Performance Mode Notes & Tips
• During a workout, the chronograph continues to run in the background even if the chronograph is not
visible in any of the performance view screens.
• The Global Trainer™ Bodylink® System watch tracks more workout data than just the items in the
Performance Mode view screens. When your workout is complete, use Review Mode to see all recorded
data for your workout.
Multisport Mode
While Performance Mode tracks performance data for one activity, Multisport Mode links up to five sports
together, and manages transitions between sports as well. Choose the performance data for each of up to five
sports, and use the transition periods in between sports to prepare for the next activity in the MULTISPORT
sequence. For example, use the transition period between MULTI-BIKE and MULTI-RUN to change from cycling
shoes to running shoes.
Multisport Mode Terminology
• Transition: A period of stoppage in between two activities to prepare for the next sport in sequence,
tracked by the TIME-STOP performance data option.
Multisport Mode View Screens
The titles of the view screens are prefixed by the term MULTI- (for example, RUN is MULTI-RUN in Multisport
Mode), but the fields and performance data on the screens are identical to those in Performance Mode.
Customize the number of fields and data displayed following the steps in the View Screens section of
Performance Mode, above.

Set Up Multisport Mode
You can use custom timers, intervals, calorie expenditure settings, and the Performance Pacer feature in

• The third displays the average cadence and power values from the bike sensor.
The chronograph will begin timing a new lap.
NOTE: If sensors are not connected to the Global Trainer™ Bodylink® System watch, their corresponding data
is not shown. All data will be moved up one place in the screens for each reading not shown. If enough data
is omitted, only one or two screens will display.

Multisport Mode Notes & Tips
• Multisport Mode and Performance Mode use the same custom view screens to display your workout data.
Changes you make in either mode will affect the displayed data in the other mode.
• To keep track of your transition times, make sure to include TIME-STOP in one of the performance data
fields. You can also look at the cumulative stoppage time in Review Mode.
15
• Do not forget that you can use custom timers and the Performance Pacer feature in Multisport Mode just
like you can in Performance Mode.
Navigate Mode
Use Navigate mode to find your position at any time using GPS technology. You can also create a waypoint at
any time, saving your current position in the Global Trainer™ Bodylink® System watch memory. Combine these
waypoints in any combination you wish to create workout routes. During your workout, view the compass
feature to find your direction and speed, and view the map to see where you have been during your workout.
Navigate Mode Terminology
• Waypoint: A GPS marker which can be saved to the Global Trainer™ Bodylink® System watch memory,
indicating the latitude and longitude of your current location.

Configure Mode. For more frequent GPS updates, but with a wider margin of error, turn the WAAS/EGNOS
setting OFF.
• The compass displays your heading and speed only when you are moving, never while stationary.
Review Mode
Use Review Mode to inspect the details of your workouts. While Performance Mode and Multisport Mode

Care and Maintenance
Watch
Water Resistance
• The Global Trainer™ Bodylink® System watch is water resistant to a depth of 50 meters and to a pressure
of 86 p.s.i. This is equivalent to 164 feet below sea level.
• Water resistance is only maintained while the lens, pushbuttons, and case are intact.
• Rinse the Global Trainer™ watch with fresh water after any exposure to salt water.
CAUTION: TO MAINTAIN WATER RESISTANCE, DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS UNDER WATER.
Heart Rate Sensor
Heart Rate Sensor Maintenance
After use, rinse the heart rate strap in fresh water to avoid buildup of materials that interfere with heart rate
measurement. With the transmitter removed, the Flex Tech™ heart rate sensor is also machine washable in
cold water. Hang the sensor to dry away from direct sunlight or heat.
Sensor Battery Life
The battery on the Digital 2.4 Heart Rate Sensor should last more than two years if the sensor is used an
average of one hour each day. More frequent or longer use will decrease the battery life. Replace the sensor
transmitter battery if either of these conditions arise:
• When the sensor is properly placed on your chest, the Global Trainer™ watch cannot read heart rate data.
• Heart rate error messages (such as SEARCHING FOR HEART RATE . . . ) appear more frequently.
Replace the Sensor Battery
1. Use a coin to open the battery compartment cover on the back of the sensor.
2. Insert a new CR2032 battery (or equivalent) with the positive (+) facing you.
3. Reinstall the battery compartment cover.
Test the Sensor After Battery Replacement
1. Move away from sources of radio or electromagnetic interference, such as other heart monitors or bike
sensors.
2. Wet the heart rate sensor pads.
3. Fasten the sensor firmly to your chest, just below your sternum.
Turn on the Global Trainer™ Bodylink® System watch, and go to Performance Mode. Make sure that the view
screen contains a live heart rate data field.
If the heart rate sensor is functioning correctly, a solid heart icon appears in the status bar, and a flashing
heart icon appears in the HR field on the performance view screen.
If these icons do not appear:
• Reinstall the battery, and test again.
-OR-
36
• Re-pair the Digital 2.4 Heart Rate Sensor to the Global Trainer™ Bodylink® System watch using the
instructions in the Sensor section for Configure Mode.
Water Resistance
The Digital 2.4 Heart Rate Sensor is water resistant to a depth of 30 meters and to a pressure of 60 p.s.i. This is
equivalent to 98 feet below sea level.
NOTE: Heart rate data will not be received when the sensor or Global Trainer™ watch is underwater.
