Pairing ANT+ Sensors
The first time you connect a sensor to your device using ANT+
wireless technology, you must pair the device and sensor. After
they are paired, the device connects to the sensor automatically
when you start an activity and the sensor is active and within
range.
NOTE: If a heart rate monitor was bundled with your device, the
included heart rate monitor is already paired with your device.
1
If you are pairing a heart rate monitor, put on the heart rate
monitor (Putting On the Heart Rate Monitor).
The heart rate monitor does not send or receive data until
you put it on.
2
Bring the device within 3 m (10 ft.) of the sensor.
NOTE: Stay 10 m (33 ft.) away from other ANT+ sensors
while pairing.
3
Hold .
4
Select Settings > Sensors > Add New.
5
Select an option:
Select Search All.
Select your sensor type.
After the sensor is paired with your device, the sensor status
changes from Searching to Connected. Sensor data appears
in the data page loop or a custom data field.
Putting On the Heart Rate Monitor
NOTE: If you do not have a heart rate monitor, you can skip this
task.
You should wear the heart rate monitor directly on your skin, just
below your sternum. It should be snug enough to stay in place
during your activity.
1
Snap the heart rate monitor module
À
onto the strap.
The Garmin logos on the module and the strap should be
right-side up.
2
Wet the electrodes
Á
and the contact patches
Â
on the back
of the strap to create a strong connection between your chest
and the transmitter.
3
Wrap the strap around your chest, and connect the strap
hook
Ã
to the loop
Ä
.
NOTE: The care tag should not fold over.
The Garmin logos should be right-side up.
4
Bring the device within 3 m (10 ft.) of the heart rate monitor.
After you put on the heart rate monitor, it is active and sending
data.
TIP: If the heart rate data is erratic or does not appear, see the
troubleshooting tips (Tips for Erratic Heart Rate Data).
Tips for Erratic Heart Rate Data
If the heart rate data is erratic or does not appear, you can try
these tips.
Reapply water to the electrodes and contact patches.
Tighten the strap on your chest.
Warm up for 5–10 minutes.
Follow the care instructions (Caring for the Heart Rate
Monitor).
Wear a cotton shirt or thoroughly wet both sides of the strap.
Synthetic fabrics that rub or flap against the heart rate
monitor can create static electricity that interferes with heart
rate signals.
Move away from sources that can interfere with your heart
rate monitor.
Sources of interference may include strong electromagnetic
fields, some 2.4 GHz wireless sensors, high-voltage power
lines, electric motors, ovens, microwave ovens, 2.4 GHz
cordless phones, and wireless LAN access points.
Using an Optional Bike Cadence Sensor
You can use a compatible bike cadence sensor to send data to
your device.
Pair the sensor with your device (Pairing ANT+ Sensors).
Update your fitness user profile information (Setting Up Your
User Profile).
Go for a ride (Going for a Ride).
Foot Pod
Your device is compatible with the foot pod. You can use the
foot pod to record pace and distance instead of using GPS when
you are training indoors or when your GPS signal is weak. The
foot pod is on standby and ready to send data (like the heart
rate monitor).
After 30 minutes of inactivity, the foot pod powers off to
conserve the battery. When the battery is low, a message
appears on your device. Approximately five hours of battery life
remain.
Foot Pod Calibration
The foot pod is self-calibrating. The accuracy of the speed and
distance data improves after a few outdoor runs using GPS.
Calibrating Your Foot Pod Manually
Before you can calibrate your device, you must pair your device
with the foot pod (Pairing ANT+ Sensors).
Manual calibration is recommended if you know your calibration
factor. If you have calibrated a foot pod with another Garmin
product, you may know your calibration factor.
1
Hold .
2
Select Settings > Sensors > Foot Pod > Calibration
Factor.
3
Adjust the calibration factor:
Increase the calibration factor if your distance is too low.
Decrease the calibration factor if your distance is too high.
tempe
The tempe is an ANT+ wireless temperature sensor. You can
attach the sensor to a secure strap or loop where it is exposed
to ambient air, and therefore, provides a consistent source of
accurate temperature data. You must pair the tempe with your
device to display temperature data from the tempe.
