cadence sensor, you can use
cadence alerts. The cadence
alert notifies you if your cadence
exceeds or drops below a specific
number of revolutions of the
crank arm per minute (rpm).
Setting a cadence alert is similar
to setting a heart rate alert. The
maximum cadence value allowed
is 255. Be sure to change to

Heart Rate Information
Many runners and other athletes
are using heart rate zones to
measure and increase their
cardiovascular strength and
improve their level of fitness.
What are heart rate zones?
A heart rate zone is simply a
range of heartbeats per minute
(bpm). The five commonly
accepted heart rate zones are
numbered from 1–5 according to
increasing intensity. Generally,
heart rate zones are calculated
based on percentages of your
maximum heart rate. See the
next page to learn some of the
effects of exercise as your heart
rate reaches each of these
zones.
How do heart rate zones
affect your fitness goals?
Knowing your heart rate
zones can help you measure
and improve your fitness by
understanding and applying these
principles:
• Your heart rate is a good
measure of exercise
intensity.
• Training in certain heart
rate zones can help you
improve cardiovascular
capacity and strength.
• Knowing your heart rate
zones can prevent you
from overtraining and
decrease your risk of injury.
See the next page to learn about
the benefits of training in each
heart rate zone.

How can I determine my
heart rate zones?
If you know your maximum heart
rate, you can enter it and allow
the Forerunner to calculate your
heart rate zones based on the
percentages shown below. For
more information on setting your
heart rate zones, see page 51.

About Pairing
Pairing is the process of matching
sensors, like your heart rate
monitor, with your Forerunner
305. This process occurs
automatically when you turn on
the Forerunner and only takes a
few seconds when the sensors
are on and functioning correctly.
Once paired, your Forerunner
will only receive data from your
sensor. Upon power up, the
Forerunner will automatically
scan for the sensors you
have enabled (see “Adding
Accessories,” page 46). Each
sensor has a unique ID. The
Forerunner learns and saves this
unique ID while pairing the first
time. The next time you turn on
the Forerunner, it will only pair
with the unique sensor ID. If the
Forerunner does not find the
sensor, you should restart the
scan to find your sensor ID.
Interference
Strong electromagnetic fields
can interfere with your heart rate
monitor and cause your heart
rate to appear unusually high,
freeze, or disappear. Common
sources of interference include
high voltage power lines, electric
motors, computers, televisions,
and mobile phones. After you
move away from the source of
interference, your heart rate
reading should return to normal.

Heart Rate Monitor
Troubleshooting
If you have trouble pairing with
the heart rate monitor, or if your
heart rate readings are erratic, try
the following suggestions.
• Position the Forerunner within
3 meters of the sensor while
pairing.
• Stay far away from any other
sensors while pairing.
• Move away from sources of
interference (see the previous
page).
• Restart scan if your
Forerunner appears to be
paired with another sensor
(see page 46).
• Make sure scanning for the
heart rate monitor is enabled
(see page 46).
• Replace the battery.
• Clean the sensors. Dirt and
sweat build-up on the sensors
can weaken signals.
• Reapply moisture. Use
electrode gel, water, or saliva.
• Make sure the heart rate
monitor is snug against your
body. If you have trouble with
erratic readings, position the
transmitter on your back.
• Wear a cotton shirt, or wet
your shirt. Synthetic fabrics
that rub or flap against the
heart rate monitor can create
static electricity that interferes
with heart rate signals.
