Broadcasting Heart Rate Data to Garmin Devices

You can broadcast your heart rate data from your quatix device

and view it on paired Garmin devices.

compatible

device.

NOTE: The pairing instructions differ for each Garmin

compatible device. See your owner's manual.

TIP: To stop broadcasting your heart rate data, press any

button, and select Yes.

Broadcasting Heart Rate Data During an Activity

You can set up your quatix device to broadcast your heart rate

data automatically when you begin an activity. For example, you

device while

cycling, or to a VIRB

action camera during an activity.

NOTE: Broadcasting heart rate data decreases battery life.

From the heart rate widget, hold MENU.

Select Options > Broadcast During Activity.

Begin an activity (Starting an Activity, page 5).

device.

compatible device. See your owner's manual.

activity (Stopping an Activity, page 5).

Setting an Abnormal Heart Rate Alert

CAUTION

This feature only alerts you when your heart rate exceeds or

drops below a certain number of beats per minute, as selected

by the user, after a period of inactivity. This feature does not

notify you of any potential heart condition and is not intended to

treat or diagnose any medical condition or disease. Always defer

to your health care provider for any heart-related issues.

You can set the heart rate threshold value.

From the heart rate widget, hold MENU.

Select Options > Abnormal HR Alert.

Select High Alert or Low Alert.

Set the heart rate threshold value.

Each time your heart rate exceeds or drops below the threshold

value, a message appears and the device vibrates.

Turning Off the Wrist-based Heart Rate Monitor

The default value for the Wrist Heart Rate setting is Auto. The

device automatically uses the wrist-based heart rate monitor

unless you pair an ANT+ heart rate monitor to the device.

NOTE: Disabling the wrist-based heart rate monitor also

disables the wrist-based pulse oximeter sensor. You can

perform a manual reading from the pulse oximeter widget.

From the heart rate widget, hold MENU.

Select Options > Status > Off.

Running Dynamics

You can use your compatible quatix device paired with the

HRM-Tri accessory or other running dynamics accessory to

provide real-time feedback about your running form.

The running dynamics accessory has an accelerometer that

measures torso movement in order to calculate six running

metrics.

Cadence: Cadence is the number of steps per minute. It

displays the total steps (right and left combined).

Vertical oscillation: Vertical oscillation is your bounce while

running. It displays the vertical motion of your torso,

measured in centimeters.

Ground contact time: Ground contact time is the amount of

time in each step that you spend on the ground while

running. It is measured in milliseconds.

NOTE: Ground contact time and balance are not available

while walking.

Ground contact time balance: Ground contact time balance

displays the left/right balance of your ground contact time

while running. It displays a percentage. For example, 53.2

with an arrow pointing left or right.

Stride length: Stride length is the length of your stride from one

footfall to the next. It is measured in meters.

Vertical ratio: Vertical ratio is the ratio of vertical oscillation to

stride length. It displays a percentage. A lower number

typically indicates better running form.

Training with Running Dynamics

Before you can view running dynamics, you must put on a

running dynamics accessory, such as the HRM-Tri accessory,

and pair it with your device (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors,

page 40).

Hold MENU.

Select Activities & Apps.

Select an activity.

Select the activity settings.

Select Data Screens > Add New.

Select a running dynamics data screen.

NOTE: The running dynamics screens are not available for

all activities.

Go for a run (Starting an Activity, page 5).
