Pairing Your Wireless Sensors

The first time you connect a wireless sensor to your watch 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.

  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.

  1. Press .
  2. Select Settings > Sensors & Accessories.
  3. Select Add New.
  4. Select a sensor type.
  5. Bring the watch within 3 m (10 ft.) of sensor, and wait while pairs with sensor.

After the watch connects to the sensor, an icon appears at the top of the screen.
