ONCOACH 900 HR

The speed display during an activity is the speed in real-time.

The speed displayed in the summary screens is the average speed of the activity.

Calibrating the product involves manually entering the actual distance of the activity you have completed (over an accurately measured distance). If the accuracy does not attain 95%, you can calibrate it in the following 2 ways: - At the end of activity, in the recap, you can open the calibration screen (scroll through the screens) and enter the actual distance of your activity. - In the settings of the product, you can open the calibration menu and calibrate the distance of your latest activity. IMPORTANT:  If you are doing an activity at a given speed (e.g. 6km/h), followed by another activity at a significantly different speed (e.g. 8 or 10km/h), we recommend that you recalibrate your product because the algorithms do not adapt to the speeds. If this is the case, complete 1km at the required speed, calibrate your product and start your activity. Please note: if you are trying to calibrate your product when the accuracy of the readings is greater than 95%, the calibration will not be taken into consideration.

When you have finished a session, save it by simply pressing the button on the side of the product followed by the touchscreen button.

You will then be asked to save (YES) or return to the activity in order to continue (NO).

When you have selected YES or NO, press the button on the side of the product to confirm your choice.

You can also set an objective in terms of the daily number of steps in order to measure your daily activities.

Once set in the APP, you simply start walking. As soon as the objective is attained, you will receive an alert with a vibration and the following message appears:

In the settings of the product, you have the option to switch on the automatic activity detection mode for walking, running and cycling.

Your cycling and running (not walking) activities will then feed information to the app when you next synchronise it, just as if you were manually triggering an activity in "activity" mode.

IMPORTANT: Other activities may be detected and equated to cycling, walking or running. For example, pushing a pushchair or shopping trolley may be detected and registered as a cycling activity. If this should happen, press the touchscreen button below the screen to cancel it.

The product has a touchscreen with 2 zones: a zone above the screen can be used to browse up and down and a press button as well as a touchscreen button symbolised by a line below the screen can be used to click.

Two sizes of wristband are provided with the watch.You can change them without the need for tools so that you can have the one that suits you best.To do this, pull the metal tab and pull on the wristband.Then remove the metal tab and put it back in the other wristband. Finally put the wristband back in the casing of the watch starting at the opposite side from the metal tab and pull the tab to insert the wristband into its housing.

In the adjustments of the APP and the product, you must indicate on which arm you are wearing the product. This is then used to give reliable readings. This information does not concern whether you are right-handed or left-handed. Rather, it is about the wrist of which you wear the product. Entering incorrect information will affect the accuracy of the step, distance and speed measurements.

To reset the stopwatch to "0", press and hold the side button for 5 seconds.

The ONcoach 900 HR is waterproof at 5 ATM.

This means that you can take your shower or bath while wearing the product.

You can also swim, but diving may make the product unusable.

For our step counting system, we chose that it only triggers after 16 consecutive steps This is to only take into account the real movements and filter out the daily untimely movements.

Examples :

- If I stand up and walk a little bit (less than 16 steps) : The steps will not be counted.

- If I am cooking : The steps will not be counted.

- If I get on the bus : The steps will not be counted.

.....

Walking with a hand in your pocket can also lead to an underestimation of your number of steps.

Therefore, you can see differences with other step counting systems (mobile phones, trackers, pedometers,...) because each manufacturer chooses their own algorithm.

If I place my product on the table, it continues to record data (assimilated to sleep).

If necessary, I can turn it off from the "Setup" section and then "Power off".

 

During your everyday activity, certain events can create inaccuracies in the reading. For example, if you are walking while looking at your phone or holding the strap of your backpack, this can hinder the detection of your steps leading to a low reading of the number of steps.

The measurement is made by optical sensor located at the back of the product. Tu ensure an accurate measurement, you have to:

- Put the product after the wrist bone (called Ulna)

- Tighten the strap to ensure the permanent contact of the sensor on your skin and avoid any disturbance linked to sunlight. 

The number of steps, distance and speed are calculated using an accelerometer (electronic component). The algorithms that we have developed attain an accuracy in the order of 95%, i.e. for a 10km activity, the distance measured by the product will be between 9.5km and 10.5km. These algorithms are reliable for 80% of users. So, it is possible that you have an accuracy of less than 95%. If this is the case, you can calibrate the product to improve the reliability of the distance and speed data. For fast walking (speed in the order of 7 km/h or more), the algorithm is more accurate when the walker keeps their arms bent at right angles.

The wrist must be correctly configured to count the steps. Make sure that it is properly configured: Right or left (according to the wrist of which you are wearing your ONcoach 900).

The walking and running algorithms are different. If you practise both activities, they need to be calibrated separately.

Calibrating the product involves manually entering the actual distance of the activity you have completed (over an accurately measured distance). If the accuracy does not attain 95%, you can calibrate it in the following 2 ways: - At the end of activity, in the recap, you can open the calibration screen (scroll through the screens) and enter the actual distance of your activity. - In the settings of the product, you can open the calibration menu and calibrate the distance of your latest activity. IMPORTANT:  If you are doing an activity at a given speed (e.g. 6km/h), followed by another activity at a significantly different speed (e.g. 8 or 10km/h), we recommend that you recalibrate your product because the algorithms do not adapt to the speeds. If this is the case, complete 1km at the required speed, calibrate your product and start your activity. Please note: if you are trying to calibrate your product when the accuracy of the readings is greater than 95%, the calibration will not be taken into consideration.

To improve the accuracy of the speed and distance readings, we recommend that you calibrate ONcoach 900. Without calibration, depending on your walking technique, the accuracy will vary between 70% and 95%. With calibration, the accuracy increases significantly to attain 95% on average.

You can practise fitness walking from 4 to 10km/h. PLEASE NOTE: the readings provided by ONcoach are less accurate for Nordic walking (walking with poles). 

With crutches, the measurement of steps is very imprecise.

With training bike, the measurement of steps is very imprecise.

You can modify a session by clicking the session followed by the pen at the top right. Then edit the name, session, sport, date or time.

The product can be updated using the DECATHLON Connect app.The app will ask you if you want to update the product. Click on it and you will then see 2 arrows displayed on the product's screen. This means that the product is updating. This can take between 5 and 10 minutes.When it has finished, the product returns to time mode.
