ANT+ Sensor Troubleshooting

Problem

Solution

I have a third-party

ANT+ sensor.

Make sure that it is compatible with the Forerunner

(

www.garmin.com/intosports

).

I changed the battery in

my accessory.

You must pair the sensor to your Forerunner again (

page 22

).

The heart rate data is

inaccurate or erratic.

• Make sure that the heart rate monitor is snug against your body.

• Warm up for 5–10 minutes.

• Reapply moisture to the electrodes and contact patch. Use water,

saliva, or electrode gel.

• Wash the strap after every seven uses (

page 42

).

• 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 of strong electromagnetic fields and

some 2.4 GHz wireless sensors, which can interfere with your

heart rate monitor. Sources of interference may include high-

voltage power lines, electric motors, microwave ovens, 2.4 GHz

cordless phones, and wireless LAN access points.
