START A TRAINING SESSION

Wear the heart rate sensor, and make sure you have paired it with your M400.

In time view, press START to enter pre-training mode.

Choose the sport profile you want to use with UP/DOWN.

To change the sport profile settings before starting your session (in pre- training mode), press and hold LIGHT to enter the Quick Menu. To return to the pre-training mode, press BACK.

If you have activated the GPS function, M400 will automatically start search- ing for the signals.

Stay in the pre-training mode until M400 has found GPS satellite sig- nals and your heart rate sensor to make sure your training data is accurate.

To catch the GPS satellite signals, go outdoors and away from tall buildings and trees. For best GPS performance, wear M400 on your wrist with the dis- play facing up. Keep it in a horizontal position in front of you and away from your chest. Keep your arm stationary and raised above the level of your chest during the search.Stand still and hold the position until M400 has found the satellite signals. This typically takes 30-60 seconds the first time. On future occasions it should take only a few seconds.

The percentage value shown next to the GPS icon indicates when the GPS is ready. When it reaches 100 %, OK is displayed, and you are ready to go. M400 has found your heart rate sensor signal, when your heart rate is shown.

When M400 has found all the signals, press START. Recording started is displayed and you can start training.

Due to the location of the GPS antenna on the M400, it is not recom- mended to wear it with the display on the underside of your wrist. When wear- ing it on the handlebars of a bike, make sure the display is facing up.
