Wireless Sensors

Your device can be used with wireless ANT+ or Bluetooth

sensors. For more information about compatibility and

purchasing optional sensors, go to buy.garmin.com.

Pairing Your Wireless Sensors

The first time you connect a wireless sensor to your device

using ANT+ or Bluetooth 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.

If you are pairing a heart rate monitor, put on the heart rate

monitor.

The heart rate monitor does not send or receive data until

you put it on.

Bring the device within 3 m (10 ft.) of the sensor.

NOTE: Stay 10 m (33 ft.) away from other wireless sensors

while pairing.

Hold UP.

Select Settings > Sensors & Accessories > Add New.

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 screen loop or a custom data field.

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.

Going for a Run Using a Foot Pod

Before you go for a run, you must pair the foot pod with your

Forerunner device (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 21).

You can run indoors using a foot pod to record pace, distance,

and cadence. You can also run outdoors using a foot pod to

record cadence data with your GPS pace and distance.

Install your foot pod according to the accessory instructions.

Select a running activity.

Go for a run.

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.

Improving Foot Pod Calibration

Before you can calibrate your device, you must acquire GPS

signals and pair your device with the foot pod (Pairing Your

Wireless Sensors, page 21).

The foot pod is self-calibrating, but you can improve the

accuracy of the speed and distance data with a few outdoor runs

using GPS.

Stand outside for 5 minutes with a clear view of the sky.

Start a running activity.

Run on a track without stopping for 10 minutes.

Stop your activity, and save it.

Based on the recorded data, the foot pod calibration value

changes, if necessary. You should not need to calibrate the

foot pod again unless your running style changes.

Calibrating Your Foot Pod Manually

Before you can calibrate your device, you must pair your device

with the foot pod sensor (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors,

page 21).

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.

From the watch face, hold UP.

Select Settings > Sensors & Accessories.

Select your foot pod.

Select Cal. Factor > Set Value.

Adjust the calibration factor:

• Increase the calibration factor if your distance is too low.

• Decrease the calibration factor if your distance is too high.

Setting Foot Pod Speed and Distance

Before you can customize the foot pod speed and distance, you

must pair your device with the foot pod sensor (Pairing Your

Wireless Sensors, page 21).

You can set your device to calculate speed and distance using

your foot pod data instead of GPS data.

From the watch face, hold UP.

Select Settings > Sensors & Accessories.

Select your foot pod.

Select Speed or Distance.

Select an option:

• Select Indoor when you are training with GPS turned off,

usually indoors.

• Select Always to use your foot pod data regardless of the

GPS setting.

Using an Optional Bike Speed or Cadence

Sensor

You can use a compatible bike speed or cadence sensor to

send data to your device.

• Pair the sensor with your device (Pairing Your Wireless

Sensors, page 21).

• Set your wheel size (Wheel Size and Circumference,

page 32).

• Go for a ride (Starting an Activity, page 2).
