DRAFTForerunner 405 Owner’s Manual 31Using AccessoriesUsing AccessoriesThe following ANT+Sport accessories are compatible with the Forerunner 405:Heart rate monitorFoot PodGSC 10 speed and cadence bike sensorUSB ANT stick (see page 29)To purchase accessories, go to http://buy.garmin.com or contact your Garmin dealer.Pairing AccessoriesIf you purchased an accessory with ANT+Sport wireless technology, you need to pair it with your Forerunner.Pairing is connecting ANT+Sport accessories, such as the heart rate ••••monitor, with your Forerunner. The pairing process only takes a few seconds when the accessories are activated and functioning correctly. When paired, your Forerunner only receives data from your accessory, even if you are near other accessories. After you pair the rst time, your Forerunner automatically recognizes your accessory each time the accessory is activated. To pair accessories:1. Move away (10 m) from other accessories. Bring the accessory to be paired within range (3 m) of the Forerunner.2. Touch and hold menu > select Settings > ANT+Sport > Accessories.3. Select your accessory.

TIP: The accessory needs to send data to complete the pairing process. You need to wear the heart rate monitor, take a step wearing the foot pod, or pedal your bike with the GSC 10. Status IconsWhen in training mode, the icon for the accessory blinks as the Forerunner scans for the new accessory. The icon is solid when the accessory is paired.Heart rate monitor activeSpeed and cadence sensor activeFoot pod activeHeart Rate MonitorFor information about putting on the heart rate monitor, see page 5. Heart Rate Monitor TipsIf you are noticing inaccurate or erratic heart rate data, use the following tips.Make sure the heart rate monitor is snug against your body. Reapply water, saliva, or electrode gel to the sensors. Clean the sensors. Dirt and sweat residue on the sensors 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 ••••

DRAFTForerunner 405 Owner’s Manual 33Using Accessoriesagainst 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 very high voltage power lines, electric motors, microwave ovens, 2.4 GHz cordless phones, and wireless LAN access points. Heart Rate Zones CAUTION: Consult your physician to specify heart rate zones/targets that are appropriate for your tness level and health condition. Many athletes are using heart rate zones to measure and increase their •cardiovascular strength and improve their level of tness. A heart rate zone is a set range of heartbeats per minute. The ve commonly accepted heart rate zones are numbered from 1–5 according to increasing intensity. The Forerunner sets the heart rate zone ranges based on your maximum heart rate set in your user prole. The Forerunner sets the heart rate zone ranges based on your maximum heart rate set in your user prole, according to the table on page 43.You can also customize your heart rate zones in your user prole of Garmin Connect or Garmin Training Center. After customizing your heart rate zones, transfer data to your Forerunner.

DRAFT34 Forerunner 405 Owner’s ManualUsing AccessoriesHow Do Heart Rate Zones Affect Your Fitness Goals?Knowing your heart rate zones can help you measure and improve your tness by understanding and applying these principles:Your heart rate is a good measure of exercise intensity.Training in certain heart rate zones can help you improve cardiovascular capacity and strength.Knowing your heart rate zones can prevent you from overtraining and decrease your risk of injury.Heart Rate Monitor BatteryThe heart rate monitor contains a user-replaceable CR2032 battery. ••• NOTE: Contact your local waste disposal department to properly dispose of batteries. To replace the battery: 1. Locate the circular battery cover on the back of the heart rate monitor.2. Use a coin to twist the cover counter-clockwise so the arrow on the cover points to OPEN. 3. Remove the cover and replace the battery with the positive side facing up. NOTE: Be careful not to damage or lose the O-ring gasket on the cover.

DRAFTForerunner 405 Owner’s Manual 35Using Accessories4. Use a coin to twist the cover clockwise so the arrow on the cover points to CLOSE.Foot PodYour Forerunner is compatible with the foot pod. You can use the foot pod to send data for your Forerunner when training indoors or when your GPS signal is weak or you lose satellite signals. The foot pod is on standby and ready to send data (like the heart rate monitor). You must pair the foot pod with your Forerunner. See page 31. Calibrating the Foot PodCalibrating your foot pod is optional and can improve accuracy. There are three ways to adjust the calibration: distance, GPS, and manual. Distance CalibrationFor best results, the foot pod should be calibrated using the inside lane of a regulation track. A regulation track (2 laps = 800 m) is more accurate than a treadmill.1. Touch and hold menu > select Settings > ANT+Sport > Accessories > Foot Pod > Calibrate > Distance. 2. Select a distance. 3. Press start to begin recording.4. Run or walk the distance. 5. Press stop.GPS CalibrationYou must have GPS signals to calibrate the Foot Pod using GPS.1. Touch and hold menu > select Settings > ANT+Sport > Accessories > Foot Pod > Calibrate > GPS.
