Do not use a sharp object to clean the device.
Never use a hard or sharp object to operate the touchscreen, or 

damage may result.
Avoid chemical cleaners, solvents, and insect repellents that can 

damage plastic components and finishes.
Thoroughly rinse the device with fresh water after exposure to 

chlorine, salt water, sunscreen, cosmetics, alcohol, or other 

harsh chemicals. Prolonged exposure to these substances can 

damage the case.
Do not store the device where prolonged exposure to extreme 

temperatures can occur, because it can cause permanent 

damage.

Even small amounts of sweat or moisture can cause corrosion 

of the electrical contacts when connected to a charger. 

Corrosion can prevent charging and data transfer.

Wipe the device using a cloth dampened with a mild 

detergent solution.

Wipe it dry.

After cleaning, allow the device to dry completely.

You must unsnap and remove the module before washing 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 

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.

Some data fields require ANT+ accessories to display data.
%HRR: The percentage of heart rate reserve (maximum heart 

rate minus resting heart rate).

24-Hour Max.: The maximum temperature recorded in the last 

24 hours.

24-Hour Min.: The minimum temperature recorded in the last 

24 hours.

30s Avg. Vertical Speed: The 30-second moving average of 

vertical speed.

Average %HRR: The average percentage of heart rate reserve 

(maximum heart rate minus resting heart rate) for the current 

activity.

Average Cadence: Cycling. The average cadence for the 

current activity.

Average Cadence: Running. The average cadence for the 

current activity.

Average HR: The average heart rate for the current activity.
Average HR %Max.: The average percentage of maximum 

heart rate for the current activity.

Average Lap Time: The average lap time for the current 

activity.

Average Pace: The average pace for the current activity.

Average Speed: The average speed for the current activity.
Average Stroke Rate: The average number of strokes per 

minute (spm) during the current activity.

Average Strokes/Length: The average number of strokes per 

length during the current activity.

Average SWOLF: The average swolf score for the current 

activity. Your swolf score is the sum of the time for one length 

plus the number of strokes for that length (

).

Cadence: Cycling. The number of revolutions of the crank arm. 

Your device must be connected to a cadence accessory for 

this data to appear.

Cadence: Running. The steps per minute (right and left).
Calories: The amount of total calories burned.
Distance: The distance traveled for the current track or activity.
Elapsed Time: The total time recorded. For example, if you start 

the timer and run for 10 minutes, then stop the timer for 5 

minutes, then start the timer and run for 20 minutes, your 

elapsed time is 35 minutes.

Elevation: The altitude of your current location above or below 

sea level.

Heading: The direction you are moving.
Heart Rate: Your heart rate in beats per minute (bpm). Your 

device must be connected to a compatible heart rate monitor.

HR %Max.: The percentage of maximum heart rate.
HR Zone: The current range of your heart rate (1 to 5). The 

default zones are based on your user profile and maximum 

heart rate (220 minus your age).

Interval Distance: The distance traveled for the current interval.
Interval Lengths: The number of pool lengths completed during 

the current interval.

Interval Pace: The average pace for the current interval.
Interval Stroke Rate: The average number of strokes per 

minute (spm) during the current interval.

Interval Strokes/Length: The average number of strokes per 

length during the current interval.

Interval SWOLF: The average swolf score for the current 

interval.

Interval Time: The stopwatch time for the current interval.
Lap %HRR: The average percentage of heart rate reserve 

(maximum heart rate minus resting heart rate) for the current 

lap.

Lap Cadence: Cycling. The average cadence for the current 

lap.

Lap Cadence: Running. The average cadence for the current 

lap.

Lap Distance: The distance traveled for the current lap.
Lap HR: The average heart rate for the current lap.
Lap HR %Max.: The average percentage of maximum heart 

rate for the current lap.

Lap Pace: The average pace for the current lap.
Laps: The number of laps completed for the current activity.
Lap Speed: The average speed for the current lap.
Lap Time: The stopwatch time for the current lap.
Last Lap Cadence: Cycling. The average cadence for the last 

completed lap.

Last Lap Cadence: Running. The average cadence for the last 

completed lap.

Last Lap Distance: The distance traveled for the last completed 

lap.

Last Lap Pace: The average pace for the last completed lap.
