Getting Started
Pairing Sensors
The ANT+™ sensors included with 
your watch are already paired. Press 
MODE until training mode appears. 
The 
 and  icons appear on 
the FR60 screen when the sensors are 
paired. 
If you purchased a sensor (with 
ANT+ wireless technology) 
separately, you need to pair it with 
your FR60.
After you pair the first time, your 
FR60 automatically recognizes your 
sensor each time it is activated. This 
process occurs automatically when 
you turn on the FR60 and only takes 
a few seconds when the sensors are 
activated and functioning correctly. 
When paired, your FR60 only 
receives data from your sensor, and 
you can go near other sensors. 
Paring Additional  Accessories 1. Move away (10 m) from other 
sensors while the FR60 is trying 
to pair with your sensor for the 
first time. Bring your sensor within 
range (3 m) of the FR60.
2.  Press MODE > SETTINGS > 
SPORT.
3.  Select RUN, GENERAL, or 
BIKE > HEART RATE, FOOT 
POD, or BIKE SENSOR > ON.
 nOTE: When pairing the foot 
pod, make sure rUn is selected.
4.  While the FR60 scans for new 
sensors, the 
, , and  
icons blink. The icons are solid 
when paired.
  TiP: The accessory needs to 
send data to complete the pairing 
process. You need to wear the 
heart rate monitor, take a step 
wearing the foot pod, or pedal your 
bike with the GSC 10.
