2 Starting Up the Forerunner 101
Welcome Page
To turn on the Forerunner 101:
1. Press and hold the POWER button until the Welcome Page is
displayed.
2. Allow the Forerunner time to track satellites the first time you
use it. Leave the Forerunner outside with a clear view of the sky
for 15-30 minutes. After the first use, it should take less than
one (1) minute to acquire satellites.
3. When the Forerunner acquires enough satellite signals to
determine your location, the satellite dish icon in the upper left
corner of the screen stops flashing.
Forerunner 101 Icons
Three icons in the upper left-hand corner provide at-a-glance-
status of the Forerunner: battery icon, timer icon, and satellite dish
icon.
Battery icon: The battery icon indicates how much
battery power is left before the batteries must be replaced.
A full battery icon indicates fully-charged batteries.
Timer icon: When the stopwatch feature of the Fore-
runner is being used, the timer icon displays just below the
battery icon.
Satellite Dish icon: When the Forerunner has acquired
enough satellites to establish your GPS location fix, this
icon displays just below the timer icon.

Forerunner 101 Setup
1 Installing Batteries
The Forerunner 101 operates on two AAA alkaline batteries (not
included), which are placed in the back of the unit. Rechargeable
alkaline, NiMH, NiCad, or lithium batteries may be used. See page
30 of the Owner’s Manual for instructions on selecting battery type.
Stored data will not be lost while batteries are being changed.
However, if batteries are completely discharged and are not changed
within a couple of days, it may take longer for the unit to get a GPS
signal fix.
To install the batteries:
1. Remove the battery cover by inserting a coin in the bottom slot.
Twist the coin to lift the cover up and pull away.
2. Compare the battery polarity with the diagram in the battery
compartment and install the batteries accordingly.
3. To re-install the battery cover, slide the top portion into the
appropriate slot, then snap the bottom section securely to the
base of the unit.
Forerunner 101 Battery Life
Your Forerunner 101 should get about 14-15 hours out of use
before the batteries need to be replaced.
