Heart Rate Alerts Before you set a heart rate alert, you may want to customize your heart rate zones (page 8). The alert sounds when your heart rate is above or below the specified range.
Foot Pod
Your Forerunner is compatible with the foot pod. You can use the foot pod to send data to your Forerunner when training indoors, when your GPS signal is weak, or when you lose satellite signals. The foot pod is on standby and ready to send data (like the heart rate monitor). After 30 minutes of inactivity, the foot pod powers off to conserve the battery. Approximately five hours of battery life remain.
