Your FR70 ships with the power off
to conserve the battery. Press
to turn on your watch. When you
initially turn on the watch and are
completing the setup wizard, set your
activity class and indicate if you are a
lifetime athlete.
Use the chart on page 5 to determine
your activity class.
A lifetime athlete is an individual
who has trained intensely for many
years (with the exception of minor
injuries) and has a resting heart rate
of 60 beats per minute (bpm) or less.
The ANT+ wireless accessories
included with your FR70 are
already paired. The and
icons appear when the sensors are
paired. After a period of inactivity,
accessories go into sleep mode to
conserve battery life. If the accessory
icons are not lit before resuming your
activity, you must reestablish the
connection with the FR70, see the
FR70 Owner’s Manual.

chang when used for long periods
of time. To alleviate this issue, apply
an anti-friction lubricant or gel to
the center of the hard strap where it
contacts your skin.
Do not use gels or lubricants that
contain sunscreen. Do not apply
anti-friction gel or lubricant on the
electrodes.
