    Make sure the heart rate monitoris snug against your body.

    Reapply water, saliva, orelectrode gel to the electrodes.

    Clean the electrodes. Dirt andsweat residue can interfere withheart rate signals.

    Wear a cotton shirt or wet yourshirt if suitable for your activity.

    Synthetic fabrics that rub or apagainst the heart rate monitorcan create static electricity thatinterferes with heart rate signals.

    some 2.4 GHz wireless sensors,which can interfere with your

    heart rate monitor. Sources ofinterference may include veryhigh voltage power lines, electricmotors, microwave ovens,2.4 GHz cordless phones, andwireless LAN access points.

    Heart Rate Zones

      CAUTION: Consult your physician to specify heart ratezones/targets that are appropriatefor your tness level and health

    condition.

    Many athletes are using heart ratezones to measure and increase theircardiovascular strength and improvetheir level of tness. A heart rate

    zone is a set range of heartbeats perminute. The ve commonly acceptedheart rate zones are numbered from1–5 according to increasing intensity.The Forerunner sets the heart rate

    zone ranges (see the table on page

    45) based on your maximum andresting heart rates set in your user

     prole (see  page 28).You can also customize your heartrate zones in your user prole ofGarmin Connect or Garmin TrainingCenter. After customizing your heart

    rate zones, transfer data to yourForerunner.

    How Do Heart Rate ZonesAffect Your Fitness Goals?

    Knowing your heart rate zones can

    help you measure and improveyour tness by understanding andapplying these principles:

    Your heart rate is a good measureof exercise intensity.

    Training in certain heart ratezones can help you improvecardiovascular capacity andstrength.

    risk of injury.Heart Rate Monitor BatteryThe heart rate monitor contains auser-replaceable CR2032 battery.

    NOTE: Contact your local wastedisposal department to properlydispose of batteries.

    To replace the battery:1. Locate the circular battery cover

    on the back of the heart rate

    Foot PodYour Forerunner is compatible with

    the foot pod. You can use the foot pod to send data for your Forerunnerwhen training indoors or when yourGPS signal is weak or you losesatellite signals. The foot pod ison standby and ready to send data(like the heart rate monitor). Youmust pair the foot pod with yourForerunner. See page 33.

    Calibrating the Foot Pod

    Calibrating your foot pod is optionaland can improve accuracy. There arethree ways to adjust the calibration:distance, GPS, and manual.

    Distance Calibration

    For best results, the foot pod should

     be calibrated using the inside lane ofa regulation track. A regulation track(2 laps = 800 m) is more accuratethan a treadmill.

    Troubleshooting

    Problem Solution/Answer  

    The bezel is notresponding to my taps.

    Unlock the bezel: press enter  and quit simultaneously. Pressrmly on the bezel for the best results. Tap the outer ring onthe bezel, not the inner ring near the watch face. Adjust thesensitivity setting (see page 30).

    My Forerunner nevergets satellite signals.

    Touch and hold GPS. Make sure GPS is set to On.

    Take your Forerunner outside and away from tall buildings.

    Remain stationary for several minutes.The battery gaugedoes not seemaccurate.

     Allow the Forerunner to fully discharge, and then fully charge it(without interrupting the charge cycle).

    The heart rate monitor,

    foot pod, or GSC 10will not pair with theForerunner.

    Stay 10 m away from other ANT+ accessories while pairing.Bring the Forerunner within range (3 m) of the sensor while

    pairing. Restart the scan for the accessory (see page 33). Makesure the accessory is sending data (for example, you need tobe wearing the heart rate monitor). If the problem persists,replace the battery in the accessory.

    The heart rate data isinaccurate.

    See page 34.

    The heart rate monitorstrap is too big.

     A smaller elastic strap is sold separately. Go tohttp://buy.garmin.com.

    Some of my datais missing from myForerunner.

    The Forerunner overwrites the oldest detailed data if you donot transfer it to your computer. Transfer data regularly to avoidlosing data.
