Acquire The Gps Signal And Connect To Ant+ Sensors - Timex T5K549 User Manual

1. In Time of Day, Chrono, Interval Timer, or Timer mode, hold RADIO until HOLD FOR SENSOR MENU displays.
2. Press DOWN to select CALIBRATE, and then press SELECT.
3. Press SELECT to open the FOOT POD calibration screen.
NOTE: The foot pod must be synched with the watch in order to calibrate. If NO FOOT POD DATA displays on
the watch, make sure the foot pod is synched, and then try again. See the instructions to Select ANT+
Sensors for Your Workout that preceeded this section.
4. Begin running a known distance. The distance must be at least 0.2 miles / 300 meters to give the foot pod
enough data to calibrate.
5. When you have reached the known distance, stop running, and then press STOP. The ACTUAL DISTANCE
screen opens.
NOTE: If NEED MORE DATA displays, the foot pod has not measured at least 0.2 Miles / 300 meters. Continue
running until you reach a minimum of 0.2 miles / 300 meters.
6. Press UP or DOWN to change the blinking value, and press NEXT to move to the next value. Continue doing
this until the actual distance you ran is entered.
7. Press DONE. The watch compares the measured distance with the distance you entered and assigns a
calibration factor.
NOTE: If insufficient or no data has been gathered, the calibration is CANCELED
ENTER A CALIBRATION FACTOR
If you have previously calibrated a foot pod and are re-synching it with the watch, you can enter the calibra-
tion factor the foot pod used the last time it was synched with the watch to avoid going through the auto-
matic calibration process again.
NOTE: The foot pod must be synched with the watch in order to edit the calibration factor manually.
1. In Time of Day, Chrono, Interval Timer, or Timer mode, hold RADIO until HOLD FOR SENSOR MENU displays.
2. Press DOWN to select CALIBRATE, and then press SELECT.
3. Press DOWN to select FACTOR, and then press SELECT.
4. Press UP or DOWN to change the blinking value, and press NEXT to move to the next value. Continue doing
this until the desired calibration factor is entered from 0.1% to 199.9%.
NOTE: The Calibration Factor is determined by taking the KNOWN distance and dividing it by the REPORTED
distance (by the Foot Pod).
5. Press DONE.
ACQUIRE THE GPS SIGNAL AND CONNECT TO ANT+
NOTE: Make sure to set the time and date before turning on reception of the GPS, HR, or Foot Pod sensors to
ensure that the workout data will be captured correctly.
• GPS: Go outside with a clear view of the sky away from buildings or
obstructions.
• Heart Rate: Make sure that the chest sensor pads are wet, the strap
fits snug around the chest, and the TIMEX logo on the transmitter is
face up and centered over the sternum.
NOTE: Make sure to remove the snap-on heart rate transmitter and hand
wash the strap in cool water to maintain its heart rate-sensing capability.
• Foot Pod: Install the sensor on the laces or underneath the insole ac-
cordingly to its included directions.
NOTE: Please remove your Foot Pod during bicycling to allow the GPS sensor
to provide live speed and
distance data.
NOTE: Remember to remove the Foot Pod between workouts out to prolong its battery life.
Press RADIO to turn on watch's sensor reception. It will look for the signals selected in the Sensor Menu, and
flash the appropriate icons at the bottom of the watch display.
If you selected GPS:
1. A message appears that the GPS is being powered on.
2. The watch searches for satellites and a message WAITING FOR GPS with a status bar show on the display.
3. GPS READY displays when the watch obtains a strong satellite fix.
If the watch fails to get a strong GPS signal after 5 minutes, a message displays asking if you are indoors.
• Select YES to turn the GPS off.
