Troubleshooting
ProblemSolution/Answer
The buttons do not 
respond. How do I 
restart the FR70? Press and hold MODE and ENTER simultaneously to 
restart the FR70 software. You must reset the time and 
your custom settings. If you are still having problems, 
remove and then replace the battery (see page 35). 
How do I clear all 
user data? This procedure deletes all information that you have 
entered. Press and hold MODE, LIGHT/
, and ▲ 
simultaneously. This also restores the factory settings. 
Workout data is deleted. 
How do I set the 
time to AM or PM? Verify that the time mode is set to 12 (12 hour). Press 
▲/▼ to select the correct hour. The A or P icon 
appears below the seconds on the time page. For more 
information, see page 15. 
The FR70 will not 
send data to my 
computer. See page 28 to enable computer pairing. 
The heart rate 
monitor or foot pod 
will not pair with the 
FR70. • 
Stay 10 m away from other ANT sensors while 
pairing.
•  Bring the FR70 within range (3 m) of the heart rate 
monitor while pairing.
•  If the problem persists, replace the battery. 
How do I change 
the time? See page 15 to set the time.

ProblemSolution/Answer
The heart rate 
monitor strap is 
too big. A smaller elastic strap is sold separately.  
Go to http://buy.garmin.com.
The heart rate data 
is inaccurate or 
erratic. • 
Make sure the heart rate monitor is snug against 
your body.
•  Warm up for 5–10 minutes. If the problem persists, 
continue with the following suggestions.
•  Reapply moisture to the sensors. Use water, saliva, 
or electrode gel. Clean the sensors. Dirt and sweat 
residue on the sensor can interfere with heart rate 
signals.
•  Synthetic fabrics that rub or flap against the heart 
rate monitor can create static electricity that 
interferes with heart rate signals. Wear a cotton shirt 
or wet your shirt if suitable for your activity.
•  Position the heart rate monitor on your back instead 
of your chest.
•  Strong electromagnetic fields and some 2.4 GHz 
wireless sensors can interfere with your heart rate 
monitor. Sources of interference may include very 
high-voltage power lines, electric motors, microwave 
ovens, 2.4 GHz cordless phones, and wireless LAN 
access points. After you move away from the source 
of interference, your heart rate data should return to 
normal.
