Hi all, can anyone please help. I have a 310xt with hrm, the soft strap version. I started getting odd hr readings so tried changing the battery and now I don't get any reading. I have put the old battery in and nothing. I left it for over a min before putting the new battery in, I went to heart rate in run settings, turned hr off then turned it back on and nothing, pressing enter on restart scan and it takes me back a menu so I don't know if it is scanning. The hr icon is showingup next to the battery life on the screen. Can anyone help ? This is very frustrating! Thanks all T

Try wetting the black contact points on the strap.  Turn off the garmin, then start it again after you put the belt on. I have found that I get a slew of bad data if I don't wet the black contact points before I put it on.

Hi rsm, thanks for the reply, I had tried this too to no avail. However I read somewhere I should pop the battery in backwards to reset the unit so i did this and got it working straight away, thanks for your help and happy new year!
