, washers
3
Use a 4 mm hex key to loosely attach each bolt to the sole of
the shoe.
4
Adjust the cleat to the shoe in your preferred position.
This can be adjusted after a trial ride.
5
Tighten the cleat firmly to the shoe.
NOTE: Garmin recommends torque of 4 to 6 lbf-ft. (5 to 8 N-
m).
Adjusting the Release Tension
Do not overtighten the release tension screw on the bottom of
the pedal. The release tension should be adjusted equally for
both pedals.
Use a 3 mm hex key to adjust the release tension of each
pedal.
There is a window on the back of the pedal binding that
shows the allowable range.

About the Vector 3S System

The single-sensing Vector 3S measures forces on the left pedal
in order to approximate your total power. For information about
upgrading, see
Upgrading Your Vector 3S to a Dual Sensing
System, page
6.
NOTE: The Vector 3S system does not support cycling
dynamics.

Pairing Vector with Your Edge 1030

Before you can view Vector data on the Edge device, you must
pair the devices.
Pairing is the connecting of ANT+
procedure contains instructions for the Edge 1030. If you have
another compatible device, see
page
6, or go to www.garmin.com/manuals/vector3.
1
Bring the Edge device within range (3 m) of the sensor.
NOTE: Stay 10 m away from other ANT+ sensors while
pairing.
2
Turn on the Edge device.
3
Select
> Sensors > Add Sensor > Power.
4
Rotate the crank arm.
5
Select your sensor.
6
Select Add.
When the sensor is paired with your device,
can customize a data field to display power data

Your First Ride

Before you ride with Vector for the first time, you must enter the
crank length. The Vector system automatically calibrates after
each ride. You must also enter the crank length when you move
Vector to another bike.

Training

Pedal-Based Power

Vector measures pedal-based power.
Vector measures the force you apply a few hundred times every
second. Vector also measures your cadence or rotational
pedaling speed. By measuring the force, the direction of force,
the rotation of the crank arm, and time, Vector can determine
power (watts). Because Vector independently measures left and
right leg power, it reports your left-right power balance.
NOTE: The Vector S system does not provide left-right power
balance.

Cycling Dynamics

Cycling dynamics metrics measure how you apply power
throughout the pedal stroke, and where you apply power on the
pedal, allowing you to understand your particular way of riding.
Understanding how and where you produce power allows you to
train more efficiently and evaluate your bike fit.
NOTE: You must have a dual sensing Vector system to use
cycling dynamics metrics.
For more information, go to www.garmin.com/cyclingdynamics.
Using Cycling Dynamics
Before you can use cycling dynamics, you must pair the Vector
power meter with your device
1030, page
2).
NOTE: Recording cycling dynamics uses additional device
memory.
