Garmin 301 Guida All'Installazione Rapida

The heart rate (HR) monitor should be worn directly 

on your skin, just below the breastplate. It should be 

snug enough to stay in place during your workout. 

When positioned correctly, the Forerunner begins 

receiving heart rate data automatically, and the heart 

rate icon changes from flashing   to constant  . 

Be sure to stand at least six feet away from another 

heart rate monitor until the Forerunner begins 

receiving heart rate data.

1. Push one tab on the strap through the slot 

in the heart rate monitor. Press the tab 

down.

2. Wet both sensors on the back of the heart 

rate monitor to create a strong connection 

between your pulse and the transmitter.

3. Attach the strap to the other side of the 

heart rate monitor around your chest. 

4. Tighten or loosen the strap as necessary.

Before you can use your new Forerunner, you must 

charge the battery for three full hours. 

1. Turn the Forerunner over and 

remove the weather cap from 

the USB port on the back of 

the unit.

2. Locate the A/C Charger that 

came in the product box. 

Plug the mini USB end of the 

charger into the USB port on 

the unit. Then plug the A/C charger into a 

standard wall outlet. 

When the battery is finished charging, you should be 

able to use it for about 14 hours before recharging.
You can also recharge the Forerunner using the USB 

cable and your personal computer. See the Owner’s 

Manual for more information.
