ETTING

TARTED

3. Place the heart rate monitor

directly on your skin, just

below the breastplate. Wrap

the strap around your chest

and attach the strap to the

other side of the heart rate

monitor.

NOTE:

If you have trouble with

erratic heart rate readings, position

the transmitter on your back instead

of your chest, or try applying

electrode gel.

4. Tighten or loosen the strap as

necessary so that it ﬁts snugly

against your body.

5. Turn on the Edge.

6. Bring it within range (3

meters) of the heart rate

monitor. The heart rate

monitor automatically

transmits your heart rate

to the Edge, and the heart

rate icon changes from

ﬂashing to constant.

TIP:

Be sure to move away from

other heart rate monitors while the

Edge is trying to “pair” with your heart

rate monitor and begin receiving

heart rate data. Once the Edge pairs

with your heart rate monitor, you can

go near other heart rate monitors. For

more information on pairing, training,

and troubleshooting, see

pages
