Paul S Feb 2008 8:35pm, 13 Feb 2008 50 posts	Quote Pin Paul S StringSideUp. As to the not resetting problem. This happened to me a few weeks ago and i think that i had accidently switched the auto multisport function on in the training menu. To fix it I reset by holding down the lap button as previously described and made sure it was switched to RUNNING and not OTHER, by going to the settings menu, go into the running menu and select USE THIS SPORT and press enter.

If you've already registered on the Garmin site, then you try to register on the Motion Based site, it will give you an error saying your e-mail address is already registered, or something close to that. Just use the same user ID and password you used on the Garmin site, and that will work.
