    1 Put on a medium or high support sports bra with a tight fitting band. The proper sports bra fit will reduce heart rate monitor movement, maintain good skin-to-electrode contact, and ensure comfort (HRM-Fit Sports Bra Guide, page 2). 2 Wet the electrodes on the back of the heart rate monitor to create a strong connection between your chest and the transmitter.

  • Page 6: Hrm-Fit Sports Bra Guide

    HRM-Fit Sports Bra Guide The HRM-Fit heart rate monitor works best with a sports bra that has a flat band around the rib cage. Good band compression is needed to minimize heart rate monitor movement and ensure good contact between your skin and the electrodes so that the heart rate monitor can accurately detect your heart rate.
  • Page 7 Band tightness The sports bra has medium or high support and tight compres­ sion designed for running, cardio, or high-intensity workouts. Two fingers fit snugly under the sports bra band, and you can't easily pull the band away. Heart Rate Monitor Instructions...
  • Page 8 Band and strap width The width of the sports bra band under the bust is approximately from 19 to 50 mm (from 0.75 to 2 in.). A long band may position the heart rate monitor too low on the torso for accurate heart rate.

  • Page 9: Pairing And Setup

    NOTE: The pairing instructions differ for each Garmin compatible device. See your owner's manual. • For most Garmin compatible devices, bring the device within 3 m of the heart rate monitor and use the device menu to pair manually.

  • Page 10: Running Dynamics

    The heart rate monitor has an accelerometer that measures torso movement in order to calculate six running metrics. NOTE: To use the running dynamics features, the HRM-Fit heart rate monitor must be paired to your compatible Garmin device using ANT+ technology. For more information, see your owner's manual.

    If you save a timed activity without downloading stored heart rate data, you can download the data from the HRM-Fit heart rate monitor later. NOTE: Your HRM-Fit heart rate monitor stores up to 18 hours of activity history. When the heart rate monitor memory is full, your oldest data is overwritten.

    • Make sure your Garmin device supports running dynamics. For more information, go to www.garmin.com/runningdynamics. • Pair the HRM-Fit accessory with your Garmin device again, according to the instructions. • Make sure you are paired using ANT+ technology, rather than Bluetooth technology.
