Pairing Your Wireless Sensors

Before you can pair, you must put on the heart rate monitor or install the sensor.

The first time you connect a wireless sensor to your device using ANT+ or Bluetooth technology, you must pair the device and sensor. If the sensor has both ANT+ and Bluetooth technology, Garmin recommends that you pair using ANT+ technology. After they are paired, the Edge bike computer connects to the sensor automatically when you start an activity and the sensor is active and within range.

NOTE: If your device was packaged with a sensor, they are already paired.

  1. Bring the device within 3 m (10 ft.) of sensor.

NOTE: Stay 10 m (33 ft.) away from other riders’ sensors while pairing.

  1. Select > Sensors > Add Sensor.
  2. Select an option:
    • Select a sensor type.
    • Select Search All to search for all nearby sensors.

A list of available sensors appears.

  1. Select one or more sensors to pair with your device.
  2. Select Add.

When the sensor is paired with your device, the sensor status is Connected. You can customize a data field to display sensor data.
