10. USING A NEW HEART RATE SENSOR
Using a New Heart Rate Sensor
If you purchase a WearLink+ Hybrid transmitter as an accessory, it has to be introduced to the training
computer. This is called pairing and only takes a few seconds. Pairing ensures that your training computer
receives signals from your heart rate sensor only, and enables disturbance-free training in a group.
There can be only one heart rate sensor paired to your training computer. If you pair another heart rate
sensor to the training computer, the previous heart rate sensor is removed from memory.
Before entering an event or race, make sure that you do the pairing at home. This is to prevent interference due to
the long-range data transmission.
Pairing a New Heart Rate Sensor with the Training Computer
Wear the heart rate sensor and make sure that you are not near (40 m/131 ft) other heart rate sensors.

automatically when you start a training session. Wearing the training computer and the heart rate sensor,
start by pressing OK. Searching for new heart rate sensor is displayed. The training computer
searches for a heart rate sensor signal. Heart rate sensor found is displayed, once the training computer
