Why my RCX5 sometimes not calculates a running index even all requirements are applied?
(6km/h for 12 mins and above 40% HRR)

Hi!
Running Index on RCX5
Before training make sure you select running type sport on the training computer. This is needed to calculate Running Index together with speed and heart rate data.

After training you will see Running Index both in Data → Training files on the training computer and in polarpersonaltrainer.com web service after data sync.

Also:
If you have had any abnormal heart rate readings at the beginning of the exercise, Running Index may fail even if heart rate measurement has worked fine during the rest of the exercise.

You can stop the run only once if you want your running index calculated.

Thank you very much for your explanation. I will try as your mentions.

I frequently get the message "Check GPS ....." (I don`t remember the last words on the message) when using my G5 together with my RCX5.

Is that the reason why I don`t get any Running Index after a Running-session?

Check GPS means that the HRM is not getting positional data and if it's not getting positional data it's not getting speed or distance so it can't make the caluclations required.
