EN WARNING: See the Important Safety and Product Information in
the Garmin product box for product warnings and other important

Positioning the Heart Rate Monitor

send data. Wear the heart rate monitor directly on
your skin, just below your breastplate. It should be
snug enough to stay in place during your run.
1. Snap one side of the strap to the heart rate
monitor module.
2. Wet both electrodes on the back of the heart
rate monitor strap to create a strong connection
between your chest and the transmitter.
3. Wrap the strap around your chest, and snap it
to the other side of the module.
NOTE: The Garmin logo should be right-side
up.

appear, you may have to tighten the strap on your
chest or warm up for 5–10 minutes.
Pairing the Heart Rate Monitor

tness equipment so you can view
