Pairing Your Smartphone with Your Device

To use the connected features of the Instinct device, it must be paired directly through the Garmin Connect app, instead of from the Bluetooth settings on your smartphone.

1. From the app store on your smartphone, install and open the Garmin Connect app.
2. Bring your smartphone within 10 m (33 ft.) of your device.
3. Press CTRL to turn on the device.

The first time you turn on the device, it is in pairing mode.

TIP: To manually enter pairing mode, you can hold MENU, and select Settings > Pair Phone.

1. Select an option to add your device to your Garmin Connect account:
   • If this is the first time you are pairing a device with the Garmin Connect app, follow the on-screen instructions.
   • If you already paired another device with the Garmin Connect app, from the or menu, select Garmin Devices > Add Device, and follow the on-screen instructions.
