APPENDIX Sensor Pairing What is pairing? Pairing is the process of matching sensors, like your heart rate monitor and GSC10, with your Edge 305. This process occurs automatically when you turn on the Edge and only takes a few seconds when the sensors are on and functioning correctly. Once paired, your Edge will only receive data from your sensor. How does it work? Upon power up, the Edge will automatically scan for the sensors you have enabled during intial setup (see page 12) or accessories setup (see page 59). Each sensor has a unique ID. The Edge learns and saves this unique ID while pairing the first 74 time. The next time you turn the Edge on, it will only pair with the unique sensor ID. If the Edge does not find the sensor, you should restart the scan to find your sensor ID. Interference Strong electromagnetic fields can interfere with your heart rate monitor and cause your heart rate to appear unusually high, freeze, or disappear. Common sources of interference include high voltage power lines, electric motors, computers, televisions, and mobile phones. After you move away from the source of interference, your heart rate reading should return to normal. Edge™ 205/305 Owner's Manual

Sensor Pairing
What is pairing?
Pairing is the process of matching
sensors, like your heart rate
monitor and GSC10, with your
Edge 305. This process occurs
automatically when you turn on
the Edge and only takes a few
seconds when the sensors are
on and functioning correctly.
Once paired, your Edge will only
receive data from your sensor.
How does it work?
Upon power up, the Edge
will automatically scan for the
sensors you have enabled during
intial setup (see
page 12
) or
accessories setup (see
page 59
).
Each sensor has a unique ID.
The Edge learns and saves this
unique ID while pairing the first
time. The next time you turn the
Edge on, it will only pair with the
unique sensor ID. If the Edge
does not find the sensor, you
should restart the scan to find
your sensor ID.
Interference
Strong electromagnetic fields
can interfere with your heart rate
monitor and cause your heart
rate to appear unusually high,
freeze, or disappear. Common
sources of interference include
high voltage power lines, electric
motors, computers, televisions,
and mobile phones. After you
move away from the source of
interference, your heart rate
reading should return to normal.
