10b. Changing of the speed modul
battery
a. Remove the back cap of the accel-
erometer module with an appropiate
coin.
b. Gently tap the module against the
palm of your hand to pop the battery
out of the module.
c. Replace the battery with the + side
face up and replace the cap.
11. Additional Information
Accuracy
The accuracy of your Speedometer is
highly influenced by the quality of the
running style analysis and the running
coefficient you have performed during
the calibration procedure (Chapter 9.).
If the calibration consisting of running
style analysis and running coefficient
was done carefully and successfully the
accuracy of your Speedometer is about
98% from the real values. Please keep
in mind that your car or bicycle speed-
ometer only has the same accuracy
when you want to compare distance
information provided by different speed-
ometer types!
If the Speedometer works worse after
the calibration than without calibration
something definitely went wrong during
the calibration. Please read the chapter
9. Calibration again carefully and try to
figure out what might be the course for
this failure.
Running Belt
The accelerometer modules of the Mi-
crosport Speedometer are integrated in
the chest belt. When you run on a run-
ning belt your chest actually does not
move forward so no acceleration can be
measured.
However Microsport is aware that many
runners exercise on the running belt and
want to cumulate their total achieve-
ments and running history in the Speed-
ometer watch. Microsport therefore has
equipped its running software in that
way that it works also on the running belt
with nearly the same accuracy as when
you run outdoor.
ATTENTION! Under certain circum-
stances this feature results in a speed
and distance reading on your display
when you run on the spot only! The
running software thinks that you are
running on a belt and enters the running
belt simulation mode.
Please have that in mind when you stop
your run i.e. in front of a red traffic light
and start running on the spot in order to
keep your body and muscles warm. If
you don't want that this distance is
added to the real running distance it is
most safe when you press STOP when
you pause your run and START when
you resume running.
Walking
The Speedometer is meant for walking
as well as jogging. Please note that a
running style analysis (chapter 9a.) is
not possible for walking! You can how-
ever improve the accuracy by findinf the
correct personal multiplier PM.
12. Troubleshooting
This section deals with the most com-
mon problems reported so far.
Problem: Nothing appears on the
display.
Solution: Press MODE, if the display
remains blank replace battery of watch
and press MODE again.
Problem: Display readings fade out.
Solution: Battery of watch are running
out and have to be replaced.
Problem: Slow display response.
Solution: The current temperature is
higher or lower than the operating tem-
perature of the speedometer (0 °C to 55
°C/ 32 °F to 131 °F).
Problem: Black display.
Solution: Temperature is too high,
perhaps the display has been exposed
to direct sunlight for too long.
Problem: The displayed actual speed
seems not to be realistic.
Solution A. The transmission may have
been interrupted for a short time. Such
an interruption has no significance for
the accuracy of the measurement of the
distance, as long as the interruption is
not for longer than 1 kilometre or 0.6
miles.
Solution B. The running style analysis
was either not performed at all or was
not accurate enough. Please study
chapter 9b. again carefully and do an-
other running style analysis.
Solution C. The running coefficient was
not adjusted correctly and your running
results show a systematically error.
Please read chapter 9a. and calculate
your personal running coefficient. Don't
forget to program it into the display after
calculating!
Problem: The communication be-
tween the chest belt and display
does not work.
Solution A. The contact plates on both
sides of the speed-module are defect.
Please send in the speed-module for
service.
Solution B. The battery is weak so the
distance between chest belt and display
is to long. You can check by bringing
chest belt and display close together
and check again. If the signal is ok then
you need to replace the batteries.
