C. Charge the BatteryC-04The watch has built-in rechargeable lithium polymer battery. Charge it for at least 3 hours if it is going to be used for the first time. If battery is empty, charging cycle will be completed in less than 2 hours. If battery is not empty, charging time will be shorter. A quick 15 minute charging may keep GPS running for around 1.5 hours. Battery life of a single charge depends upon usage. If GPS is not activated, it can last for around a year. If GPS is ON, battery life is approximately 8.5 hours. This rechargeable battery is good for at least 500 charging cycles. Battery gas gauge function is provided. The approximate time left, when working with GPS, is calculated by pushing the [V] button once in TIME mode. This is only serves as a rough estimation. The actual life may vary as the operating conditions change. If battery level is nearly empty, GPS and backlight functions will be disabled. At this stage, the watch can still run for another 2 weeks with normal time keeping functions.To charge the battery:1) Align the clip guide and pins with the notch and contacts at the bottom of the watch2) Make sure the clip is secure 3) Plug USB cable into any of the PC’s USB connectorBackUSB CableContacts pointBackFront

D. Getting Start: GlossaryWaypoint PathWorkout logPace Compass bearingWaypoints are sets of coordinates that identify a point in physical space. For the purposes of terrestrial navigation, these coordinates usually include longitude and latitude, and RO altitude. Waypoint names are limited to 10 characters long. It can be named or renamed in GPS Master. Renaming can be done easily by just kick and drag on the waypoint names.Path is a collection of waypoints. It can be treated independently as scattered waypoints; or linked in sequential order (either forward or backward). Linked waypoints form a PATH (or route). Nav Master has 10 Paths. Each path has 99 waypoints maximum. Paths can be created by Lap-To-Waypoint function. Or they can be created by GE (Goggle Earth) or GMaps (Google Maps) then imported to watch through GPS Master. Path name can be 32 characters long. After workout/navigation has started, Nav Master collects all information into a log. The sampling interval is controlled by value in TrackLog setting. Workout logs contain: starting time and date, workout summary, lap details, speed, distance, HR and track data.PACE is commonly used by runners to estimate time required to go to destination. It is defined as the elapsed time needed per Km / Mile. It is another interpretation of speed but in opposite magnitude. The unit of PACE is specified in Menuettingsystemnitseneral..e.g. if unit is Km and PACE is 6 then it means that you are running at 6 minutes per Kilometer. It is equivalent to 60/6 => 10 KmH. If PACE is smaller, it means that you are running faster. Compass bearing is equivalent to azimuth bearing. An azimuth bearing uses all 360/ of a compass to indicate direction. The compass is numbered clockwise with north as 0/, east 90/, south 180/, and west 270/. So a bearing of 42/ would be northeast and a bearing of 200/ would be southwest, and so on.D-01

D. Getting Start: GlossaryLap-By-Distance (LBD)Create a lap after the preset lap distance has reachedLap-To-Waypoint (L2WP)Create a waypoint at the end of selected path whenever a lap is marked.Cold StartHot StartGPS MasterGPS Master is a PC application software which is written to work withwatch. Workout log and paths can be downloaded / uploaded easily via the USB cable. GPS Master provides a much better means for workout analysis, path creation and manipulation. %EMHR %EMHR = percentage of HR with respect to the Estimated Maximum Heart Rate. Estimated maximum HR is calculated as 220 – your age Target HR Zone (Target Zone) The region of HR which you would like you HR to be during exercise. Lap-By-Time (LBT)Create a lap after the preset lap time has reachedIf GPS has been suspended for a long time, Satellite data collected earlier is not valid anymore. It takes about 30 seconds to acquire sufficient satellite data and fix your location. This is known as the cold start.If GPS has been terminated for only a short period and then re-start, satellite data is still valid. It takes only a few seconds to fix your location. This is known as the Hot start. Ventus G1000 D-02

E. Work out ModeWorkout mode displays your current performance. You can measure and record your performance as you are running or navigating in the wilderness. The workout mode shows speed, distance traveled, workout time from start, heart rate and other interesting data regarding your current workout. It records your track with the speed, heart rate and altitude that you can view on your PC graphically. Workout mode works together with the Navigation mode. Start, stop, lap, GPS shortcut operations are common to both modes. Performing these actions in either of the modes has same effect.The watch offers 5 activity profiles (defaults are Running, Cycling, Hiking, Sailing and User). Name editing of these profiles can only be done on the PC application software. Because text editing is quite a painful task if it is done through a watch which has only 4 buttons. Each profile has 3 views (or screens). Every view has 3 data fields. Data fields can be selected freely from a list of fields. This allows users to review selected fields on their own interest. Profile configuration can also be done through the PC software quickly. You can store as many profiles as you want in PC. Its mass storage device virtually posts no limit on the number of possible profile combinations that you can think of.About the Workout ModeE-01

[ H ]Fixing withGPSGPS Fixed
How to turn ON GPS manually:a) b) GPS status indicator- When GPS is acquiring satellite information, an “ANTENNA” icon is flashing on top right for most of the workout views. - If GPS has a 2D location fixed, “GPS fixed” will pop-up message will appear for a few seconds. Icon at top left is as shown here. - If more satellites are captured, GPS has 3D fixed. Icon will be like this - If GPS lost satellites and could not fix position, GPS “GPS Lost” pop- up message will appear. It stays on LCD until any of the button is pressed. If GPS receiver has been stopped for a long time, say more than 2 hours, it is recommended to start GPS manually. Especially if you want to have track logging done even at the beginning of workout. Because GPS cold start time is long. Usually it takes approximate half a minute. During the cod start period, track information is not available. you should have the GPS position fixed beforehand. To do this you can do either of the followings:Menu > GPS > GPS ON or OFF (turn GPS ON); orSimply hold [V] for 2 seconds at Workout / Navigation modes to toggle GPS either ON or OFF.
