The sensor may be tilted when installed on an asymmetrical
hub. This does not affect operation.
3
Rotate the wheel to check for clearance.
The sensor should not contact other parts of your bike.

Installing the Cadence Sensor

NOTE: If you do not have this sensor, you can skip this task.
TIP: Garmin recommends you secure your bike on a stand while
installing the sensor.
1
Select the band size that fits your crank arm
The band you select should be the smallest one that
stretches across the crank arm.
2 On the non-drive side, place and hold the flat side of the
cadence sensor on the inside of the crank arm.
3
Pull the bands around the crank arm, and attach them to
the hooks on the sensor.
4 Rotate the crank arm to check for clearance.
The sensor and bands should not contact any part of your
bike or shoe.
NOTE: The LED flashes green for five seconds to indicate
activity after two revolutions.
5
Take a 15 minute test ride and inspect the sensor and bands
to ensure there is no evidence of damage.

About the Speed and Cadence Sensors

Cadence data from the cadence sensor is always recorded. If no
speed and cadence sensors are paired with the device, GPS
data is used to calculate the speed and distance.
Cadence is your rate of pedaling or "spinning" measured by the
number of revolutions of the crank arm per minute (rpm).

Data Averaging for Cadence or Power

The non-zero data-averaging setting is available if you are
training with an optional cadence sensor or power meter. The
16
default setting excludes zero values that occur when you are not
pedaling.
You can change the value of this setting

Pairing Your Wireless Sensors

Before you can pair, you must put on the heart rate monitor or
install the sensor.
Pairing is the connecting of ANT+ or Bluetooth wireless sensors,
for example, connecting a heart rate monitor with your Garmin
device.

Bring the device within 3 m (10 ft.) of the sensor.
NOTE: Stay 10 m (33 ft.) away from other riders' sensors
while pairing.
