Reset Your Forerunner 205

The Forerunner 205 is a GPS device made by Garmin. This particular GPS device is made specifically for runners and, aside from the precise satellite location, has features such as a heart rate monitor and the distance traveled. As with many electronic devices, the Forerunner 205 may run into minor hardware or software glitches and freeze up. In such situations, a reset may be enough to solve the problem.


Instructions


1. Press and hold the "Mode" and "Power" buttons simultaneously until the device turns off. It should take no more than a few seconds to turn off.


2. Remove and replace the battery in the back of the device if the first technique does not work. The Forerunner 205 automatically shuts off once the battery is removed.


3. Update the Forerunner 205 to the latest software update to ensure that you have the best software available. Connect the device to a computer with a USB cord and run the WebUpdater software. Follow the on-screen prompts to update the software. See the link in the Resources section if you do not have the latest version of WebUpdater.
