Forerunner 210 Owner's Manual
Solution
Make sure that it is compatible with the Forerunner
(www.garmin.com/intosports).
GPS needs to be disabled.
1. Go indoors.
2. While the Forerunner is trying to locate satellites, press page.
3. Select Yes.
• Make sure that the heart rate monitor is snug against your body.
• Warm up for 5–10 minutes.
• Reapply moisture to the electrodes. Use water, saliva, or
electrode gel.
• Clean the electrodes. Dirt and sweat residue on the electrodes
can interfere with heart rate signals.
• Position the electrodes on your back instead of your chest.
• Wear a cotton shirt or wet your shirt if suitable for your activity.
Synthetic fabrics that rub or flap against the heart rate monitor
can create static electricity that interferes with heart rate
signals.
• Move away from sources of strong electromagnetic fields and
some 2.4 GHz wireless sensors, which can interfere with your
heart rate monitor. Sources of interference may include high-
voltage power lines, electric motors, microwave ovens, 2.4 GHz
cordless phones, and wireless LAN access points.
