Pairing Your Wireless Sensors

The first time you connect a wireless sensor to your watch using ANT‍+® or Bluetooth® technology, you must pair the watch and sensor. After they are paired, the watch connects to the sensor automatically when you start an activity and the sensor is active and within range. For more information about connection types, go to garmin.com/hrm_connection_types.

NOTE: The Descent™ transceivers can be paired through the dive setup menu (Pairing a Transceiver with a Descent Dive Computer).
  1. Put on the heart rate monitor, install the sensor, or press the button to wake up the sensor.
    NOTE: See your wireless sensor owner's manual for pairing information.
  2. Bring the watch within 3 m (10 ft.) of the sensor.
    NOTE: Stay 10 m (33 ft.) away from other wireless sensors while pairing.
  3. Hold MENU.
  4. Select Sensors & Accessories > Add New.
  5. Select an option:

    • Select Search All Sensors.

    • Select your sensor type.

    After the sensor is paired with your watch, the sensor status changes from Searching to Connected. Sensor data appears in the data screen loop or a custom data field. You can customize the optional data fields (Customizing the Data Screens).
