Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if...

...the battery symbol and Low battery is displayed?

The low battery indicator is usually the first sign of an expired battery. However, in cold conditions the low battery indicator may appear. The indicator will disappear as soon as the temperature rises enough. When the symbol appears, the training computer sounds and backlight are automatically deactivated. For further information on changing the battery, see Important Information (page 51).

...I do not know where I am in the menu?
