ANT+ Sensors
Your device can be used with wireless ANT+ sensors. For more
information about compatibility and purchasing optional sensors,
go to http://buy.garmin.com.
Pairing ANT+ Sensors
Pairing is the connecting of ANT+ wireless sensors. The first
time you connect a sensor to your Garmin device, 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.
1
Stay 10 m (33 ft.) away from other ANT+ sensors while
pairing.
2
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.
3
Select .
4
Select an activity.
5
Bring the device within 1 cm of the sensor, and wait while the
device connects to the sensor.
When the device detects the sensor, an icon appears at the
top of the screen.
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.
Improving Foot Pod Calibration
Before you can calibrate your device, you must acquire GPS
signals and pair your device with the foot pod (Pairing ANT+
Sensors, page 12).
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.
1
Stand outside for 5 minutes with a clear view of the sky.
2
Start a running activity.
3
Run on a track without stopping for 10 minutes.
4
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
Before you can calibrate your foot pod, you must pair your
device with the foot pod (Pairing ANT+ Sensors, page 12).
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 > Calib. 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.
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 ANT+ Sensors,
page 12).
Update your fitness user profile information (Setting Up Your
User Profile, page 9).
Set your wheel size (Calibrating Your Speed Sensor,
page 12).
Go for a ride (Going for a Ride, page 5).
Calibrating Your Speed Sensor
Before you can calibrate your speed sensor, you must pair your
device with a compatible speed sensor (Pairing ANT+ Sensors,
page 12).
Manual calibration is optional and can improve accuracy.
1
Hold .
2
Select Settings > Sensors > Speed/Cadence > Wheel
Size.
3
Select an option:
Select Auto to automatically calculate your wheel size and
calibrate your speed sensor.
Select Manual, and enter your wheel size to manually
calibrate your speed sensor (Wheel Size and
Circumference, page 16).
Situational Awareness
Your vívoactive HR device can be used with the Varia Vision
device, Varia smart bike lights, and rearview radar to improve
situational awareness. See the owner's manual for your Varia
device for more information.
NOTE: You may need to update the vívoactive HR software
before pairing Varia devices (Updating the Software Using
Garmin Connect Mobile, page 14).
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.
Managing ANT+ Sensors
You can manually add, turn on, turn off, or remove ANT+
sensors.
1
Hold .
2
Select Settings > Sensors.
3
Select a sensor.
4
Select an option.
