Before you can pair, you must put on the heart rate monitor or 

install the sensor.
Pairing is the connecting of ANT+ wireless sensors, for example,

NOTE: Stay 10 m away from other ANT+ sensors while 

pairing.

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
