Clean the Forerunner and accessories
using a cloth dampened with a mild
detergent solution, and then wipe
dry. Avoid chemical cleaners and
solvents that may damage plastic
components.
Do not store the Forerunner and
accessories where prolonged
exposure to temperature extremes
may occur (such as in the trunk of
a car), as permanent damage may
result.

Troubleshooting
Problem Solution/Answer
The buttons don’t
respond. How do I
reset the Forerunner?
CAUTION: This procedure deletes all information that you have
entered. Press view, mode, and start/stop simultaneously
to reset the Forerunner software. This restores the factory
settings. Workout data is deleted. You must reset the time and
custom settings. If you are still having problems, remove and
then replace the battery (see page 26).
How do I set the time
to AM or PM?
Verify that the time mode is set to 12-H (12 hour). Use + and
- to select the correct hour. The A or P icon appears above the
seconds on the Time page. For more information, see page 3.
The Forerunner will
not send data to my
computer.
See page 17 to enable computer pairing.
The heart rate
monitor or foot pod
will not pair with the
Forerunner.
Stay 10 m away from other ANT sensors while pairing.
Bring the Forerunner within range (3 m) of the heart rate
monitor while pairing.
If the problem persists, replace the battery.

Problem Solution/Answer
The heart rate data is
inaccurate or erratic.
Make sure the heart rate monitor is snug against your body.
Warm up for 5–10 minutes. If the problem persists, continue
with the following suggestions.
Reapply moisture to the sensors. Use water, saliva, or
electrode gel. Clean the sensors. Dirt and sweat residue on
the sensor can interfere with heart rate signals.
Syntheticfabricsthatruborapagainsttheheartrate
monitor can create static electricity that interferes with heart
rate signals. Wear a cotton shirt or wet your shirt if suitable
for your activity.
Position the heart rate monitor on your back instead of your
chest.
Strongelectromagneticeldsandsome2.4GHzwireless
sensors 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. After you move
away from the source of interference, your heart rate data
should return to normal.
