GETTING STARTED > POSITION THE FORERUNNER
NOTE: If you have trouble with erratic heart rate
readings (bikers especially), 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.
Position the Forerunner
For best results, wear the Forerunner 301 on your wrist
as you would wear a watch, with the face oriented toward
the sky. This position allows the GPS antenna to acquire
satellite information quickly and easily.
Do not adjust the Forerunner too tightly around your wrist,
as it may cut off blood circulation. If needed, add the
extension strap to the Forerunner’s wrist strap.
To add the
extension strap:
1. Slide the end of the existing strap through the
connector on the extension.
2. Place the Forerunner on your wrist or arm.
3. Slide the end of the extension through the connector
on the Forerunner.
4. Adjust to fit comfortably and secure the strap.
