10. USING A NEW HEART RATE SENSOR

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.

Before entering an event or race, make sure that you do the pairing at home. This is to prevent interference due to the long-range data transmission.

Pairing a New Heart Rate Sensor with the Training Computer

Wear the heart rate sensor and make sure that you are not near (40 m/131 ft) other heart rate sensors.

1.Go to Menu > Settings > Sport profiles > Sport > Heart rate sensor > Search new and press OK.

2.The training computer starts searching for the sensor signal, Searching for new heart rate sensor is displayed.

3.Once the new sensor is identified, Heart rate sensor found is displayed. Pairing is complete.

4.If the search is not successful, Heart rate sensor not found or Other heart rate sensors interfering. Move further., Try again? YES / NO is displayed.

5.Select YES to start the search again.

6.Select NO to cancel the searching.

7.To return to time mode, press and hold the BACK button.

If you have not paired your training computer with a heart rate sensor before, pairing is performed automatically when you start a training session. Wearing the training computer and the heart rate sensor, start by pressing OK. Searching for new heart rate sensor is displayed. The training computer searches for a heart rate sensor signal. Heart rate sensor found is displayed, once the training computer finds the signal.
