Starting the Bodylink® System
When using the Performance Monitor, you can view real-time data from a Heart Rate
Sensor or Speed + Distance Sensor, or both, in Time of Day, Chrono and Timer. The
procedure to do this is the same in all modes, though the data that you can view and their
position on the display in each mode will vary.
1.
Make sure you’re wearing your Heart Rate Sensor or Speed + Distance Sensor, or
both, and that they are powered up and functional.
2.
Stand at least 6 feet (2 meters) away from any other users of fitness monitor
systems and from any source of radio interference such as electrical equipment,
power lines, etc.
NOTE: Though the Bodylink® system has a working range of about 3 feet (1 meter) from
the sensors to the watch, for the most reliable operation, make sure that the watch is as
close to the sensors as possible when starting up the system.
3.
Press and release the
DISPLAY
button. This tells the watch to look for any
Bodylink® sensors nearby; it will search for one minute. The antenna icon will
appear on the watch display, indicating that the Bodylink® system is active.
NOTE: As a convenience, Chrono and Timer will automatically search for Bodylink
sensors for fifteen seconds upon entering the mode.
4.
When the watch has successfully detected transmissions from the sensors, the
watch display will switch to a new format showing some or all of the sensor data,
depending on the mode. Time of Day and Timer show the data in the lower line
exclusively, while Chrono allows up to three lines of performance data.
Viewing Performance Data
Press and release the DISPLAY button to select the data or combination of data that you
wish to view during your workout. For your convenience, a “banner” showing the names
of the information and their position on the display is shown briefly before showing the
data itself.
Here are a few more things you should know to use the watch effectively:
•
While in Chrono, press and release
SET/FORMAT
to swap the positions of the
information in the upper and middle display lines. This allows you to view the
data most important in the larger middle display line.
•
If you want to stop monitoring data from your Bodylink® sensors, hold the
DISPLAY
button down until the message HOLD TO SHUT OFF RCVR is
displayed on the watch display. Continue holding the
DISPLAY
button for a few
more seconds; the watch will beep indicating that the radio link between the
watch and the sensors has been shut down.
TIP: If you are already viewing data from one sensor, for example the Heart Rate
Sensor, and you wish to also view data from the Speed + Distance Sensor, simply press
and hold the
DISPLAY
button until the watch emits a short beep and the antenna icon
begins flashing. The watch is now searching for a second Bodylink sensor. When it
detects this second device, the antenna icon will stop flashing and the display may
change to a new format that includes the new information, Press and release the
DISPLAY
button (as detailed previously) to view various combinations of two sensor’s
data.
