Position the Heart Rate Monitor
Wear the heart rate (HR) monitor directly on your skin, just
below the breastplate. It should be snug enough to stay in
place during your workout. When positioned correctly, the
heart rate monitor automatically transmits your heart rate to
the Forerunner 301. Your heart rate appears next to a heart
icon in Timer mode on the Forerunner (see page 5 ).
To begin displaying your heart rate on the Forerunner, you
must turn on the Forerunner and bring it within range of the
heart rate monitor. The Forerunner must be within 90–110
cm (35–43 in.) of the heart rate monitor to receive your
heart rate.
Be sure to stand at least six feet away from other heart
rate monitors while the Forerunner is trying to “pair” with
your heart rate monitor and begin receiving heart rate data.
Once the Forerunner pairs with your heart rate monitor,
you can go near other heart rate monitors without fear of
interference. For more information on pairing, interference,
and troubleshooting, see pages 48–49 in the Appendix.
To position the heart rate monitor:
1. Push one tab on the elastic strap through the slot in
the heart rate monitor.
