lo er than a preset rate. Consequently, you can monitor your effort levels as you
exercise.
SPEED ZONE : Selecting "speed" zones allo s you to monitor 3 types of speed:
horizontal speeds (typically the speed of progress) and vertical speeds (ascending and
descending speed (in m/hr)). A target zone defined in terms of speed allo s you to set
you speed of ascent and manage your effort levels better.
OFF : the zones are deactivated
ADVISE OF THE PRODUCT MANAGER:
When practising lengthy endurance sports like hiking or trail running, it is useful to monitor one's
energy consumption. During prolonged light exercise, you use up more fat, the
reserves of hich are almost inexhaustible in most people, hile, just a fe
minutes of intense exercise can be enough to tire you out.
After setting your parameters session, press OK to go to satellites

GPS SIGNAL SEARCH
The KEYMAZE searches for the GPS signal.
In order to optimise the search for a GPS signal, move a ay from buildings or oodland. The GPS
signal ill be better if the sky is clear. Once the signal has been found, the GPS ill go automatically
to the exercise screens.
Should the GPS signal be too eak, the Keymaze ill prompt you to carry out the session indoors. If
you choose this option, you only get the stop atch and heart rate information (Keymaze 700 only).
BELT
This option can only be configured on the KEYMAZE 700.
During the GPS signal search, the KEYMAZE ill also search for your heart rate monitor belt
(KEYMAZE 700 only). Remember to position the belt's sensors on the rib cage, moistening them in
order to get a good signal during your exercise. If the belt cannot be found at the second attempt,
check out the FAQ section (on .geonaute.com/fr/forum).
If you do not ish to use the belt, select no during the search, in hich case you ill not get any
heart rate information during your exercise.
Looking for satellite signals.
If the signal is too lo ,
Keymaze suggest to launch the
session mode "Indoor"
With Keymaze 700, it attempts
to capture the signal from
the cardiobelt.

GUIDED ROUTE
1/ Create a route
It is possible to create a route from different ays:
a/ Download a route from QUECHUA.COM
b/ Create a route in Geonaute Software
In the "preparation/route" menu, you can "add a route" and assign a photo to it. Then, using the
"modify" option on the map indo , you can dra the route of your choice point-by-point.
ADVISE OF THE PRODUCT MANAGER: When creating the route "point by
point", be very specific hen defining the decision points, e.g. crossings).
This is here you ill have to make a decision.
Follo the curves along the ay, other ise, should your saved route cut real
corners, the GPS, that calculates the distance bet een your position ( hich
should be on the route) and the theoretical route, ill display a message
stating that you are off the track, thereby causing unnecessary concern.
Take care hen creating routes on IGN (National Geographic Institute) maps
using satellite photos. The latter are sometimes slightly offset (by about
t enty metres) from the real GPS positions. Similarly, the satellite photos
(like Google Maps) are not al ays perfectly aligned ith the spatial reference
system of the GPS. This may result in a gap bet een the route (made on the
map's path) and the real track recorded by the GPS for the same path.
/ Follow a route from a previous session using Geonaute Software
If one of your friends or yourself have already done a route, you can convert it into a track.
In the GEONAUTE SOFTWARE, the route is stored in your history. In the "my sessions" menu, simply
mark the session by clicking on it ith the mouse and then select the "add to routes" option. The
track ill then be optimised and the changes in altitude preserved.
The Guided route gives you directions along a route
created in the Geonaute soft are or a route do nloaded
from Quechua.com
The user has to follo various steps before starting out:
do nload the route to the KEYMAZE and configure the
session before beginning your outing.
A route can be do nloaded from the Quechua club or a route
ebsite. Then save the "gpx" file on your computer's
desktop or in a
file you have specially created for the purpose.
You can then import it into GEONAUTE SOFTWARE using the "import
