VIEW SET
By default, the KeyMaze 300 will automatically begin searching for GPS satellites. Depending on your location, your speed, cloud cover and relief, signal acquisition can take between 15 seconds and 5 minutes. Orient the GPS towards the sky. The aerial should be pulled out and facing upwards. It typically takes 38 seconds to start the device from cold (at a different position from where it was turned off and having been turned off for several hours, in clear weather). To turn it on from warm (after passing through a tunnel for example), it takes around 2 seconds.
The battery icon shows the energy level remaining in the devices internal battery. When the icon has four bars in it, the battery is full. The exercise stopwatch icon will be displayed when the speed measurement function is in use. GPS satellite signal reception icon. The icon is always displayed (not flashing) if the device receives a sufficiently strong GPS signal to establish reliable positioning.

BATTERY AND CHARGING THE DEVICE
This wrist GPS uses a 1600 mAh Lithium-Ion battery pack. You should recharge it fully before first using the device. 1. Turn on your PC. 2. To charge the battery, connect one end of the USB cable to one of your PCs active USB ports, and the other end to your KeyMaze 300 GPS. 3. When the KeyMaze 300 is fully charged, the battery indicator is completely full (if the device is on) or the words "BATTERY CHARGING COMPLETE" are displayed (if the device is off). Disconnect the device from the port to avoid damaging the battery.

Positioning the KeyMaze 300 during sporting activities. The KeyMaze 300 is designed to be worn on the wrist, outside clothing. It fastens to your forearm using a Velcro strap system.
NAVIGATION : THE DIFFERENT MODES
Keep pressing MODE to scroll through the various operating modes. A. Sport mode B. Menu mode C. Positioning mode D. Map mode (if activated)
The aerial is under the plastic cover to the left of the screen. For optimum performance, the top of the device should be facing the sky. The more it is oriented towards the sky, the better the reception will be. The GPS KeyMaze 300 features a high-precision SiRFstarIII receiver. Even if satellite signal reception is currently excellent, you need to take the following precautions: i LIt is not possible to detect a GPS signal inside buildings. Reception will be greatly reduced in cloudy conditions, in wooded areas, in tunnels or if the GPS is worn under clothing. GPS reception is also impaired by electromagnetic interference (power lines, mobile telephones, walkie talkies, etc).

A. Sport mode
Sport mode allows you to measure your sporting activities and to record data. It has two screens (press VIEW/SET to go from one to the next): The watch screen shows the time (TIME OF DAY), your average speed (AVG SPEED) and instant altitude (ELEVATION). The exercise stopwatch screen displays time since exercise started (TRAINING TIME), distance covered (DISTANCE) and instant speed (SPEED).
2. Keep pressing the MODE button to go to SPORT mode.

B. Menu mode

MENU MODE gives access to the devices various functions and settings.
You can change the initial view by pressing the VIEW/SET keys in order to change the information displayed on the screen. 3. When you are ready to go, press OK to start the exercise stopwatch and to start recording data. 4. During exercise you can stop and restart the stopwatch by pressing OK (GPS positions will not be recorded while the stopwatch is stopped, but the distance covered (in a straight line) will still be recorded). 5. At the end of your training session, stop the stopwatch by pressing OK. 6. Save the training file by pressing ESC and confirming by pressing OK. The file is then ready to be transferred to PC or can be viewed immediately using the SPORT RECORD option. 7. You can now turn off GPS or record a new sports session.

C. Positioning mode

Positioning mode (LOCATION) displays the geodesic coordinates of your current location (latitude and longitude).

D. Optional mode: map

When active, map mode (MAP) displays your route and your waypoints on a graphical diagram.
ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS A. Measuring a sporting session and recording position data
Before your training session, check that: - The KeyMaze 300 is correctly turned on and the battery is sufficiently charged for the duration of your activity. - The GPS signal is correctly detected (aerial icon continually displayed). If necessary change location to get a clear view of the sky (avoid tree cover, tunnels and high buildings) then stay as still as possible to reduce start-up time (usually around 30 seconds). - The device is positioned so that the aerial (under the plastic part to the left of the screen) is oriented skywards as directly as possible.
B. Transferring your data to PC or exporting them to Google Earth
See Geonaute Software instructions: http://software.geonaute.com/notice.aspx
If you start the exercise stopwatch when the GPS signal is not correctly detected (satellite icon flashing), all speed, distance and route recording data will be incorrect.
