  • USB port

The mini CD-ROM works in any standard CD-ROM drive with a tray; place the CD- ROM in the centre of the tray. See the TECHNICAL SUPPORT section of this guide if you need a download-able version of the software.

1. Load the CD-ROM into your PC’s CD drive.
2. At the TIMEX Trainer screen, click on the INSTALL TIMEX TRAINER link. If no links are visible, move the mouse pointer over the upper left photo. (Each of the photos represents a different function that you can activate.)

Tip

• When you travel outside your home time zone, you should resynchronize your Data Recorder to keep the times of your stored workouts correct.

RECORD YOUR WORKOUT

Follow these steps to record data from a TIMEX® Speed + Distance System GPS Sensor and/or Digital Heart Rate Sensor:

1. Always start with the sensors! Attach a Heart Rate Sensor chest belt or Speed + Distance Sensor (or both) to your body and turn it (them) on.
2. Next turn on the Data Recorder. It will automatically attempt to synchronize to the GPS Sensor and/or Heart Rate Sensor data. Here is what the LED colours mean (see the Help for more details):
   • Steady green – looking for a sensor.
   • Regular blinking green – synchronized to one unit.
   • Irregular blinking green – synchronized to both units.
   • Red with green blink – receiving data from one device, not from the other.
   • Steady red – lost the radio link to the sensor.
3. Now you can secure the Recorder to your clothing (or drop it in your pocket). You’re ready to go!

Tips

• Turn off the Data Recorder as soon as possible after your workout to get the most accurate workout data.
• For best results, keep the Data Recorder on the same side of your body as the GPS Sensor (if used). The location of the Data Recorder is not as important as the Heart Rate Sensor.
• If the Data Recorder is tracking one device and you want to add another one, push the control button. The Data Recorder will attempt to synchronize with the new unit.
• If you attach the Data Recorder to your clothing with the clip on the rear of the unit, be sure to also use the supplied lanyard to protect against loss.

TRANSFER WORKOUT DATA TO YOUR PC

Follow these steps to upload data from the Data Recorder to the TIMEX® Trainer software in your PC:

3. When the transfer is complete, disconnect the Data Recorder.

Tips

• If the software does not start automatically, double-click on the Data Recorder icon in the task tray. You can also start the transfer process from the File menu of TIMEX Trainer.
