Bike Sensor Usage and Data Recording During a Workout
Several types of bike sensors can be used with the Global Trainer ™ Bodylink ® System watch. Look for the
ANT+ ™ symbol on the bike sensor to confirm its compatibility.
Installation of bike sensors varies by the manufacturer and model. Consult the sensor owner’s manual for
instructions on installing them on your bike. These sensors must be paired with the Global Trainer ™ watch
before bike speed, cadence, and power data can be tracked and saved.
NOTE: If a bike speed sensor is installed and active, it will be used to track speed and distance, and the GPS
sensor will be used to capture route and altitude data.
1. In Performance or Multisport Mode, press START/SPLIT to begin your workout.
2. When your workout is complete, press q to stop the chronograph.
3. View complete bike sensor data in Review Mode.
NOTE: If you want to see live bike data during your workout, select a field in your view screen that displays
that data -- CADENCE, SPEED, POWER, etc.
Care and Maintenance
Watch
Water Resistance
• The Global Trainer ™ Bodylink ® System watch is water resistant to a depth of 50 meters and to a pressure
of 86 p.s.i. This is equivalent to 164 feet below sea level.
• Water resistance is only maintained while the lens, pushbuttons, and case are intact.
• Rinse the Global Trainer
™ watch with fresh water after any exposure to salt water.
CAUTION: TO MAINTAIN WATER RESISTANCE, DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS UNDER WATER.
Heart Rate Sensor
Heart Rate Sensor Maintenance
After use, rinse the heart rate strap in fresh water to avoid buildup of materials that interfere with heart rate
measurement. With the transmitter removed, the Flex Tech ™ heart rate sensor is also machine washable in
cold water. Hang the sensor to dry away from direct sunlight or heat.
Sensor Battery Life
The battery on the Digital 2.4 Heart Rate Sensor should last more than two years if the sensor is used an
average of one hour each day. More frequent or longer use will decrease the battery life. Replace the sensor
transmitter battery if either of these conditions arise:
• When the sensor is properly placed on your chest, the Global Trainer ™ watch cannot read heart rate data.
• Heart rate error messages (such as SEARCHING FOR HEART RATE . . . ) appear more frequently.
Replace the Sensor Battery
1. Use a coin to open the battery compartment cover on the back of the sensor.
2. Insert a new CR2032 battery (or equivalent) with the positive (+) facing you.
3. Reinstall the battery compartment cover.
Test the Sensor After Battery Replacement
1. Move away from sources of radio or electromagnetic interference, such as other heart monitors or bike
sensors.
2. Wet the heart rate sensor pads.
3. Fasten the sensor firmly to your chest, just below your sternum.
Turn on the Global Trainer
™ Bodylink ® System watch, and go to Performance Mode. Make sure that the view
screen contains a live heart rate data field.
If the heart rate sensor is functioning correctly, a solid heart icon appears in the status bar, and a flashing
heart icon appears in the HR field on the performance view screen.
If these icons do not appear:
• Reinstall the battery, and test again.
