Tips for Pairing ANT+ Accessories with Your Garmin Device
• Verify that the ANT+ accessory is compatible with your Garmin device.
• Before you pair the ANT+ accessory with your Garmin device, move 10 m (32.9 ft.) away from other ANT+
accessories.
• Bring the Garmin device within range 3 m (10 ft.) of the ANT+ accessory.
• After you pair the first time, your Garmin device automatically recognizes the ANT+ accessory each time it
is activated. This process occurs automatically when you turn on the Garmin device and only takes a few
seconds when the accessories are activated and functioning correctly.
• When paired, your Garmin device receives data from only your accessory, and you can go near other
accessories.
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.
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

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.
