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.
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.

Using Accessories

The following ANT+ accessories are compatible with the Forerunner 405:
Heart rate monitor
Foot pod
GSC™ 10 speed and cadence bike
• sensor
USB ANT Stick (see page 8 and
page 31)
To purchase accessories, go to
http://buy.garmin.com or contact
your Garmin dealer.
Using Accessories
Pairing is connecting ANT+ accessories, such as the heart rate monitor, with your Forerunner. The pairing process only takes a few seconds when the accessories are activated and functioning correctly. When paired, your Forerunner only receives data from your accessory, even if you are near other accessories.
After you pair the rst time, your
Forerunner automatically recognizes your accessory each time the accessory is activated.

Pairing Accessories

If you purchased an accessory with ANT+ wireless technology, you need to pair it with your Forerunner.
Forerunner 405 Owner’s Manual 33
To pair accessories:
1. Move away (10 m) from other accessories. Bring the accessory to be paired within range (3 m) of the Forerunner.
2. Touch and hold

Status Icons
When in training mode, the icon for the accessory blinks as the Forerunner scans for the new accessory. The icon is solid when the accessory is paired.
Heart rate monitor active
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 electrodes.
Clean the electrodes. Dirt and
• sweat residue can interfere with heart rate signals.
Wear a cotton shirt or wet your
• shirt if suitable for your activity.
34 Forerunner 405 Owner’s Manual
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.
Using Accessories
Many athletes are using heart rate zones to measure and increase their 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 (see the table on page
45) based on your maximum and
resting heart rates set in your user
prole (see page 29).
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 35
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.
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.
36 Forerunner 405 Owner’s Manual
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 33.
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.
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.
1. Touch and hold menu > select
Settings > ANT+ > Accessories
> Foot Pod > Calibrate >

Forerunner 405 Owner’s Manual 37
Using Accessories
3. Run or walk approximately 1000 m. The Forerunner informs you that you have traveled far enough.
Manual Calibration
If your foot pod distance seems slightly high or low each time you run, you can manually adjust the calibration factor.
Touch and hold menu > select
Settings > ANT+ > Accessories
> Foot Pod > Cal Factor. Adjust the calibration factor. Increase the calibration factor if your distance is too low; decrease the calibration factor if your distance is too high.

GSC 10

Your Forerunner is compatible with the GSC 10 speed and cadence bike sensor. You must pair the GSC 10 with your Forerunner. See page 33.
Calibrating the Bike Sensor
Calibrating your bike sensor is optional and can improve accuracy.
1. Touch and hold menu > select

Troubleshooting

Problem Solution/Answer
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.
The heart rate monitor strap is too big.
Unlock the bezel: press enter and quit simultaneously.
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 30).
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+ accessories while pairing. Bring the Forerunner within range (3 m) of the sensor while pairing. Restart the scan for the accessory (see page 33). 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.
