My garmin fr60 all of a sudden wont recognize my footpod. i changed the battery but that did not solve the problem. any suggestions
Read this BEFORE you buy a new Garmin footpod because of non-detection issues after replacing batttery.
My battery died and after changing it with a new one I've not been able to detect the footpod with my 910xt until now. I notice that in the cap or lid of the footpod where the battery sits before closing it sits a white piece with contacts for the battery. I had inadvertently taken this out when replacing the battery, which is fine BUT you have to put it back in a certain position. If you look very closely at the cap where the battery sits you will notice there are tiny grooves where the contacts should sit into. As soon as I line these up with the white contact piece, voila! Footpod was immediately detected. Try it if you are having issues after replacing a new battery.

I ran into same issue, would love to know your fix if you have one......I have an email into Garmin for support, because neither of the steps below worked for me.
From what I gathered, you need to try these steps first
a) hold enter and mode simultaneously 4+ seconds to reset the device, or
b) (THIS STEP WILL DELETE YOUR DATA) hold mode, light, and up simultaneously for 4+ seconds.

As your Forerunner 50 first time was syncronized with your husbands footpod, now it is linked to him and that's why it can't find yours. You may even have to reinstall software, but I'm not sure. Try this link and you may find wht you are looking for:

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
