Introduction

Caring for the Forerunner

Clean the Forerunner and the heart rate monitor using a cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution. Wipe dry. Avoid chemical cleaners and solvents that may damage plastic components.
Do not store the Forerunner where prolonged exposure to temperature extremes may occur (such as in the trunk of a car), as permanent damage may result.
User information, such as history, locations, and tracks, is retained
indenitely in the memory of the unit
without the need for external power. Back up important user data by transferring it to Garmin Connect or Garmin Training Center. See page 9.
DRAFT
Water Immersion
The Forerunner is waterproof to IEC Standard 60529 IPX7. It can withstand immersion in 1 meter of water for 30 minutes. Prolonged submersion can cause damage to the unit. After submersion, be certain to wipe dry and air dry the unit before using or charging.
CAUTION: The Forerunner
is not intended to be used while swimming. Swimming or prolonged water submersion can cause a short in the unit, which can in rare cases result in a minor skin burn or irritation in the area of the unit.

For information about putting on the heart rate monitor, see page 5.
Heart Rate Monitor Tips
If you are noticing inaccurate or erratic heart rate data, use the following tips.
Make sure the heart rate monitor
• is snug against your body.
Reapply water, saliva, or
• electrode gel to the sensors.
Clean the sensors. Dirt and
• sweat residue on the sensors can interfere with heart rate signals.
Wear a cotton shirt or wet your
• shirt if suitable for your activity.
Synthetic fabrics that rub or ap

against the heart rate monitor can create static electricity that interferes with heart rate signals.
Move away from sources of
•
strong electromagnetic elds and
some 2.4 GHz wireless sensors, which can interfere with your heart rate monitor. Sources of interference may include very high voltage power lines, electric motors, microwave ovens,
2.4 GHz cordless phones, and wireless LAN access points.
Heart Rate Zones
CAUTION: Consult your
physician to specify heart rate zones/targets that are
appropriate for your tness
level and health condition.
Many athletes are using heart rate zones to measure and increase their
DRAFT
Using Accessories
cardiovascular strength and improve
their level of tness. A heart rate
zone is a set range of heartbeats per
minute. The ve commonly accepted
heart rate zones are numbered from 1–5 according to increasing intensity. The Forerunner sets the heart rate zone ranges based on your maximum
heart rate set in your user prole.
The Forerunner sets the heart rate zone ranges based on your maximum
heart rate set in your user prole,
according to the table on page 43.
You can also customize your heart
rate zones in your user prole of
Garmin Connect or Garmin Training Center. After customizing your heart rate zones, transfer data to your Forerunner.
Forerunner 405 Owner’s Manual 33
Page 40
Using Accessories
How Do Heart Rate Zones Affect Your Fitness Goals?
Knowing your heart rate zones can help you measure and improve
your tness 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 decrease your risk of injury.
Heart Rate Monitor Battery
The heart rate monitor contains a user-replaceable CR2032 battery.
DRAFT
NOTE: Contact your local
waste disposal department to properly dispose of batteries.
To replace the battery:
1. Locate the circular battery cover on the back of the heart rate monitor.
2. Use a coin to twist the cover counter-clockwise so the arrow on the cover points to OPEN.
3. Remove the cover and replace the battery with the positive side facing up.
NOTE: Be careful not to
damage or lose the O-ring gasket on the cover.

4. Use a coin to twist the cover clockwise so the arrow on the cover points to CLOSE.

Foot Pod

Your Forerunner is compatible with the foot pod. You can use the foot pod to send data for your Forerunner when training indoors or when your GPS signal is weak or you lose satellite signals. The foot pod is on standby and ready to send data (like the heart rate monitor). You must pair the foot pod with your Forerunner. See page 31.
Calibrating the Foot Pod
Calibrating your foot pod is optional and can improve accuracy. There are three ways to adjust the calibration: distance, GPS, and manual.
DRAFT
Using Accessories
Distance Calibration
For best results, the foot pod should be calibrated using the inside lane of a regulation track. A regulation track (2 laps = 800 m) is more accurate than a treadmill.

Troubleshooting

Problem Solution/Answer
Unlock the bezel: press enter and quit simultaneously.
The bezel is not responding to my taps.
My Forerunner never gets satellite signals.
The battery gauge does not seem accurate.
The heart rate monitor, foot pod, or GSC 10 will not pair with the Forerunner.
The heart rate data is inaccurate.
Press rmly on the bezel for the best results.
Tap the outer ring on the bezel, not the inner ring near the watch face.
Adjust the sensitivity setting (see page 28). Touch and hold GPS. Make sure GPS is set to On.
Take your Forerunner outside and away from tall buildings. Remain stationary for several minutes.
Allow the Forerunner to fully discharge, and then fully charge it (without interrupting the charge cycle).
Stay 10 m away from other ANT+Sport accessories while pairing.
Bring the Forerunner within range (3 m) of the sensor while pairing.
Restart the scan for the accessory (see page 31). Make sure the accessory is sending data (for example,
you need to be wearing the heart rate monitor). If the problem persists, replace the battery in the
accessory.
