Problem Solution
I have a third-party
ANT+ sensor.
Make sure that it is compatible with the Forerunner
(www.garmin.com/intosports).
I changed the battery
in my accessory.
You must pair the sensor to your Forerunner again (page 18).
The heart rate data is
inaccurate or erratic.
• Make sure that the heart rate monitor is snug against your body.
• Warm up for 5–10 minutes.
• Reapply moisture to the electrodes. Use water, saliva, or
electrode gel.
• Clean the electrodes. Dirt and sweat residue on the electrodes
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 high-
voltage power lines, electric motors, microwave ovens, 2.4 GHz
cordless phones, and wireless LAN access points.
