EdgeTM 205/305 Owner's Manual 9 GETTING STARTED Position the Edge For best results, position the Edge with the face oriented toward the sky. This position allows the GPS antenna to acquire satellite information quickly. You can install the bike mount to the stem or handlebars. The stem installation (shown here) provides a more sturdy location. The optional wedge should be used under the mount for a better viewing angle. To install the Edge on your bike stem: 1. Place the wedge on the bike stem, and then place the bike mount on the wedge. Make sure the release lever is on the left. 10 release lever wedge (optional) bike mount For horizontal bars: Separate and remove the top part of the mount, turn it 90 degrees, and replace. Continue with step 2. For bars with a diameter less than 1 in (25.4 mm): Place the additional rubber pad under the bike mount to increase the diameter of the bar. The rubber pad also keeps the mount from slipping. Continue with step 2. EdgeTM 205/305 Owner's Manual GETTING STARTED 2. Attach the bike mount securely using two cable ties. Make sure the cable ties are threaded through both parts of the bike mount. 3. Align the Edge with the bike mount so that the unit is vertical. 4. Slide the unit left until it snaps into place.

It may take 30­60 seconds to acquire signals. To acquire satellite signals: Go outdoors to an open area. Then press and hold the Power button to turn on the Edge. On the Satellite page, the available satellites are flashing while the Edge searches for satellite signals. Acquired satellites and each corresponding bar below change to solid. The GPS accuracy appears at the top of the page. Wait while the Edge searches for satellites. For best reception, make sure the Edge is facing up. Stand still in an open area, and do not begin moving until the Satellite page disappears. After the Satellite page disappears, you can begin your ride. NOTE: To turn off GPS receiver and use the Edge indoors, see page 56. EdgeTM 205/305 Owner's Manual 13 GETTING STARTED NOTE: The heart rate monitor is an accessory for the Edge 305 only. Position the Heart Rate Monitor information on customizing the data fields on your Edge. To use the heart rate monitor: 1. Push one tab on the elastic strap through the slot in the heart rate monitor. 2. Wet both sensors on the back of the heart rate monitor to create a strong connection between your pulse and the transmitter. Wear the heart rate (HR) monitor directly on your skin, just below the breastplate. It should be snug enough to stay in place during your workout. To view heart rate information on your Edge during a workout, you must add it to the data fields on one of the data pages. See page 54 for more sensors 14 EdgeTM 205/305 Owner's Manual GETTING STARTED 3. Place the heart rate monitor directly on your skin, just below the breastplate. Wrap the strap around your chest and attach the strap to the other side of the heart rate monitor. NOTE: If you have trouble with erratic heart rate readings, position the transmitter on your back instead of your chest, or try applying electrode gel. 6. Bring it within range (3 meters) of the heart rate monitor. The heart rate monitor automatically transmits your heart rate to the Edge, and the heart rate icon changes from flashing to constant. TIP: Be sure to move away from other heart rate monitors while the Edge is trying to "pair" with your heart rate monitor and begin receiving heart rate data. Once the Edge pairs with your heart rate monitor, you can go near other heart rate monitors. For more information on pairing, training, and troubleshooting, see pages 71-75. 4. Tighten or loosen the strap as necessary so that it fits snugly against your body. 5. Turn on the Edge.
