Wireless Sensors

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

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 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 .
4
Select > Sensors > 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 appears at
the top of the screen.

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 (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors,
page 20).
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.
1
Hold .
2
Select > Sensors > Foot Pod > Cal. Factor.
3
Adjust the calibration factor:
• Increase the calibration factor if your distance is too low.
• Decrease the calibration factor if your distance is too high.

Improving Foot Pod Calibration

Before you can calibrate your device, you must acquire GPS
signals and pair your device with the foot pod
Wireless Sensors, page 20).
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.
1
Stand outside for 5 minutes with a clear view of the sky.
2
Start a running activity.
3
Run on a track without stopping for 10 minutes.

Using an Optional Bike Speed or Cadence
Sensor
You can use a compatible bike speed or cadence sensor to
send data to your device.
• Pair the sensor with your device
• Set your wheel size
• Go for a ride

Calibrating Your Speed Sensor

Before you can calibrate your speed sensor, you must pair your
device with a compatible speed sensor

Club Sensors

Your device is compatible with Approach
sensors. You can use paired club sensors to automatically track
your golf shots, including location, distance, and club type. See
the owner's manual for your club sensors for more information.

Situational Awareness

Your Venu device can be used with Varia smart bike lights and
rearview radar to improve situational awareness. See the
owner's manual for your Varia device for more information.
NOTE: You may need to update the Venu software before
pairing Varia devices

tempe

The tempe is an ANT+ wireless temperature sensor. You can
attach the sensor to a secure strap or loop where it is exposed
to ambient air, and therefore, provides a consistent source of
accurate temperature data. You must pair the tempe with your
device to display temperature data from the tempe.

About the OLED Display

By default, the watch settings are optimized for battery life and
performance

button to wake the device.
Stop your activity, and save it.
Based on the recorded data, the foot pod calibration value
changes, if necessary. You should not need to calibrate the
foot pod again unless your running style changes.
