About Heart Rate Zones



CAUTION

Consult your physician to specify heart
rate zones that are appropriate for your

tness level and health condition.

Many athletes use heart rate zones
to measure and increase their
cardiovascular strength and improve

their level of tness. A heart rate zone
is a specied range of heartbeats per
minute. The ve commonly accepted

heart rate zones are numbered from 1
to 5 according to increasing intensity.

How do heart rate zones affect your
tness 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 specic heart rate

•

zones can help you improve

Edge 800 Owner’s Manual 21

D R A F T

cardiovascular capacity and
strength.

Knowing your heart rate zones can

•
prevent you from overtraining and
can decrease your risk of injury.

Replacing the Heart Rate
Monitor Battery (SS)

The heart rate monitor contains a
user-replaceable CR2032 battery.

NOTE: Contact your local waste
disposal department to properly
dispose of batteries.

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.

About the GSC 10

Cadence data from the GSC 10 is
always recorded. If there is no GSC 10
paired, GPS data is used to calculate

the speed and distance.

Cadence is your rate of pedaling or
“spinning” measured by the number of
revolutions of the crank arm per minute
(rpm). There are two sensors on the
GSC 10: one for cadence and one for
speed.

For information about cadence alerts,
see page 6.

Non-Zero Averaging for

Cadence Data

The non-zero data-averaging setting
is available if you are training with an

not automatically delete or overwrite
your history. See page 32 to learn how
to delete history.

Upload your history (page 31) to
Garmin Connect or Garmin Training

Troubleshooting

Problem Solution

The buttons do not
respond. How do I
reset the Edge?

I want to clear all the
user data from my
Edge.

My Edge does not
acquire satellite
signals.

The battery gauge
does not seem
accurate.

The battery does not
last long.

How do I know my
Edge is in USB mass
storage mode?

Press and hold POWER, MENU, and RESET simultaneously
to reset the Edge.

NOTE: This does not erase any of your data or settings.

1. Turn off the Edge.

2. Press and hold POWER and RESET until the message
appears.

3. Select Yes to clear all user data.

NOTE: This deletes all user-entered information, but it does not
delete your history.

1. Take your Edge out of parking garages and away from tall
buildings and trees.

2. Turn on the Edge.

3. Remain stationary for several minutes.

Allow the Edge battery to fully discharge, and then fully charge
the battery (without interrupting the charge cycle).

Reduce the backlight time (page 49).

You should see a new removable disk drive in My Computer

D R A F T

on Windows computers and a mounted volume on Mac
computers.

58 Edge 800 Owner’s Manual

Problem Solution

My Edge is connected
to the computer, but it
will not go into mass
storage mode.

I cannot see any new
removable drives in
my list of drives.

My course le was

renamed.

Some of my data is
missing from my

Edge history.

I need to replace the
bands for the mount.

You may have loaded a corrupted le.

1. Disconnect the Edge from your computer.

2. Turn off the Edge.

3. Press and hold MENU while you connect the Edge to your

computer.

Continue pressing MENU for 10 seconds or until the Edge

goes into mass storage mode.

If you have several network drives mapped on your computer,
Windows may have trouble assigning drive letters to your

Garmin drives. See the Help le for your operating system to

learn how to assign drive letters.

You can load .tcx and .crs les to the Edge. When you select
the course for any reason, the le is converted to a .t course
le.

When the Edge memory is full, it will no longer record data.
Transfer data to your computer regularly to avoid losing data.

Go to http://buy.garmin.com, or contact your Garmin dealer.
Purchase bands made of EPDM only.
