The HRM-Tri accessory is designed primarily for open water

swimming, but it can be used occasionally for pool swimming.

The heart rate monitor should be worn under a swim suit or

triathlon top during pool swimming. Otherwise, it may slide down

your chest when pushing off the pool wall.

Putting On the Heart Rate Monitor

You should wear the heart rate monitor directly on your skin, just

below your sternum. It should be snug enough to stay in place

during your activity.

If necessary, attach the strap extender to the heart rate

monitor.

Wet the electrodes

on the back of the heart rate monitor to

create a strong connection between your chest and the

transmitter.

Wear the heart rate monitor with the Garmin logo facing right-

side up.

The loop

and hook

side.

Wrap the heart rate monitor around your chest, and connect

the strap hook to the loop.

NOTE: Make sure the care tag does not fold over.

After you put on the heart rate monitor, it is active and sending

data.

Data Storage

The heart rate monitor can store up to 20 hours of data in a

single activity. When the heart rate monitor memory is full, your

oldest data is overwritten.

You can start a timed activity on your paired Forerunner device,

and the heart rate monitor records your heart rate data even if

you move away from your device. For example, you can record

heart rate data during fitness activities or team sports where

watches cannot be worn. Your heart rate monitor automatically

sends your stored heart rate data to your Forerunner device

when you save your activity. Your heart rate monitor must be

active and within range (3 m) of the device while data is

uploaded.

Caring for the Heart Rate Monitor

A buildup of sweat and salt on the strap can decrease the ability

of the heart rate monitor to report accurate data.

• Rinse the heart rate monitor after every use.

• Hand wash the heart rate monitor after every seven uses or

one pool swim, using a tiny amount of mild detergent, such

as dishwashing liquid.

NOTE: Using too much detergent may damage the heart rate

monitor.

• Do not put the heart rate monitor in a washing machine or

dryer.

• When drying the heart rate monitor, hang it up or lay it flat.

NOTICE

Foot Pod

Your device is compatible with the foot pod. You can use the

foot pod to record pace and distance instead of using GPS when

you are training indoors or when your GPS signal is weak. The

foot pod is on standby and ready to send data (like the heart

rate monitor).

After 30 minutes of inactivity, the foot pod powers off to

conserve the battery. When the battery is low, a message

appears on your device. Approximately five hours of battery life

remain.

Foot Pod Calibration

The foot pod is self-calibrating. The accuracy of the speed and

distance data improves after a few outdoor runs using GPS.

Situational Awareness

Your Forerunner device can be used with the Varia Vision

device, Varia

smart bike lights, and rearview radar to improve

™

situational awareness. See the owner's manual for your Varia

device for more information.

NOTE: You may need to update the Forerunner software before

pairing Varia devices

Tips for Erratic Heart Rate Data

If the heart rate data is erratic or does not appear, you can try

these tips.

• Reapply water to the electrodes and contact patches (if

applicable).

• Tighten the strap on your chest.

• Warm up for 5 to 10 minutes.

• Follow the care instructions

Monitor, page

6).

• Wear a cotton shirt or thoroughly wet both sides of the strap.

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 that can interfere with your heart

rate monitor.

Sources of interference may include strong electromagnetic

fields, some 2.4 GHz wireless sensors, high-voltage power

lines, electric motors, ovens, microwave ovens, 2.4 GHz

cordless phones, and wireless LAN access points.

Customizing Your Device

Activity Profiles

Activity profiles are a collection of settings that optimize your

device based on how you are using it. For example, the settings

and data screens are different when you are using the device for

running than for riding your bike.

When you are using a profile and you change settings such as

data fields or alerts, the changes are saved automatically as part

of the profile.

Activity Settings

These settings allow you to customize your device based on

your training needs. For example, you can customize data

screens and enable alerts and training features.

Alerts

You can use alerts to train toward specific heart rate, pace, time,

distance, cadence, and calories goals and to set run/walk time

intervals.
