    1. Turn on your PC 2. To charge the battery, connect one end of the USB cable to one of your PC's active USB ports, and the other end to your KeyMaze 500/700 GPS. If the Keymaze 500/700 is off, the message BATTERY CHARGING IN PROGRESS appears on the GPS screen.
  • Page 6 recycling 1.2.2. The chest strap (continuation of strap instructions) Important: heartrate can only be measured using the Keymaze 700. Normal conditions of use The chest strap must be positioned around your thorax (chest). When correctly placed, it sends heartrate information to the watch. When placed in the cradle (see diagram), the watch displays your heartrate in order to control and optimise your fitness or training programme.
  • Page 7 FITTING The chest strap serves as a sensor and transmitter. It measures the differences in potential created by your heartbeat at the surface of your skin. It then transmits this information to the watch by radio signal. The quality and accuracy of its measurements and comfort during use depend on it being correctly positioned. The sensors (A) are the black rubber surfaces on both sides of the central section.
  • Page 8 IMPORTANT: - Avoid positioning the sensors in overly hairy areas. - In cold, dry climates, the strap takes several minutes to function correctly because the sensors require a film of sweat to make contact with the skin. - When measurements start, the watch may indicate very high values for around 20 seconds. This is caused by the algorithm starting up. The display will stabilise at the correct values after this period of time.

  • Page 23 The following is displayed on your Keymaze. The HOME-DECAT file is now stored in the Keymaze. You can check it by going to MAIN MENU, NAVIGATION, ROUTES, LIST ALL. The filename appears in the lower part of the screen (FROM PC) because it has been uploaded from the software. If you create a route manually, it appears in the MANUAL zone.
  • Page 24 Here is an example: On this path, you will have to visit points 1, 2 and 3. Let's suppose that you have set the parameter SWITCH DISTANCE to the value 50 metres. Each black circle corresponds to a zone with a radius of 50 metres, centred on the waypoint. As soon you enter this zone, the Keymaze will assume that you have reached the waypoint.
  • Page 25 The screen shows the list of points which make up this route. At the bottom of the screen you have the option to DELETE the file or to FOLLOW the route. Select FOLLOW using p and q and confirm with OK. We see that the route comprises 4 waypoints, named 1, 2, 3 and 4.
  • Page 26 c) Follow your route on the watch Now that your route is activated, you can use your Keymaze to guide you. Important: when you stop, the Keymaze's direction arrow points in a random direction. Start walking and the direction arrow will then indicate the correct direction to follow.
  • Page 27 However, when you travel the journey, the path will probably not correspond exactly to your predictions. When you are travelling your path and you stop (or your speed is too low), the Keymaze will continue to guide you using the compass mode. The compass will tell you the direction to follow using the last known GPS location.
  • Page 28 If you press "MODE", you go to a guidance screen with a compass. This mode enlarges the direction arrow, but the route is no longer displayed. Press "MODE" several times to return to the map screen. When you approach your next point (the distance depends on the parameter set above: SWITCH DISTANCE), the Keymaze will automatically switch to the next point.

    If you have deleted your routes, it will be impossible to recover them. 2.4.2.2. SAVE WAYPOINT In the flag there is the symbol associated with this point and its name. By default, the points are given the symbol and a number as a name. You can change the symbol and name of this point.
  • Page 34 All waypoints stored on the Keymaze are displayed in alphabetical order. When you select one you are taken to a screen like this: If you select the GOTO? option the Keymaze will display a direction arrow so that you can find this point from your current location. Under the arrow a letter G is displayed if guidance is in GPS mode, or a C is guidance is in compass mode.

  • Page 35: Activity Setting

    The Keymaze always gives a direct route (the shortest path from one point to another as the crow flies). Pay close attention to your environment in order to get the best guidance. The screen displays the direction to follow and the distance remaining. The time remaining to complete the route is calculated according to the distance remaining and your average speed so far.

  • Page 37 At the bottom of the screen you can see the number of points available in the Keymaze memory to record your route, and the recording time. If you choose a recording period over one second, you will save memory and be able to record longer routes. Use this option if you do not have much memory left, or when you need to record very long routes.
  • Page 38 Geographical coordinates on a globe. Latitude corresponds to the measurement of the angle labelled phi (φ); the measurement of the angle labelled lambda (λ) with relation to the reference meridian is longitude. It is not possible to set your Keymaze so that it displays by default your position in UTM coordinates. You can however get your position in UTM coordinates from the location screen by pressing the buttons.
  • Page 39 · TIME/DIST ALERT(Alarm according to time or distance): you can ask your Keymaze to sound when you have been training for a certain length of time. Three values are available: * OFF: no time alarm. * ONCE: the alarm sounds after a specified duration, but only once. * REPEAT: the alarm sounds after a specified duration, on a repeated basis.
  • Page 40 The INTENSITY field (Setting target zone type) can take two values: CUSTOM: you set your own target zone value. HR ZONE: the Keymaze automatically defines the target zone according to your physiological settings (sex, age, etc.). The MAX HR ALERT field activates/deactivates (ON/OFF) the alarm if you exceed the upper target zone value. In the ABOVE field enter the upper target zone value.

    To do this, connect your Keymaze to your computer, activate this function and use the DEVICE/SHOW NEMA option in the software. 2.4.4.6.6. GPS INFO (Display satellite information) This option gives you a detailed display of the satellite signals received, and their strengths. If the satellite aerial signal is flashing, this means reception is in progress.
  • Page 47 • How does it indicate your location? It receives data from the satellite network. Each satellite knows its location and emits data continually. The satellites emit signals containing data on the time, orbits and almanac data (position of all satellites). GPS receivers (on the ground, at sea and in the air) receive the satellite signals and calculate their position according to this data.
  • Page 48 - Satellite geometry in relation to the receiver. The factor represents the GDOP (Geometric Dilution Of Precision). Not only must the receiver detect signals from at least four satellites to get a "fix", but they must also be distributed correctly in the sky or measurement accuracy will be reduced. If the satellites are too closely spread, the area where their "spheres"...

    Never forget that a GPS is a navigation instrument, but it cannot do everything. It helps to guide you, but you must also take into account your environment in your activities. At the beginning of a route, when you are stopped, the Keymaze direction arrow points in a random direction. You need to start moving for the direction to follow to be correct.

    Typical system accuracy Location: The optimal accuracy of 10 metres may deteriorate to 30 metres if several disturbing factors combine. Distance: Distance accuracy, which typically ranges from 3 to 5% of the real distance, may deteriorate to 6 or 8% of the total distance. Speed: Speed accuracy depends on the speed itself: the faster the journey, the better the relative accuracy.
