Replacing the Battery

The heart rate monitor contains a user-replaceable CR2032
battery. Be sure to dispose of it properly. To replace the battery,
locate the circular battery cover on the back of the heart rate
monitor. Use a coin to twist the cover counter-clockwise until it
is loose enough to remove. Remove the cover and replace the
battery. Be careful not to damage or lose the o-ring gasket on the
cover. Then use a coin to twist the cover back into place.

What is pairing?

Pairing is the process of matching sensors, like your heart rate
monitor, with your compatible GPS device. This process occurs
automatically when you turn on your GPS device and only takes
a few seconds when the sensors are functioning correctly. Once
paired, your GPS device will only receive data from your sensor.

Pairing tips:

• Position your GPS device within 3 meters of the sensor while
pairing.

• Stay far away from any other sensors while pairing.

• Restart scan if your GPS device appears to be paired with
another sensor.

• Make sure to enable the sensors on your GPS device.

• Reapply moisture to the sensors on the heart rate monitor. Use
electrode gel, water, or saliva.

• Replace the battery.

• Clean the sensors. Dirt and sweat build-up on the sensor can
weaken signals.
