Putting On the Heart Rate Monitor
You should wear the heart rate monitor directly on your skin, just below your sternum.
1 Select a strap extender for the best fit.
2 Wear the heart rate monitor with the Garmin logo facing right-side up.
The hook
and loop
connection should be on your right side.
3 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.
4 Tighten the heart rate monitor so it is snug around your chest, but not restrictive.
After you put on the heart rate monitor, it is active, storing, and sending data.
Tips for Using the HRM-Swim Accessory
• Adjust the tightness of the heart rate monitor and strap extender if the heart rate monitor slides down your
chest when pushing off the pool wall.
• Stand up between intervals so that the heart rate monitor is out of the water to see your heart rate 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.
