KIPRUN GPS 500 BY COROS

We make updates available to improve the experience, provide new features or fix bugs. You will be notified when an update is available via the application. To launch the update, click on "Update" when the popup appears in the application or go to the "Device" tab of the application and click on "Update".

When your phone and watch are first connected, an error may occur.

Here are some steps to resolve it:
- Restart your phone and try pairing again
- Uninstall/reinstall the Coros APP and try pairing again

Sometimes, it is possible that the synchronization does not work anymore due to an unstable state of the watch or the phone.
In this case, try to refresh (slide down) the application several times

You can also try to restart the watch and the phone and then restart the synchronisation

If this still does not work, you can re-pair the watch to your phone (see section 2.3 Pairing)

GPS signal reception is dependent on the environment and can take a long time. However, we have developed a feature to optimise this time.

This feature allows to fix the GPS signal faster (less than 30s) during an outdoor activity. It works with a satellite positioning file.

This data is automatically downloaded to your watch, however you can download it manually by going to the "Watch" tab and clicking on "Satellite Data".


In order to pick up the signal faster, it is advisable to be in the clearest place possible (not indoors) and not to move (it is very complicated to pick up the signal when moving).

The KIPRUN GPS 500 By Coros watch has an optical sensor to measure heart rate on the wrist.

To ensure an accurate measurement of your heart rate:
- Wear the watch with the dial on top of your wrist
- Wear the watch with the dial on the top of your wrist: The watch should be positioned after the bone, in contact with your skin
- Adjust the strap so that it is tight but not in the way
- The watch should not turn or move on your wrist

Heart rate measurement on the wrist is best for sports with repetitive movements such as running or walking. It is advisable to use a heart rate belt for fitness, weight training etc.

Note: certain factors can nevertheless degrade the heart rate measurement:
- The analysis of a blood flow (pulse) via a light flow will never be as fast as the electromagnetic signal picked up by the heart rate monitor.
- The watch is located quite far from the heart, so the blood flowing to your wrist will take some time. In a split effort, you will have a lag time in the measurement of the heart signal.
- In cold weather, the blood system is subject to a decrease in blood vessel size which can be interpreted by your watch as a low or high heart rate.
- The vascularity of your right and left arm may be different. If the results are not optimal on one arm, try the other arm.
- Also, if you have tattoos in the area of the watch, the heart rate will not be measured.

Caution: See WARNINGS before using the heart rate monitor.

It is possible to automatically share your activities with other services through a gateway

To do so, you must first have an account on the service concerned or create one


- From the Coros application.
- Go to the "Profile" tab
- Click on "Settings" and then on "Third party applications".
- Select the service with which to share your activities.
- Connect to your account (the one of the selected service) and validate.
Sharing is then activated.

For more precision, favor a regular stroke avoiding punctual stops on the same length as well as parasitic movements or changes of stroke.

If you stop swimming, pause the activity. Either by pressing the D button and restarting the activity by clicking on "Continue". Either by pressing the back button to switch to rest mode, press the back button again to switch back to activity mode.

Large casts or very fast lengths can lead to measurement error.

EvoLab combines several algorithms that will give an indication of fitness, impact of training load, fatigue and performance level.

In order for the data to be as reliable as possible, you must enter your own physiological data in relation to your level:
This means defining your endurance, threshold, aerobic and anaerobic paces in paces/km and your heart rate. You can modify them in the Coros application, by going to the "Profile" tab and then clicking on your name at the top left. If you don't know them, they will be calculated automatically but probably less accurate.

The information from EvoLab is visible on the watch in a condensed form and on the Coros application. They are represented in 3 categories:
- Performance with Performance Level, Marathon Level, V02Max, Threshold.... this provides you with race predictions (in time and pace) over 5km, 10km, Half Marathon and Marathon.
- Fatigue with Fatigue Level, Fitness and Impact Load which allows you to have your total load
- Recovery (only on the watch) which lets you know what type of training you can do

You can find more information about EvoLab on the Coros website

Be careful not to lose the small screw.

If you encounter problems with your device (connectivity, slowness...) a product reset can correct certain problems.
To do this, go to the "System" menu, "Param Plus" then "Reset all".
