Pairing is the connecting of ANT+™ wireless sensors, for example, connecting your foot pod with a Forerunner. After you pair the rst time, your Forerunner automatically recognizes your foot pod each time it is activated. Before you can pair, you must put on the heart rate monitor or install the foot pod. For more information, refer to the instructions included with your accessory or refer to the Forerunner model # Quick Start Manual.• Bring the Forerunner within range (3 m) of the accessory.

Synthetic fabrics that rub or ap against the heart rate monitor can create static electricity that interferes with heart rate signals.• Move away from sources of strong electromagnetic elds 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.
