Wrap the strap around your chest, and connect the strap 

hook 

Ã

 to the loop.

The Garmin logo should be right-side up.

Bring the device within range (3 m) of the heart rate monitor.

After you put on the heart rate monitor, it is on standby and 

ready to send data.
TIP: If the heart rate data is erratic or does not appear, see 

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.

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.

• Knowing your heart rate zones can prevent you from 

overtraining and can decrease your risk of injury.

If you know your maximum heart rate, you can use the table 

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.

Before the device can determine your heart rate zones, you 

must set up your fitness user profile (

).

You can manually adjust the heart rate zones according to your 

fitness goals (

Select the action key.

Select Setup > Fitness > HR Zones.

Enter the maximum and minimum heart rate for zone 5.

Enter your minimum heart rate for zones 4-1.
The maximum heart rate for each zone is based on the 

minimum heart rate of the previous zone. For example, if you 

enter 167 as a minimum heart rate for zone 5, the device 

uses 166 as the maximum rate for zone 4.

If the heart rate data is erratic or does not appear, you can try 

these tips.
• Reapply moisture to the electrodes and contact patch.

You can use water, saliva, or electrode gel.

• Tighten the strap on your chest.
• Warm up for 5–10 minutes.
• Wash the strap after every seven uses (

).

• 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 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.

• Replace the battery (

).

Do not use a sharp object to remove user-replaceable batteries.
Contact your local waste disposal department to properly 

recycle the batteries. Perchlorate Material – special handling 

may apply. Go to 

Use a small Phillips screwdriver to remove the four screws 

on the back of the module.

Remove the cover and battery.

Wait 30 seconds.

Insert the new battery with the positive side facing up.
NOTE: Do not damage or lose the O-ring gasket.

Replace the back cover and the four screws.
NOTE: Do not overtighten.

After you replace the heart rate monitor battery, you may need 

to pair it with the device again.

You must unsnap and remove the module before cleaning the 

strap.
A build up of sweat and salt on the strap can decrease the 

ability of the heart rate monitor to report accurate data.

• Go to 

 for detailed washing 

instructions.

• Rinse the strap after every use.
• Machine wash the strap after every seven uses.
• Do not put the strap in a dryer.
• When drying the strap, hang it up or lay it flat.
• To prolong the life of your heart rate monitor, unsnap the 

module when not in use.

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.
