wake up. The sensor can only be paired within a few minutes of “waking up”, or it goes back to

sleep.

can be used for both Magellan Cyclo 500 and 505.

for obtaining measurements that require medical precision. It is strongly recommended to consult a

doctor if you have a pacemaker or other implanted devices before using the heart rate monitor.

1. Before using the heart rate monitor, wet the contacts on the back of the chest strap. You can also

use an electrolyte gel (usually available in local sports stores) to ensure good contact.

2. Adjust the elastic strap so it’s snug while you are putting it on. Ensure that you can take a good

deep breath after putting on the strap.

3. Follow the instructions below to wrap the strap around your back, and then secure it on the other

side with the buckle.
