Pairing Your Wireless Sensors

The first time you connect a wireless ANT‍+® or Bluetooth® sensor to your Garmin® watch, 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.

TIP: Some ANT‍+ sensors pair with your watch automatically when you start an activity with the sensor turned on and near the watch.
  1. Move at least 10 m (33 ft.) away from other wireless sensors.
  2. If you are pairing a heart rate monitor, put on the heart rate monitor.

    The heart rate monitor does not send or receive data until you put it on.

  3. Hold Letter B symbol.
  4. Select Settings symbol > Sensors & Accessories > Add New.
  5. Bring the watch within 3 m (10 ft.) of the sensor, and wait while the watch pairs with the sensor.

    After the watch connects to the sensor, an icon appears at the top of the screen.
