Labeling your data logs

-- It's critical to label your heart rate data logs for future reference and meaningful comparisons.

Several ways to do this:

Add Activity Description: Right click on time/ date stamp of training log and select EDIT. Then in new window select an activity from your list or pre-programed ACTIVITIES (this will now appear beside Activity in Details 1 tab). Then in the box under this type in notes regarding the session (notes will now appear in details 2 tab).

{If you don't have any choices yet in the Activity drop-down window you can add them by closing out and Selecting coaches NAME ICON (top of list of athletes) and selecting SETTINGS tab (middle screen), click EDIT and in new window click ADD button and type in New Activities.}

-- Another way to label the data logs: right click on data log and select RENAME, and "tag" the time and date stamp with something relevant, "Game", "Practice", "Stadium Stairs" etc.

-- Still another way to add useful descriptive information to a log. Go to MARKS tab and select EDIT MARK and add a name to a data point in marks, such as Start Drills, Warm-up, Game Intensity etc.

Team POD Antenna Use, Abuse and Replacement

-- It is important to store the Team POD in the case with the antenna connected.

-- By taking the antenna off and putting it on repeatedly, over time it is possible to break down the good, clean connection and diminish the strength of the Team POD.

-- I do have a limited number of replacement antennas if there is a need but please take care and only remove the antenna when you must and then be careful when screwing it on again.
