Wireless Sensors
Your Edge® bike computer can be paired and used with wireless sensors using ANT+® or Bluetooth® technology (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors). After the devices are paired, you can customize the optional data fields (Adding a Data Screen). If your device was packaged with a sensor, they are already paired.
