Broadcasting Heart Rate Data During an Activity

You can set up your Forerunner device to broadcast your heart rate data automatically when you begin an activity. For example, you can broadcast your heart rate data to an Edge® device while cycling.

NOTE: Broadcasting heart rate data decreases battery life.

  1. From the heart rate widget, hold UP.
  2. Select Options > Broadcast During Activity > On.
  3. Begin an activity (Starting an Activity).

    The Forerunner device starts broadcasting your heart rate data in the background.

    NOTE: There is no indication that the device is broadcasting your heart rate data during an activity.

  4. Pair your Forerunner device with your Garmin ANT+ compatible device.

    NOTE: The pairing instructions differ for each Garmin compatible device. See your owner’s manual.

    TIP: To stop broadcasting your heart rate data, stop the activity (Stopping an Activity).
