Starting the Bodylink® System

When using the Performance Monitor, you can view real-time data from a Heart Rate Sensor or Speed + Distance Sensor, or both, in Time of Day, Chrono and Timer. The procedure to do this is the same in all modes, though the data that you can view and their position on the display in each mode will vary.

1.Make sure you’re wearing your Heart Rate Sensor or Speed + Distance Sensor, or both, and that they are powered up and functional.

2.Stand at least 6 feet (2 meters) away from any other users of fitness monitor systems and from any source of radio interference such as electrical equipment, power lines, etc.

NOTE: Though the Bodylink® system has a working range of about 3 feet (1 meter) from the sensors to the watch, for the most reliable operation, make sure that the watch is as close to the sensors as possible when starting the system up.

3.Press and release the DISPLAY button. This tells the watch to look for any Bodylink® sensors nearby; it will search for one minute. The antenna icon will appear on the watch display, indicating that the Bodylink® system is active.

NOTE: As a convenience, Chrono and Timer will automatically search for Bodylink® sensors for fifteen seconds upon entering the mode.

4.When the watch has successfully detected transmissions from the sensors, the watch display will switch to a new format showing some or all of the sensor data, depending on the mode. Time of Day and Timer show the data in the lower line exclusively, while Chrono allows up to three lines of performance data.

Viewing Performance Data

Press and release the DISPLAY button to select the data or combination of data that you wish to view during your workout. For your convenience, a “banner” showing the names of the information and their position on the display is shown briefly before showing the data itself.

Here are a few more things you should know to use the watch effectively:

While in the Chrono, press and release SET/FORMAT to swap the positions of the information in the upper and middle display lines. This allows you to view the data most important in the larger middle display line.
