You can send a course from your Garmin Connect account to 

your device. After it is saved to your device, you can navigate 

the course on your device.
You can follow a saved course simply because it is a good

commute to work. You can also follow a saved course, trying to 

match or exceed previously set performance goals.

The heart rate monitor may cause chafing when used for long 

periods of time. To alleviate this issue, apply an anti-friction 

lubricant or gel to the center of the module where it contacts 

your skin. Do not apply anti-friction gel or lubricant on the 

electrodes. Do not use gels or lubricants that contain sunscreen.

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.

Push one tab 

À

 of the strap through the slot 

Á

 in the heart 

rate monitor module.

Press the tab down.

Wet the electrodes 

Â

 on the back of the module to create a 

strong connection between your chest and the heart rate 

monitor module.

Wrap the strap around your chest and attach it to the other 

side of the heart rate monitor module.
