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.
