Getting Started Getting Started Charging the Battery Charge the Forerunner for three hours before using it. When the battery is fully charged, the battery life is approximately 10 hours. To avoid corrosion, be sure the Forerunner is completely dry before charging or connecting to a personal computer. To charge the Forerunner: 1. Snap the Forerunner into the charging cradle. 2. Plug the small end of the AC adapter into the mini-USB port on the cradle. Plug the other end into a standard wall outlet.
Getting Started Acquiring Satellite Signals Before you begin using the Forerunner, you must acquire GPS satellite signals. To acquire satellite signals, go outdoors away from tall buildings and trees. Acquiring satellite signals may take 30–60 seconds. To acquire satellites: Go outdoors to an open area and press the Power button to turn on the Forerunner. Wait while the Forerunner searches for satellites. For best reception, make sure the GPS antenna is facing up.
Getting Started Using the Heart Rate Monitor Note: The heart rate monitor works with the Forerunner 305 only. Wear the heart rate monitor directly on your skin, just below your breastplate. It should be snug enough to stay in place during your run. To position the heart rate monitor: 1. Push one tab on the strap through the slot in the heart rate monitor. Press the tab down. sensors 2.
Getting Started 3. Wrap the strap around your chest and attach it to the other side of the heart rate monitor. Note: The Garmin logo should be right-side up. 4. Turn on the Forerunner and bring it within range (3 meters) of the heart rate monitor. The heart rate icon on the Timer page changes from flashing to constant when the Forerunner begins receiving data. Forerunner is trying to “pair” with your heart rate monitor for the first time.
Getting Started Extending the Strap If the Forerunner strap is not long enough for your wrist, you can replace it with the included extension strap and pin removal tool. Pin removal tool To add the extension strap: 1. Remove the short watch strap (with the buckle). Use the pin removal tool to pull one spring bar back so that it clears the edge of the case. Then remove the strap. 2. Install the extension strap. Place one side of the spring bar into one pinhole. 3.

Select Settings > General > User Profile. 3. Use the arrows and enter to enter your gender, birth date, and weight. Select the arrows to move left or right within a field.
Training Training Note: Always consult your physician before you begin or modify any exercise program. Use your Forerunner to set goals and alerts, train with a Virtual Partner™, program simple or advanced workouts, and plan courses based on existing runs. Alerts Use your Forerunner alerts to train toward certain time, distance, speed, and heart rate goals. You can set separate alerts in each sport mode.
Training 4. Enter a time in the Alert At field. 5. In the Distance Alert field, select Once or Repeat. 6. Enter a distance in the Alert At field. Tip: Press mode repeatedly to exit.

Heart rate alerts can also notify you if your heart rate exceeds or drops below a certain heart rate zone—a range of beats per minute. The five commonly accepted heart rate zones can help you determine the intensity of your workout.
Training Using Cadence Alerts Note: Cadence alerts are a feature of the Forerunner 305 only and can only be set in Biking mode. If you own an optional Garmin cadence sensor (GSC™ 10), you can use cadence alerts. The cadence alert notifies you if your cadence exceeds or drops below a specific number of revolutions of the crank arm per minute (rpm). Setting a cadence alert is similar to setting a heart rate alert. The maximum cadence value allowed is 255.
Training Auto Pause® You can set the Forerunner to pause the timer automatically during your run when you stop moving or when your pace drops below a certain value.

Appendix Heart Rate Information Many runners and other athletes are using heart rate zones to measure and increase their cardiovascular strength and improve their level of fitness. Caution: Consult your physician to specify heart rate zones/targets that are appropriate for your fitness level and health condition. What are heart rate zones? A heart rate zone is simply a range of heartbeats per minute (bpm).
Appendix How can I determine my heart rate zones? See the next page to learn about the benefits of training in each heart rate zone. If you know your maximum heart rate, you can enter it and allow the Forerunner to calculate your Zone % of Max.
Appendix heart rate zones based on the percentages shown below. For more information on setting your heart rate zones, see page 51. About Pairing Pairing is the process of matching sensors, like your heart rate monitor, with your Forerunner 305. This process occurs automatically when you turn on the Forerunner and only takes a few seconds when the sensors are on and functioning correctly. Once paired, your Forerunner will only receive data from your sensor.
Appendix Heart Rate Monitor Troubleshooting If you have trouble pairing with the heart rate monitor, or if your heart rate readings are erratic, try the following suggestions. • Position the Forerunner within 3 meters of the sensor while pairing. • Stay far away from any other sensors while pairing. • Move away from sources of interference (see the previous page). • Restart scan if your Forerunner appears to be paired with another sensor (see page 46).
