Using a New Heart Rate Sensor

If you purchase a WearLink+ Hybrid transmitter as an accessory,it has to be introduced to the training

computer.This is called pairing and only takes a few seconds. Pairing ensures that your training computer

receives signals from your heart rate sensor only,and enables disturbance-free training in a group.

There can be only one heart rate sensor paired to your training computer.If you pair another heart rate

sensor to the training computer,the previous heart rate sensor is removed from memory.

Beforeentering an event or race, make sure that you do the pairing at home. This is to prevent interference due to

thelong-range data transmission.
