ANT+ Sensors ANT+ Sensor Troubleshooting Problem I have a third-party ANT+ sensor. I changed the battery in my accessory. The heart rate data is inaccurate or erratic. Solution Make sure that it is compatible with the Forerunner (www.garmin.com/intosports). You must pair the sensor to your Forerunner again (page 18). • Make sure that the heart rate monitor is snug against your body. • Warm up for 5-10 minutes. • Reapply moisture to the electrodes. Use water, saliva, or electrode gel. • Clean the electrodes. Dirt and sweat residue on the electrodes can interfere with heart rate signals. • Wear a cotton shirt or wet your shirt if suitable for your activity. Synthetic fabrics that rub or flap against the heart rate monitor can create static electricity that interferes with heart rate signals. • Move away from sources of strong electromagnetic fields and some 2.4 GHz wireless sensors, which can interfere with your heart rate monitor. Sources of interference may include highvoltage power lines, electric motors, microwave ovens, 2.4 GHz cordless phones, and wireless LAN access points. 26 Forerunner 610 Owner's Manual

Troubleshooting
Problem
Solution
I have a third-party
ANT+ sensor.
Make sure that it is compatible with the Forerunner
(
www.garmin.com/intosports
).
I changed the battery
in my accessory.
You must pair the sensor to your Forerunner again (
page 18
).
The heart rate data is
inaccurate or erratic.
Make sure that the heart rate monitor is snug against your body.
Warm up for 5–10 minutes.
Reapply moisture to the electrodes. Use water, saliva, or
electrode gel.
Clean the electrodes. Dirt and sweat residue on the electrodes
can interfere with heart rate signals.
Wear a cotton shirt or wet your shirt if suitable for your activity.
Synthetic fabrics that rub or flap against the heart rate monitor
can create static electricity that interferes with heart rate
signals.
Move away from sources of strong electromagnetic fields and
some 2.4 GHz wireless sensors, which can interfere with your
heart rate monitor. Sources of interference may include high-
voltage power lines, electric motors, microwave ovens, 2.4 GHz
cordless phones, and wireless LAN access points.
