There are two sensors on the GSC 10: one for cadence and one for speed. Calibrating the Bike Sensor Before you customize the bike sensor options, you must change your sport to cycling (page 17). Before you can calibrate the bike sensor, it must be properly installed and actively recording data. For calibration instructions specific to your bike sensor, refer to the manufacturer's instructions. Forerunner 610 Owner's Manual > Setup > Bike Sensor 1.

About Lifetime Athletes The lifetime athlete setting affects certain weight scale calculations. A lifetime athlete is an individual who has trained intensely for many years (with the exception of minor injuries) and has a resting heart rate of 60 beats per minute (bpm) or less. Fitness Equipment ANT+ technology automatically links your Forerunner and heart rate monitor to fitness equipment so you can view your data on the equipment console. Look for the ANT+ Link Here logo on compatible fitness equipment.

Solution Make sure that it is compatible with the Forerunner (www. garmin. com/intosports). · · · · · Make sure that the heart rate monitor is snug against your body. Dirt and sweat residue on the electrodes can interfere with heart rate signals. Synthetic fabrics that rub or flap against the heart rate monitor can create static electricity that interferes with heart rate signals. Move away from sources of strong electromagnetic fields and some 2. 4 GHz wireless sensors, which can interfere with your heart rate monitor. Sources of interference may include highvoltage power lines, electric motors, microwave ovens, 2. 4 GHz cordless phones, and wireless LAN access points. · 26 Forerunner 610 Owner's Manual History History Your Forerunner stores data based on the type of activity, the accessories used, and your training settings.
