Compass

The watch has a 3-axis compass with automatic calibration. The compass features and appearance change
depending on your activity, whether GPS is enabled, and whether you are navigating to a destination.

Calibrating the Compass Manually

Calibrate the electronic compass outdoors. To improve heading accuracy, do not stand near objects that
influence magnetic fields, such as vehicles, buildings, and overhead power lines.
Your watch was already calibrated at the factory, and the watch uses automatic calibration by default. If you
experience irregular compass behavior, for example, after moving long distances or after extreme temperature
changes, you can manually calibrate the compass.

ambient air, so it provides a consistent source of accurate temperature data.

Pairing Your Wireless Sensors

Before you can pair, you must put on the heart rate monitor or install the sensor.
The first time you connect a wireless sensor using ANT+ or Bluetooth technology, you must pair the watch and
sensor. If the sensor has both ANT+ and Bluetooth technology, Garmin recommends that you pair using ANT+
technology. After they are paired, the watch connects to the sensor automatically when you start an activity and
the sensor is active and within range.
TIP: Some ANT+ sensors pair with your watch automatically when you start an activity with the sensor turned
on and near the watch.
1 Bring the watch within 3 m (10 ft.) of the sensor.
NOTE: Stay 10 m (33 ft.) away from other wireless sensors while pairing.
