Wireless Sensors

Your device can be used with wireless ANT+ or
Bluetooth sensors. For more information about
compatibility and purchasing optional sensors, go to
Garmin.com.sg/buy.

Pairing Your Wireless Sensors

The first time you connect a wireless ANT+ or
Bluetooth sensor to your Garmin device, you must pair
the device and sensor.
After they are paired, the device connects to the
Wireless Sensors
sensor automatically when you start an activity and
the sensor is active and within range.
TIP: Some ANT+ sensors pair with your device
automatically when you start an activity with the
sensor turned on and near the device.
1 Move at least 10 m (33 ft.) away from other
wireless sensors.
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 Hold the touchscreen.
4 Select Settings > Sensors & Accessories > Add
New.
5 Bring the device within 3 m (10 ft.) of the sensor,
and wait while the device pairs with the sensor.
After the device connects to the sensor, an icon

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.

Calibrating Your Foot Pod

Before you can calibrate your foot pod, you must pair
your device with the foot pod

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.

2 Select Settings > Sensors & Accessories > Foot
Pod > Calib� Factor.
3 Adjust the calibration factor:
• Increase the calibration factor if your distance is

is too high.

Improving Foot Pod Calibration

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.
