Using Accessories

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 very

high voltage power lines, electric

motors, microwave ovens,

2.4 GHz cordless phones, and

wireless LAN access points.

Heart Rate Zones

Caution: Consult your

physician to specify heart

rate zones/targets that are

appropriate for your fitness

level and health condition.

Many athletes are using heart rate

zones to measure and increase their

cardiovascular strength and improve

their level of fitness. A heart rate

zone is a set range of heartbeats per

minute. The five commonly accepted

heart rate zones are numbered from

1–5 according to increasing intensity.

The Forerunner sets the heart rate

zone ranges (see the table on

page

45

) based on your maximum and

resting heart rates set in your user

profile (see

page 29

).

You can also customize your heart

rate zones in your user profile of

Garmin Connect or Garmin Training

Center. After customizing your heart

rate zones, transfer data to your

Forerunner.
