4 OVERVIEW
4.2.1 ATTACHING THE CHEST BELT
Press the R3 transmitter into the snaps of the chest
belt.
Important: Detach the R3 transmitter from the belt
after training in order to save the battery. The trans-
mitter is always active if a current is flowing between
the two contacts. This is the case when the chest belt
is worn on the skin, or, for instance, if the chest strap
and/or the R3 transmitter lies on a wet towel. When
the LED flashes, the R3 transmitter is on.
Before you can train with your new RC 14.11,
you need to activate it. To do this, use the
appropriate tool to set the battery compartment
to ON.
Your RC 14.11 will automatically change to setting
mode. Use the PULSE (-) and SPEED (+) buttons
to scroll through the basic settings. Press the SET
button to confirm your entry. Set the basic settings
such as the language, measuring unit, date and time.
Press and hold the SET button to exit the
setting mode.
For further information, please see section 5 “Setting
mode”.
You can wear the R3 transmitter either on the chest belt or the HipClip.
kWorn on chest belt
It measures the heart rate, speed and distance.
kWorn on HipClip
It measures the speed and distance, but not the heart rate.

Important: Speed and distance are only measured
correctly if you wear the HipClip on the front center.
4.2.1 ATTACHING THE CHEST BELT
4.2.2 ATTACHING THE HIPCLIP
Snap the R3 transmitter into the HipClip.
Important: Detach the R3 transmitter from the
HipClip after training in order to save the battery.
The transmitter becomes active when it is clipped
on the HipClip or if current can flow between the
contacts (press buttons). When the LED flashes,
the R3 transmitter is on.
Note: The R3 transmitter can only be used in one
direction.

Prerequisite: Your running computer must be in setting mode.
5.5.12 TRAINING WITH TRAINING ZONES
Your running computer has three training zones. The preset
training zones “Fat Burn” and “Fit Zone” are calculated from the
maximum heart rate. Each training zone has an upper and a lower
heart rate limit.
kFat Burn
This training is for the aerobic energy metabolism. Thanks to the
long duration and low intensity, more fat than carbohydrates is
burned or converted into energy. Training in this zone will help you
lose weight.
kFit Zone
Your training is considerably more intensive in the Fitness Zone.
Training in this zone enhances your basic endurance level.
kIndividual Training Zone
This zone is set up by you.
The procedure for selecting the training zone is described in section
5.5.11 “Setting the training zone”.
