I have read the instructions for your watch and I found nothing in there that was helpful.

I am having a guess here but perhaps the memory is full (did you see the "Lo mem" warning?

Try downloading the memory to your computer if you can with a blank screen!

As a last resort, go to theri web site and find the "contact us " phone number and ask the maker.

Take your watch to your nearest watch shop and ask them to do it for you.

You can get into difficulty replacing batteries and it is not worth the risk for the small cost saving.

Hi,

I've been having the same problem. I couldn't pair my footpod, but my heart rate monitor was working. I've only had the 50 for about eight weeks.

I reset the watch, holding view mode and Start/Stop at the same time.
This didn't do any good.

I swapped the battery in the HRM with that in the foot pod. The foot pod synched the HRM didn't.

Solution duff battery. I'd change yours it will probably do the trick.

Hope it helps

Took out the battery for 3 min and put that back

The belt will not blink

Try this , I have to took out my watch battery and let it sit for 3 min . Then sit the battery back. That is how I get my to work

you need to pair them

Yes. When in Train mode, press and hold start/stop to enter the settings mode and press the View button until "Auto" appears to turn on AutoLap, then set the distance to 1.00. your watch will beep at every mile and automatically record each mile split for you. ... its one of my favorite features!

First you have to assume the battery that comes with your HRM would be new - keep in mind that it may be stored in the warehouse for many moons.
Given that, open and take out the battery - that should make a hard reset on the HRM itself. Restore the battery and try the manual pairing again.
The heart icon should pop up again.

Otherwise, you have to suspect the battery is low and need to be replaced.

Good luck

"lobatt" display is the watch battery. The foot pod uses the LED to indicate low battery and the heart rate monitor wont give a reading.

Press the Start/Stop button when in History Mode

I was having the same problem and came across your post - I figured out how to change the secondary display.  While in Train mode, with your foot pod activated, hold the View button.  The secondary display will change and say "CAD" or "PACE"...keep doing this until you get to the right display.  Hope this helps!

There are tiny hooks. Get an eyeglass and you will find them. For easy fitting bend clip legs inwards a bit (do not brake). If hooks are not damaged clip should stay on.

have you tried the factory reset?

I re-read the manual properly this time. Thanks.
