optional sensors, go to http://buy.garmin.com.

Pairing Your ANT+ Sensors

The first time you connect a wireless sensor to your device using ANT+ technology, 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 Install the sensor or put on the heart rate monitor. The heart rate monitor does not send or receive data until
you put it on.
2 Bring the device within 3 m (10 ft.) of the sensor.
NOTE: Stay 10 m (33 ft.) away from other ANT+ sensors while pairing.
3 From the watch face, hold UP.
4 Select > Sensors & Accessories > Add New.
5 Select an option:
• Select Search All.
• Select your sensor type.
After the sensor is paired with your device, the sensor status changes from Searching to Connected. Sensor
data appears in the data screen loop or a custom data field.

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.

Going for a Run Using a Foot Pod

Before you go for a run, you must pair the foot pod with your Forerunner device
page 28).
You can run indoors using a foot pod to record pace, distance, and cadence. You can also run outdoors using a
foot pod to record cadence data with your GPS pace and distance.
1 Install your foot pod according to the accessory instructions.
2 Select a running activity.
3 Go for a run.
