1Application range
The GPS-watch RUNGPS1 is equipped with a navigation system. The User’s
location can be determined by using the satellite network that surrounds the
earth. This is possible at any moment and everywhere in the world.
The GPS-watch is destined for the use as a global system for
determining the location.
Made for measuring the distance, speed, height and navigation by using
the American satellite network, being fit especially for sports types like
jogging, cycling, camping, sailing, skiing etc.
The GPS-watch is not fit for an exigent use as sky diving, gliding.
The RUNGPS1 is designed for private purposes and it is not made for
commercial use.
The GPS-watch can also be used as an auxiliary training gadget for measuring
and displaying cardiac frequency, not as a medical device.
Any other use than the ones described in the operating instructions is not
allowed, and it may lead to deterioration, and also injuries. No responsibility
is taken for the damages which result from the improper use. Further
instructions and clarifications can be found in the operating instructions.
All the indicated data are only nominal data. The right to technical
modifications is preserved.

2Safety and maintenance
2.1 Safety instructions
Please read this chapter carefully and follow all the specified indications. This
way you ensure the adequate functioning and a long period of operation for
your GPS-watch.
Keep the wrapping and operating instructions well, so that, in case of
alienation, you can hand them on to the new owner.
For safety reasons, do not operate the GPS-watch while driving a car.
Stop or let a co-passenger carry on the settings. It is dangerous not to
watch the street and it may lead to an accident, in which you or
someone else could get hurt.
Do not open the case of the GPS-watch or the chest strap, it does not
include parts that must be maintained (excepting the opening of the
strap part with the battery, for replacing the battery, see point 9.2
“Replacement of the battery of chest strap”).
Do not place any object on the GPS-watch and do not put any pressure
on the display or the display may break.
Do not touch the screen with sharp objects, in order to avoid damaging.
The use of this product depends on satellites, as many of the GPS
products, satellites that are operated by the American government. If
modifications at the level of the satellite network take place, this may
influence the execution and accuracy of this GPS-watch.
Risks for children and individuals requiring assistance
This device is not intended for use by individuals (including children)
with limited physical, sensorial or emotional capacities or limited
experience and / or knowledge unless they are supervised by an
individual responsible for their safety or receive instructions from the

6
latter as to how the device should be used. Children should be
supervised in order to ensure that they do not play with the device.
Important: Always consult your doctor, before starting a regular training
program. The RUNGPS1 watch is not a medical device; it is a helping training
gadget for the measurement and display of your cardiac frequency.
Wearers of cardiac pacemakers may use devices for cardiac frequency
measurement only after consulting with their doctor.
Indication: The chest strap may contain latex elements. Allergic reactions
under the form of some skin irritations and redness –in relatively powerful
conditions –may rarely appear to this material. Even if only slight redness
appears, stop using the chest strap. In this case, we recommend you to
contact a skin specialist (dermatologist).
2.2 Repairing
In case of a necessary reparation or when a technical problem occurs, resort
exclusively to our service center. You can find its address on the warranty
card.
2.3 Water impermeability
The RUNGPS1 watch is 3 bar water resistant. In the table below you will see
which activities and conditions the GPS-watch is adequate. Data are based
on a verification of aquatic impermeability according to DIN 8310.

Be careful not to touch the buttons, when the watch is still moist. The water
only can enter in the case through these buttons and this can affect the
watch. Please note that salty and thermal water can lead to the corrosion of
the metallic elements.
Note that, in case of extreme temperature differences (e.g. from sauna to
the swimming-pool, from the beach to cold sea) water resistance can not be
guaranteed. Because of temperature differences condensation water can be
formed and thus the mechanism of the watch can be influenced.
The chest strap is protected against water splatter, here the following
applies:

2.4 Percussion and vibrations
The GPS-watch is protected against the bumps that may appear during its
normal wrist wearing.
2.5 Electromagnetic compatibility
Very powerful magnetic fields (e.g. transformers) must absolutely be
avoided, or differences in measuring time and determining location may
occur. The inobservance of these indications may lead to deteriorations or
the mismatch of your GPS-watch.

2.6 Environmental temperature
The GPS-watch can be operated durably at an environmental temperature
from 0 °C up to 50 °C, and stored at an environmental temperature of -10 °C
up to 60 °C. Avoid high temperatures (e.g. in stopped vehicles or under direct
sun influence) and permanent environmental humidity.
Indication:
Display problems at temperatures of -10° C up to 0° C will not be attributed
to the GPS-watch, but on the impairment of accumulators due to coldness.
The electro-chemical processes of the batteries and accumulators are
strongly influenced by the environmental temperature. The lower the
temperature, the more powerfully the processes are influenced during
discharge. That is why you should note that at temperatures below freezing
point, the battery, respectively the accumulators may "freeze", a fact that
will lead to the damage of the economic life of the battery, respectively of
the accumulators.
2.7 Functioning of the battery
Your GPS-watch operates on the basis of a lithium-polymer accumulator,
which can not be changed. The chest strap operates with a lithium battery 3V
CR2032.
Further you will find some indications regarding the manipulation of
accumulators:
The accumulator of the GPS watch can not be changed and must not be
taken out.
Keep the GPS watch far from heat sources of high temperature
environments, e.g. direct exposure to sunlight in a vehicle.
Do not perforate or burn the GPS-watch.

Charge the accumulator of the GPS watch only with a USB cable
delivered together with it. If the accumulator is charged otherwise, this
can lead to overheating, explosion or fire.
Do not charge the accumulator of the GPS watch near heat sources or
in a car, under the powerful action of sunbeams. Powerful temperature
leads to the destruction of the accumulator and may lead to
overheating, explosion or fire.
The inobservance of these indications may lead to the shortage of the service
life of the inserted accumulator or to the damaging of the GPS watch.
Further you will find some indications regarding the manipulation of
batteries:
Replace a battery only with the similar type of battery.
Batteries must not be charged or re-activated by other means; they will
not be disassembled, thrown in fire or short-circuited.
Keep batteries out of reach of children. In case of swallowing, batteries
can jeopardize life. Consequently, keep the batteries and chest strap
out of reach of small children. If a battery is swallowed, medical help
must be required immediately.
Never expose batteries to high heat such as direct sun action, fire or
other similar source. There is a leakage danger. The inobservance of
these indications may lead to the deterioration and, under certain
circumstances, to the explosion of the battery.
Immediately take out a used battery from the chest strap, otherwise it
can leak. In this case, avoid contact with skin, eyes and mucosa. Wash
immediately the parts affected by the acid of the battery with a lot of
water and require immediately medical help. If need be, clean the
contacts of the battery and the contacts from the device. Keep
operating instructions for consulting the information on batteries.
The inobservance of these indications may lead to the deterioration and,
under certain circumstances, to the explosion of the battery.
