The Forerunner is compatible with
these ANT+ accessories.
• Heart rate monitor (page 25)
• Foot pod (page 27)
• GSC 10 (page 28)
• Power meters?
• Weight Scale (page 30)
• Fitness Equipment (page 30)
For information about purchasing
additional accessories, go to
http://buy.garmin.com.
Before you can pair, you must put on
the heart rate monitor or install the
sensor. See the quick start manual or
the accessory instructions.
If your Forerunner does not show
data from the accessory, you may
need to pair the accessory to your
Forerunner. Pairing is the connecting of
ANT+™ wireless sensors, for example,
connecting your foot pod with a
Forerunner. After you pair the rst
time, your Forerunner automatically
recognizes your foot pod each time it
is activated.
• Make sure that the ANT+ sensor
is compatible with your Garmin
device.
• Bring the Forerunner within range

Stay 10 m away from other ANT+
sensors while pairing.

When the accessory is paired, a
message appears, and the accessory
icon (page 8) appears solid on the
screen.
Before you can customize your heart
rate zones, you must enable the heart
rate monitor.
The Forerunner uses your user prole
information from the initial setup to
determine your heart rate zones. For
the most accurate calorie data during
your activity, set your maximum heart
rate, resting heart rate, and heart rate
zones.
1. Select MODE > Settings > Run
Settings > Heart Rate > HR
Zones.
2. Enter you maximum heart rate.
If you do not know it, use 220 -
your age.
3. Enter your resting heart rate.
If you do not know it, select

• Select Custom to edit each zone

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 to
5 according to increasing intensity.
Generally, heart rate zones are
calculated based on percentages of
your maximum heart rate.
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
can decrease your risk of injury.
If you know your maximum heart
rate, you can use the table (page 32) to
determine the best heart rate zone for
your tness objectives.
If you do not know your maximum
heart rate, use one of the calculators
available on the Internet. Some gyms
and health centers can provide a test
that measures maximum heart rate.
• Heart rate alerts (page 11)
• Heart rate zone calculations

Your Forerunner is compatible with
the foot pod. You can use the foot pod
to send data to your Forerunner when
training indoors, when your GPS signal
is weak, or when you lose satellite
signals. The foot pod is on standby and
ready to send data. You must pair the
foot pod with your Forerunner
(page 24).
After 30 minutes of inactivity, the foot
pod powers off to conserve the battery.
When the battery is low, a message
appears on your Forerunner.
Approximately ve hours of battery
life remain.
If you plan to train outdoors, you can
set the Forerunner to use foot pod data
to calculate pace rather than using
GPS.
Select MODE > Settings > Run
Settings > Foot Pod > Speed
Source > Foot Pod.
Calibrating your foot pod is optional
and can improve accuracy. There are
three ways to adjust the calibration:
distance, GPS, and manual.
For 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.

ANT+ Sensors
1. Select MODE > Settings > Run
Settings > Foot Pod > Calibrate >
Distance.
2. Select a distance.
3. Select START to begin recording.
4. Run or walk the distance.
5. Select STOP.
You must have GPS signals to calibrate
the foot pod using GPS.
1. Select MENU > Settings > Foot
Pod > Calibrate > GPS.
2. Select START to begin recording.
3. Run or walk approximately
1000 m.
The Forerunner informs you that
you have traveled far enough.
If your foot pod distance seems slightly
high or low each time you run, you
can manually adjust the calibration
factor. The calibration formula is actual
distance (use a regulation track) /
recorded distance × current calibration
factor = new calibration factor. For
example, 1600 m / 1580 m × 95 = 96.2.
1. Select MODE > Settings > Run
Settings > Foot Pod > Calibration
Factor.
2. Adjust the calibration factor.
Cadence data from the GSC 10 is
always recorded. If there is no GSC 10
paired, GPS data is used to calculate
the speed and distance. Cadence is
your rate of pedaling or “spinning”
measured by the number of revolutions
of the crank arm per minute (rpm).
There are two sensors on the GSC 10:
one for cadence and one for speed.

the data from the weight scale.
1. Select LIGHT.
A message appears when the weight
scale is found.
2. Stand on the scale.
NOTE: If using a body
composition scale, remove shoes
and socks to ensure that all body
composition parameters are read
and recorded.
3. Step off the scale.
TIP: If an error occurs, step off the
scale, and try again.
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.
ANT+ technology automatically links
your Forerunner and heart rate monitor

The heart rate data
is inaccurate or
erratic.
• Make sure that the heart rate monitor is snug against
your body.
• Warm up for 5–10 minutes.
• Reapply moisture to the electrodes. Use water, saliva, or
electrode gel.
• Clean the electrodes. Dirt and sweat residue on the
electrodes 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 against
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 high-voltage power lines,
electric motors, microwave ovens, 2.4 GHz cordless
phones, and wireless LAN access points.

Training effect measures the impact
of an activity on your aerobic tness.
Training effect accumulates during
the activity. As the activity progresses
successfully, the training effect value
increases, telling you how the activity
Forerunner x10XT Owner’s Manual 41

has improved your tness. Training
effect is determined by your user
prole information, heart rate, duration,
and intensity of your activity.
It is important to know that your
training effect numbers (1.0–5.0) may
seem abnormally high during your rst
few runs. It takes several activities for
the device to learn your aerobic tness.
1.0–1.9 Helps recovery (short
activities). Improves
endurance with longer
activities (more than 40
minutes).
2.0–2.9 Maintains your aerobic
tness.
3.0–3.9 Improves your aerobic
tness if repeated as part
of your weekly training
program.
4.0–4.9 Highly improves your
aerobic tness if repeated
1–2 times per week with
adequate recovery time.
5.0 Causes temporary
overload with high
improvement. Train up to
this number with extreme
care. Requires additional
recovery days.
