4 Rotate the crank arm to check for clearance. The sensor and bands should not contact any part of your bike or shoe. NOTE: The LED flashes green for five seconds to indicate activity after two revolutions. 5 Take a 15 minute test ride and inspect the sensor and bands to ensure there is no evidence of damage. About the Speed and Cadence Sensors Cadence data from the cadence sensor is always recorded. If no speed and cadence sensors are paired with the device, GPS data is used to calculate the speed and distance. Cadence is your rate of pedaling or "spinning" measured by the number of revolutions of the crank arm per minute (rpm). Data Averaging for Cadence or Power The non-zero data-averaging setting is available if you are training with an optional cadence sensor or power meter. The default setting excludes zero values that occur when you are not pedaling. You can change the value of this setting (Data Recording Settings, page 21). Putting On the Heart Rate Monitor NOTE: If you do not have a heart rate monitor, you can skip this task. You should wear the heart rate monitor directly on your skin, just below your sternum. It should be snug enough to stay in place during your activity. 1 Snap the heart rate monitor module onto the strap. The Garmin logos on the module and the strap should be right-side up. 2 Wet the electrodes and the contact patches on the back of the strap to create a strong connection between your chest and the transmitter. 3 Wrap the strap around your chest, and connect the strap hook to the loop . NOTE: The care tag should not fold over. The Garmin logos should be right-side up. 4 Bring the device within 3 m (10 ft.) of the heart rate monitor. After you put on the heart rate monitor, it is active and sending data. TIP: If the heart rate data is erratic or does not appear, see the troubleshooting tips (Tips for Erratic Heart Rate Data, page 16). Setting Your Heart Rate Zones The device uses your user profile information from the initial setup to determine your heart rate zones. You can manually adjust the heart rate zones according to your fitness goals (Fitness Goals, page 15). For the most accurate calorie data during your activity, you should set your maximum heart rate, resting heart rate, and heart rate zones. 1 Select My Stats > Training Zones > Heart Rate Zones. 2 Enter your maximum, lactate threshold, and resting heart rate values. You can use the auto detect feature to automatically detect your heart rate during an activity. The zone values update automatically, but you can also edit each value manually. 3 Select Based On:. 4 Select an option: • Select BPM to view and edit the zones in beats per minute. • Select % Max. to view and edit the zones as a percentage of your maximum heart rate. • Select % HRR to view and edit the zones as a percentage of your heart rate reserve (maximum heart rate minus resting heart rate). • Select %LTHR to view and edit the zones as a percentage of your lactate threshold heart rate. About Heart Rate Zones Many athletes use heart rate zones to measure and increase their cardiovascular strength and improve their level of fitness. A heart rate zone is a set range of heartbeats per minute. The five commonly accepted heart rate zones are numbered from 1 to 5 according to increasing intensity. Generally, heart rate zones are calculated based on percentages of your maximum heart rate. Fitness Goals Knowing your heart rate zones can help you measure and improve your fitness by understanding and applying these principles. • Your heart rate is a good measure of exercise intensity. • Training in certain heart rate zones can help you improve cardiovascular capacity and strength. If you know your maximum heart rate, you can use the table (Heart Rate Zone Calculations, page 27) to determine the best heart rate zone for your fitness objectives. If you do not know your maximum heart rate, use one of the calculators available on the Internet. Some gyms and health centers can provide a test that measures maximum heart rate. The default maximum heart rate is 220 minus your age. Wireless Sensors 15
