Frequently Asked Questions
Question/Problem Answer/Solution
How can I best catch satellite signals? Wear the training computer with its face upwards
on your wrist. Keep your wrist stationary and raised
above the level of your chest during the search.
Stand still and hold the position until the training
computer has found the satellite signals. See
Starting a Training Session (page 13) for more
information.
How do I ensure a good GPS signal reception in
RC3 GPS?
The best GPS signal reception can be reached
when training in an open area where there are no
obstructions for the satellite signals. Due to the
nature of the GPS signal, for example hills, tall
buildings, and trees may block the satellite signal.
Rain, fog, and snow may also affect the signal
quality. Wear the training computer with its face
upwards on your wrist.
