    I’ve changed the batteries 3 times in the HR strap.

    Is it a common fault?

    Is it slipping? Not tight enough?

    Keep the strap wet with saliva/sweat and nice and snug.

    Are you turning into a zombie? Sounds like it’s a contact thing. If you stop and adjust the monitor strap does it start working again? Is it after 10 minutes every time, or more like ‘after a short bit of running it stops’? If the latter then I think of things in this order skin contact, battery movement (contact) or transmitter/receiver ‘interference’. If you bought it in a specialist shop, pop in. They’re usually eager to share their expert knowledge of equipment and sports tips.

    I had this problem. Its the strap, I replaced it with a polar wearlink strap which performed much better. Think it was about £12 so well worth trying.

    I have found the guy on the Garmin UK help desk very helpful on several occassions (factory resets, loosing satellites, screen blanking), the number should be in your users instructions.

    lesanita, I think that link also includes the transmitter. You should only need a strap, and then clip your Garmin transmitter to it like this one…

    Mine is a Garmin 800, so I guess you should just make sure it will work with your GPS first.
