Pairing Accessories
If you purchased an accessory with
ANT+ wireless technology, you need
to pair it with your device.
Pairing is connecting ANT+
accessories, such as the heart rate
monitor, with your device. The
pairing process only takes a few

correctly. When paired, your device
only receives data from your
accessory, even if you are near other
accessories.
After you pair the frst time, your
device automatically recognizes your

Heart Rate Monitor Tips
If you are noticing inaccurate
or erratic heart rate data, use the
following tips.
Make sure the heart rate monitor
is snug against your body.
Reapply water, saliva, or
electrode gel to the electrodes.
Clean the electrodes. Dirt and
sweat residue can interfere with
heart rate signals.
Wear a cotton shirt or wet your
shirt if suitable for your activity.
Synthetic fabrics that rub or fap
against the heart rate monitor
can create static electricity that
interferes with heart rate signals.
Move away from sources of
strong electromagnetic felds and
some 2.4 GHz wireless sensors,
which can interfere with your
heart rate monitor. Sources of
interference may include very
Forerunner 410 Owners Manual 33
Using Accessories
high voltage power lines, electric
motors, microwave ovens,
2.4 GHz cordless phones, and
wireless LAN access points.
Heart Rate Zones
notice
Consult your physician to specify
heart rate zones/targets that are
appropriate for your ftness level and
health condition.
Many athletes are using heart rate
zones to measure and increase their
cardiovascular strength and improve
their level of ftness. A heart rate
zone is a set range of heartbeats per
minute. The fve commonly accepted
heart rate zones are numbered from
15 according to increasing intensity.
The device sets the heart rate zone
ranges (see the table on page 41)
based on your maximum and resting
heart rates set in your user profle
(see page 26).
You can also customize your heart
rate zones in your user profle of
Garmin Connect or Garmin Training
Center. After customizing your heart
rate zones, transfer data to your
device.
How Do Heart Rate Zones
Affect Your Fitness Goals?
Knowing your heart rate zones can
help you measure and improve
your ftness 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.

Replacing the Heart Rate
Monitor Battery
The heart rate monitor contains a
user-replaceable CR2032 battery.
noTe: Contact your local waste
disposal department to properly
dispose of batteries.
1. Use a small Phillips screwdriver
to remove the four screws on the
back of the module.
2. Remove the cover and battery.
Wait 30 seconds. Insert the new
battery with the positive side
facing up.
noTe: Be careful not to damage
or lose the O-ring gasket.
3. Replace the back cover and the
four screws.
noTe: After replacing the
battery, you might need to pair
the heart rate monitor with the
device again.
TIP: To maximize the battery life,
remove the heart rate module from
the strap when not in use.
Caring for the Heart Rate
Monitor
noTe: Unsnap the module before
cleaning the strap.
Rinse the strap after every use. Hand
wash the strap in cold water with a
mild detergent after every fve uses.

Using Accessories
Foot Pod
Your device is compatible with the
foot pod. You can use the foot pod
to send data for your device when
training indoors or when your GPS
signal is weak or you lose satellite
signals. The foot pod is on standby
and ready to send data (like the heart
rate monitor). You must pair the foot
pod with your device (see page 31).
Calibrating the Foot Pod
Calibrating your foot pod is optional
and can improve accuracy. There are
three ways to adjust the calibration:
distance, GPS, and manual.
Distance Calibration
For best results, the foot pod should
be calibrated using the inside lane of
a regulation track. A regulation track
(2 laps = 800 m) is more accurate
than a treadmill.
1. Touch and hold menu > select
Settings > AnT+ > Accessories
> Foot Pod > Calibrate >
Distance.
2. Select a distance.
3. Press start to begin recording.
4. Run or walk the distance.
5. Press stop.
GPS Calibration
You must have GPS signals to
calibrate the Foot Pod using GPS.
1. Touch and hold menu > select
Settings > AnT+ > Accessories
> Foot Pod > Calibrate > GPS.
2. Press start to begin recording.
3. Run or walk approximately
1000 m. The device informs
you that you have traveled far
enough.

Manual Calibration
If your foot pod distance seems
slightly high or low each time you
run, you can manually adjust the
calibration factor.
Touch and hold menu > select
Settings > AnT+ > Accessories
> Foot Pod > Cal Factor. Adjust
the calibration factor. Increase the
calibration factor if your distance
is too low; decrease the calibration
factor if your distance is too high.
GSC 10
Your device is compatible with the
GSC 10 speed and cadence bike
sensor. You must pair the GSC 10
with your device (see page 31).
Calibrating the Bike Sensor
Calibrating your bike sensor is
optional and can improve accuracy.
1. Touch and hold menu > select
Settings > AnT+ > Accessories
> Bike Sensor > Calibration.
2. Select Manual to enter the wheel
size. Select Auto to allow GPS to
determine your wheel size.
