8. USING A NEW HEART RATE SENSOR

A new heart rate sensor purchased as a separate accessory has to be introduced to the cycling computer. This is called teaching and takes only a few seconds. Teaching ensures that your cycling computer receives signals from your heart rate sensor, enabling disturbance-free training in a group. If you have purchased the heart rate sensor and the cycling computer as a set, the heart rate sensor has already been taught to work together with the cycling computer.

Teaching a New Heart Rate Sensor

Wear the heart rate sensor and make sure that you are not near (40 m/131 ft) other heart rate sensors.

Activate your cycling computer with a three-second button press.

Once the cycling computer identifies a new heart rate sensor, WearLink FOUND, WearLink TEACH? is displayed.

  • Press OK to confirm. Once the teaching process is over, Completed! is displayed.

  • Press STOP to cancel teaching.

Your cycling computer refers to the heart rate sensor as WearLink.
