Sensor Type

Description

APPLIED BALLISTICS

You can use Applied Ballistics devices, such as rangefinders or wind sensors, and view additional ballistics information on your navigator.

HEART RATE MONITOR

You can use an external sensor, such as the HRM-Pro or HRM-Dual heart rate monitor, to view heart rate data during your activities.

INREACH REMOTE

The inReach remote function allows you to control your inReach satellite communicator using your Foretrex navigator.

TEMPE SENSOR

You can attach the tempe temperature sensor to a secure strap or loop where it is exposed to ambient air, so it provides a consistent source of accurate temperature data.

VECTRONIX

You can use Vectronix® rangefinders, and view additional ballistics information on your navigator.

XERO

You can view and share laser location information from a Xero device.

Pairing Your ANT+ Sensors

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

Pairing is the connecting of ANT+ wireless sensors, for example, connecting a heart rate monitor with your device.

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

NOTE: Stay 10 m (30 ft.) away from other ANT+ sensors while pairing.

  1. From the menu page, select CONNECT.
  2. Select your sensor.
  3. Select SEARCH FOR NEW.

When the sensor is paired with your device, the sensor status changes from SEARCHING to CONNECTED.

Tips for Pairing Wireless Sensors

  • Verify that the sensor is compatible with your Garmin device.
  • Before you pair the sensor with your Garmin device, move 10 m (33 ft.) away from other sensors with ANT+ technology.
  • Bring the Garmin device within range 3 m (10 ft.) of the sensor.
  • After you pair the first time, your Garmin device automatically recognizes the sensor each time it is activated. This process occurs automatically when you turn on the Garmin device and only takes a few seconds when the sensors are activated and functioning correctly.
  • When paired, your Garmin device receives data from only your sensor, and you can go near other sensors.
