      If you're having trouble pairing your heart rate monitor, foot pod, or GSC 10 with your Garmin Forerunner watch: * Stay 10 meters away from other ANT+ accessories. * Ensure the Forerunner is within 3 meters of the sensor. * Restart the scan for the accessory. * Make sure the accessory is sending data (for example, you need to be wearing the heart rate monitor). If the problem persists, try replacing the battery in the accessory.
