3 Wrap the strap around your chest, and connect the strap hook to the loop . Ã Ä NOTE: The care tag should not fold over. 3 Adjust the calibration factor: • Increase the calibration factor if your distance is too low. • Decrease the calibration factor if your distance is too high. Using an Optional Bike Cadence Sensor You can use a compatible bike cadence sensor to send data to your device. • Pair the sensor with your device (Pairing ANT+ Sensors). • Update your fitness user profile information (Setting Up Your User Profile). • Go for a ride (Going for a Ride). Device Information 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). Tips for Erratic Heart Rate Data If the heart rate data is erratic or does not appear, you can try these tips. • Reapply water to the electrodes and contact patches. • Tighten the strap on your chest. • Warm up for 5-10 minutes. • Follow the care instructions (Caring for the Heart Rate Monitor). • Wear a cotton shirt or thoroughly wet both sides of the strap. 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 that can interfere with your heart rate monitor. Sources of interference may include strong electromagnetic fields, some 2.4 GHz wireless sensors, high-voltage power lines, electric motors, ovens, microwave ovens, 2.4 GHz cordless phones, and wireless LAN access points. Foot Pod Your device is compatible with the foot pod. You can use the foot pod to record pace and distance instead of using GPS when you are training indoors or when your GPS signal is weak. The foot pod is on standby and ready to send data (like the heart rate monitor). After 30 minutes of inactivity, the foot pod powers off to conserve the battery. When the battery is low, a message appears on your device. Approximately five hours of battery life remain. Foot Pod Calibration The foot pod is self-calibrating. The accuracy of the speed and distance data improves after a few outdoor runs using GPS. Calibrating Your Foot Pod Manually Before you can calibrate your device, you must pair your device with the foot pod (Pairing ANT+ Sensors). Manual calibration is recommended if you know your calibration factor. If you have calibrated a foot pod with another Garmin product, you may know your calibration factor. 1 Hold UP. 2 Select Settings > Sensors > Foot Pod > Calibrate > Manual.
