Heart Rate Belt for SpeedCoach® GPS / SUP / OC Model 2

When you update the firmware on your GPS unit, the heart rate belt will need to be re-paired. You will also lose all session data currently on the unit.

Yes. If you purchased a heart rate belt with your SpeedCoach GPS 1, it will work with your SpeedCoach GPS 2. Please note that the GPS 2 belt will NOT work with the GPS 1 unit however.

• GPS 1 / SUP 1:NK no longer carries a heart rate belt that works with the SpeedCoach GPS 1. The Wahoo Tickr model is the best choice to use if your original belt no longer works (Please Note: not the Tickr X model however).
  
• GPS 2 / SUP 2 / OC 2: Any heart rate belt that connects with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) should work.

If you are sure that your belt is paired but is either not showing a heart rate or showing an erratic heart rate, it may be one of a couple issues. First if you are getting “---“ make sure there is enough moisture on the heart rate belt’s rubber contacts against your body. Very dry skin may not be enough to create enough of an electrical connection to get a proper reading. Secondly, if these rubber contacts are dirty, this can also cause a problem. Our suggestion is to use mild soap and water and clean the belt occasionally to help prevent dirt build-up. Finally if neither of these suggestions help with your issue, the problem is most likely related to corrosion in the heart rate belt buckle contacts. Please see the document below to clean these contacts to help restore proper connectivity.

For the best success of pairing your heart rate belt with the SpeedCoach, remove the heart rate buckle from the belt and rub the silver contacts with your thumbs. This should put the heart rate belt into rapid pairing mode. Make sure the SpeedCoach is in pairing mode as well and it should pick up the heart rate belt really quickly. If using your thumbs is not working, then please try replacing the battery in the heart rate belt and try again
