Move away from metal objects .

Replace the battery in the S+D Sensor.

NOTE:The system can maintain accuracy for short periods when GPS signals are lost.

PROBLEM

• Watch displays FATAL GPS ERROR message.

SOLUTION

S+D Sensor Battery Life and Replacement

The battery in the S+D Sensor will last approximately 12 hours. The S+D Sensor itself does not indicate the condition of its battery, except if the battery is completely exhausted (as noted in the section “Operating the S+D Sensor”).Instead,this information

is broadcast to your watch along with your performance data. Refer to the user manual for your watch for the procedure to check the S+D Sensor’s battery level.

Replace battery

Flip out the half-circle handle on the battery hatch (located on the side of the S&D Sensor case) and turn it counter-clockwise to unscrew.

Remove the battery hatch.

Remove old battery and insert one (1) new AA battery. Observe the +/- markings inside the battery compartment to ensure the new battery is properly aligned.

Replace the battery hatch and tighten the cap by turning clock- wise. Do not over-tighten.

Maintenance

Rinse the S+D Sensor and its strap in fresh water periodically to avoid buildup of materials that can interfere with the measurement of your speed and distance.
