Pairing Your Smartphone

To use the connected features of the vívoactive 3 Element device, it must be paired directly through the Garmin Connect Mobile app, instead of from the Bluetooth settings on your smartphone.

  2. Select an option to enable pairing mode on your device:
    • If this is the first time you are setting up your device, hold the key to turn on the device.
    • If you previously skipped the pairing process or paired your device with a different smartphone, hold the touchscreen, and select Settings > Phone > Pair Phone to manually enter pairing mode.
  3. Select an option to add your device to your Garmin Connect account:
    • If this is the first device you have paired with the Garmin Connect Mobile app, follow the on-screen instructions.
    • If you have already paired another device with the Garmin Connect Mobile app, from the settings menu, select Garmin Devices > Add Device, and follow the on-screen instructions.
