ANT+ Heart Rate Monitor
Your device can be used with wireless ANT+ sensors. For more information about compatibility and purchasing
optional sensors, go to http://buy.garmin.com.
Pairing Your External Heart Rate Monitor
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 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 External HR.
When the sensor is paired with your device, a message appears. Sensor data appears in the data screen loop
or a custom data field.
Fitness Goals
Knowing your heart rate zones can help you measure and improve your fitness by understanding and applying
these principles.
• Your heart rate is a good measure of exercise intensity.
• Training in certain heart rate zones can help you improve cardiovascular capacity and strength.
If you know your maximum heart rate, you can use the table
determine the best heart rate zone for your fitness objectives.
If you do not know your maximum heart rate, use one of the calculators available on the Internet. Some gyms
and health centers can provide a test that measures maximum heart rate. The default maximum heart rate is
220 minus your age.
About Heart Rate Zones
Many athletes use heart rate zones to measure and increase their cardiovascular strength and improve their
level of fitness. A heart rate zone is a set range of heartbeats per minute. The five commonly accepted
heart rate zones are numbered from 1 to 5 according to increasing intensity. Generally, heart rate zones are
calculated based on percentages of your maximum heart rate.
