Heart Rate Monitor

Troubleshooting

If you have trouble pairing with

the heart rate monitor, or if your

heart rate readings are erratic, try

the following suggestions.
• Position the Forerunner within

3 meters of the sensor while

pairing.

• Stay far away from any other

sensors while pairing.

• Move away from sources of

interference (see the previous

page).

• Restart scan if your

Forerunner appears to be

paired with another sensor

(see

page 46)

.

• Make sure scanning for the

heart rate monitor is enabled

(see

page 46)

.

• Replace the battery.
• Clean the sensors. Dirt and

sweat build-up on the sensors

can weaken signals.

• Reapply moisture. Use

electrode gel, water, or saliva.

• Make sure the heart rate

monitor is snug against your

body. If you have trouble with

erratic readings, position the

transmitter on your back.

• Wear a cotton shirt, or wet

your shirt. Synthetic fabrics

that rub or flap against the

heart rate monitor can create

static electricity that interferes

with heart rate signals.
