Installing the Cadence Sensor

NOTE: If you do not have this sensor, you can skip this task.
TIP: Garmin® recommends you secure your bike on a stand while installing the sensor.
  1. Select the band size that fits your crank arm Callout number 1 securely.

    The band you select should be the smallest one that stretches across the crank arm.

  2. On the non-drive side, place and hold the flat side of the cadence sensor on the inside of the crank arm.
  3. Pull the bands Callout number 2 around the crank arm, and attach them to the hooks Callout number 3 on the sensor.

  4. Rotate the crank arm to check for clearance.

    The sensor and bands should not contact any part of your bike or shoe.

    NOTE: The LED flashes green for five seconds to indicate activity after two revolutions.
  5. Take a 15 minute test ride and inspect the sensor and bands to ensure there is no evidence of damage.
