FIRST USE
Before using your CW F300 heart rate monitor, please read the owner's manual
carefully and follow the setting procedures with care.
The batteries
The battery used in the chest belt is a CR 2032.
The battery used in the watch is a CR 2032.
Watch:
We recommend that you not change the watch batteries yourself, but rather have
the job done by a specialized DECATHLON repair shop. If you change the battery
yourself, you may damage the seal and lose both the water tightness and warran-
tee on the product.
Please check the availability of the battery with your dealer before replacing it.
Chest belt:
If the heart rate indications become inconsistent or if the heart symbol does not
flash on the screen, even though the watch is in the reception cone, it may be
necessary to change the battery in the chest belt.
You can change the belt battery yourself, without using any specialized tools.
Changing procedure:
• Unscrew with a coin, then remove the cover of the battery compartment
• Remove the old battery by tapping on the opposite side of the belt
• Replace the used battery with a lithium 3V type CR2032 battery without touching
either of its 2 terminals (it may discharge), with the + terminal (printed surface) up.
• Carefully replace the cover, then screw it down again by a quarter turn to the
"close" position.
In the event of a problem, refer to the troubleshooting table.
RECYCLING
The “crossed-out wastebasket” symbol indicates that this product
and the batteries it contains cannot be disposed of with household
waste. They are subject to a specific type of sorting. Deposit the bat-
teries and your unusable electronic product in an authorized collec-
tion area for recycling. This treatment of your electronic waste will
protect the environment and your health.
RESTRICTION ON USE:
Precautions:
• Handle the device with care; do not drop it or bang it.
• Do not dismantle the watch. This will void the warranty and may cause damage
and loss of waterproofing.
• Do not subject the watch to extreme temperatures. If the watch is exposed to
direct sunlight for too long, the display may darken temporarily, but it will go back
to normal once it has cooled down again.
• Clean the watch and the belt with a soft, damp cloth only. Do not use detergents,
as they may damage the materials of your watch. Only the elastic of the belt may
be machine washed (30°).
Waterproof design:
The watch is waterproof to 5 ATM. It can therefore be use in humid conditions, in
heavy rain, in the shower or for swimming. However, avoid diving and wearing the
watch at depths below 5 meters. Do not operate the buttons underwater.
The chest belt is only "water resistant". It is therefore impermeable to sweat and
can be used in rain or under damp clothing. It must not be worn in the shower or
when swimming, however.

Even athletes in good health must take into account that the determination of the
maximum heart rate and personal training zone is a vital element in the setting up
effective, risk-free training.
The advice of your physician or health professional is recommended for determi-

featuring this technology, such as the CW F300.
Not taking these precautions may result in a vital risk.
