Garmin Forerunner 301 - Running GPS Receiver Owner's manual

Forerunner™series
Whether you’re a triathlete in training or
just want to see tangible results, meet
your new personal trainer — the Garmin
Forerunner. These wrist-mounted devices
use GPS satellites to tell you how far, how
fast, even how to get home. And for
advanced training, the Forerunner 301
features a continuous heart rate monitor
so you can see whether you’re training
too hard or not hard enough. All models
in the Forerunner series are extremely
easy to use. There’s no calibration
required, so you’ll be off and running in
no time. You don’t even have to think
about starting and stopping the timer or
punching the lap button to record stats
— Forerunner does it automatically.
Personal trainers with speed, distance and pace.
