Select an option:
• Select BPM to view and edit the zones in beats per
minute.
• Select % Max. to view and edit the zones as a percentage
of your maximum heart rate.
• Select % HRR to view and edit the zones as a percentage
of your resting heart rate.
About Heart Rate Zones
Many athletes use heart rate zones to measure and increase
their cardiovascular strength and improve their level of fitness. A
heart rate zone is a set range of heartbeats per minute. The five
commonly accepted heart rate zones are numbered from 1 to 5
according to increasing intensity. Generally, heart rate zones
are calculated based on percentages of your maximum heart
rate.
Fitness Goals
Knowing your heart rate zones can help you measure and
improve your fitness by understanding and applying these
principles.
• Your heart rate is a good measure of exercise intensity.
• Training in certain heart rate zones can help you improve
cardiovascular capacity and strength.
• Knowing your heart rate zones can prevent you from
overtraining and can decrease your risk of injury.
If you know your maximum heart rate, you can use the table
(
) to determine the best heart rate zone for your
fitness objectives.
If you do not know your maximum heart rate, use one of the
calculators available on the Internet. Some gyms and health
centers can provide a test that measures maximum heart rate.
Installing the GSC 10
NOTE: If you do not have a GSC 10, you can skip this task.
Both magnets must be aligned with their respective indication
lines for the Edge to receive data.
1
Place the GSC 10 on the rear chain stay (on the side
opposite the drive train).
2
If necessary, place the flat rubber pad
À
or the triangle-
shaped rubber pad between the GSC 10 and the chain stay
for stability.
3
Loosely attach the GSC 10 using two cable ties
Á
.
4
Attach the pedal magnet
to the crank arm using the
adhesive mount and a cable tie
Ã
.
The pedal magnet must be within 5 mm of the GSC 10. The
indication line
Ä
on the pedal magnet must line up with the
indication line
Å
on the GSC 10.
5
Unscrew the spoke magnet
Æ
from the plastic piece.
6
Place the spoke in the groove of the plastic piece, and
tighten it slightly.
The spoke magnet can face away from the GSC 10 if there is
not enough room between the sensor arm and the spoke.
The spoke magnet must line up with the indication line
Ç
on
the sensor arm.
7
Loosen the screw
È
on the sensor arm.
8
Move the sensor arm to within 5 mm of the spoke magnet.
You can also tilt the GSC 10 closer to either magnet to
improve alignment.
9
Select Reset
É
on the GSC 10.
The LED turns red, then green.
10
Pedal to test the sensor alignment.
The red LED blinks each time the pedal magnet passes the
sensor. The green LED blinks each time the spoke magnet
passes the sensor arm.
NOTE: The LED blinks for the first 60 passes after a reset.
Select Reset again if you require additional passes.
11
When everything is aligned and working correctly, tighten the
cable ties, the sensor arm, and the spoke magnet.
Garmin recommends that the torque is 1.9 to 2.4 lbf-in. (0.21
to 0.27 N-m) to ensure a water tight seal on the GSC 10
sensor arm.
About the GSC 10
Cadence data from the GSC 10 is always recorded. If there is
no GSC 10 paired, GPS data is used to calculate the speed and
distance.
Cadence is your rate of pedaling or “spinning” measured by the
number of revolutions of the crank arm per minute (rpm). There
are two sensors on the GSC 10: one for cadence and one for
speed.
Data Averaging for Cadence or Power
The non-zero data-averaging setting is available if you are
training with an optional cadence sensor or power meter. The
default setting is to exclude zero values that occur when you are
not pedaling.
To change this setting, see
