About Heart Rate Zones

Many athletes use heart rate zones to measure and increase

their cardiovascular strength and improve their level of fitness. A

heart rate zone is a set range of heartbeats per minute. The five

commonly accepted heart rate zones are numbered from 1 to 5

according to increasing intensity. Generally, heart rate zones are

calculated based on percentages of your maximum heart rate.

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 can decrease your risk of injury.

6 ANT+ Sensors

If you know your maximum heart rate, you can use the table

(Heart Rate Zone Calculations, page 19) to determine the best

heart rate zone for your fitness objectives.

If you do not know your maximum heart rate, use one of the

calculators available on the Internet. Some gyms and health

centers can provide a test that measures maximum heart rate.

The default maximum heart rate is 220 minus your age.

Tips for Erratic Heart Rate Data

If the heart rate data is erratic or does not appear, you can try

these tips.

• Reapply water to the electrodes and contact patches (if

applicable).

• Tighten the strap on your chest.

• Warm up for 5 to 10 minutes.

• Follow the care instructions (Caring for the Heart Rate

Monitor, page 15).

• Wear a cotton shirt or thoroughly wet both sides of the strap.

Synthetic fabrics that rub or flap against the heart rate

monitor can create static electricity that interferes with heart

rate signals.

• Move away from sources that can interfere with your heart

rate monitor.

Sources of interference may include strong electromagnetic

fields, some 2.4 GHz wireless sensors, high-voltage power

lines, electric motors, ovens, microwave ovens, 2.4 GHz

cordless phones, and wireless LAN access points.

Installing the Speed Sensor

NOTE: If you do not have this sensor, you can skip this task.

TIP: Garmin recommends you secure your bike on a stand while

installing the sensor.

Place and hold the speed sensor on top of the wheel hub.

Pull the strap

around the wheel hub, and attach it to the

hook

on the sensor.

The sensor may be tilted when installed on an asymmetrical

hub. This does not affect operation.

Rotate the wheel to check for clearance.

The sensor should not contact other parts of your bike.

NOTE: The LED flashes green for five seconds to indicate

activity after two revolutions.

Installing the Cadence Sensor

NOTE: If you do not have this sensor, you can skip this task.

TIP: Garmin recommends you secure your bike on a stand while

installing the sensor.

Select the band size that fits your crank arm

securely.

The band you select should be the smallest one that

stretches across the crank arm.

On the non-drive side, place and hold the flat side of the

cadence sensor on the inside of the crank arm.

Pull the bands

around the crank arm, and attach them to

the hooks

on the sensor.

Rotate the crank arm to check for clearance.

The sensor and bands should not contact any part of your

bike or shoe.

NOTE: The LED flashes green for five seconds to indicate

activity after two revolutions.

Take a 15 minute test ride and inspect the sensor and bands

to ensure there is no evidence of damage.

About the Speed and Cadence Sensors

Cadence data from the cadence sensor is always recorded. If no

speed and cadence sensors are paired with the device, GPS

data is used to calculate the speed and distance.

Cadence is your rate of pedaling or “spinning” measured by the

number of revolutions of the crank arm per minute (rpm).

Installing the GSC

™

NOTE: If you do not have a GSC 10, you can skip this task.

Both magnets must be aligned with their respective indication

lines for the Edge to receive data.

Place the GSC 10 on the rear chain stay (on the side

opposite the drive train).

If necessary, place the flat rubber pad

or the triangle-

shaped rubber pad between the GSC 10 and the chain stay

for stability.

Loosely attach the GSC 10 using two cable ties

Attach the pedal magnet

to the crank arm using the

adhesive mount and a cable tie

ANT+ Sensors 7

The pedal magnet must be within 5 mm of the GSC 10. The

indication line

on the pedal magnet must line up with the

indication line

on the GSC 10.

Unscrew the spoke magnet

from the plastic piece.

Place the spoke in the groove of the plastic piece, and tighten

it slightly.

The spoke magnet can face away from the GSC 10 if there is

not enough room between the sensor arm and the spoke.

The spoke magnet must line up with the indication line

the sensor arm.

Loosen the screw

on the sensor arm.

Move the sensor arm to within 5 mm of the spoke magnet.

You can also tilt the GSC 10 closer to either magnet to

improve alignment.

Select Reset

on the GSC 10.

The LED turns red, then green.

Pedal to test the sensor alignment.

The red LED blinks each time the pedal magnet passes the

sensor. The green LED blinks each time the spoke magnet

passes the sensor arm.

NOTE: The LED blinks for the first 60 passes after a reset.

Select Reset again if you require additional passes.

When everything is aligned and working correctly, tighten the

cable ties, the sensor arm, and the spoke magnet.

Garmin recommends that the torque is 1.9 to 2.4 lbf-in. (0.21

to 0.27 N-m) to ensure a water tight seal on the GSC 10

sensor arm.

About the GSC 10

Cadence data from the GSC 10 is always recorded. If there is

no GSC 10 paired, GPS data is used to calculate the speed and

distance.

Cadence is your rate of pedaling or “spinning” measured by the

number of revolutions of the crank arm per minute (rpm). There

are two sensors on the GSC 10: one for cadence and one for

speed.

Data Averaging for Cadence or Power

The non-zero data-averaging setting is available if you are

training with an optional cadence sensor or power meter. The

default setting excludes zero values that occur when you are not

pedaling.

You can change the value of this setting (Data Recording

Settings, page 14).

Training with Power Meters

• Go to www.garmin.com/intosports for a list of ANT+ sensors

that are compatible with your device (such as Vector

™

• For more information, see the owner's manual for your power

meter.

• Adjust your power zones to match your goals and abilities

(Setting Your Power Zones, page 8).

• Use range alerts to be notified when you reach a specified

power zone (Setting Range Alerts, page 3).

• Customize the power data fields (Customizing the Data

Pages, page 13).

Vector measures the force you apply a few hundred times every

second. Vector also measures your cadence or rotational

pedaling speed. By measuring the force, the direction of force,

the rotation of the crank arm, and time, Vector can determine

power (watts). Because Vector independently measures left and

right leg power, it reports your left-right power balance.

NOTE: The Vector S system does not provide left-right power

balance.
