Pairing and Setup

Pairing the Heart Rate Monitor with Your ANT+
Before you can pair the heart rate monitor with your device, you must put on the heart rate monitor.
Pairing is the connecting of ANT+ wireless sensors, like your heart rate monitor, with a Garmin
compatible device.
NOTE: The pairing instructions differ for each Garmin compatible device. See your owner's manual.
• For most Garmin compatible devices, bring the device within 3 m of the heart rate monitor and use the device
menu to pair manually.
• For some Garmin compatible devices, bring the device within 1 cm of the heart rate monitor to pair
automatically.
TIP: Stay 10 m (33 ft.) away from other ANT+ sensors while pairing.
After you pair the first time, your Garmin compatible device automatically recognizes the heart rate monitor
each time it is activated and in range.
