13 FAQ/Correction of errors Before claiming the GPS watch, verify if the accumulators are charged and charge them if need be. Also, check the batteries from the chest strap and replace them if need be. I’d like to start training, why doesn’t the GPS watch show speed? It is important for GPS fast reception that the watch be at rest and not to be on the move. Before starting running, before starting the path respectively, start your GPS watch, in open space, with clear view to the sky (e.g.
How long does the accumulator of the GPS watch last? The service life of the accumulator is of 14 hours, when using the GPS, and of approx. 1 year in time mode. It doesn’t show my current speed, why? Check if you receive enough GPS signal. Why does the GPS watch show a certain speed, if I do not walk/I am not on the move? This depends on the exactness of position determination, measurement intervals of the GPS respectively. See next paragraph, the exactness of the GPS watch respectively.
Why when riding the bike, a different speed in comparison to the computer without bike cable is shown? Do not use the computer without bike cable and the GPS watch simultaneously.
