Pairing the Tacx Alpine with Your Trainer and the App

For optimal performance and training features, Garmin® recommends pairing the Tacx® Alpine with your compatible trainer and the Tacx Training app.

  1. Connect your compatible Tacx trainer to external power.
  2. Pair your compatible Tacx trainer with the Tacx Training app.
  3. Update the trainer software, if there is an update available.
  4. From the Tacx Training app, select Settings > Device Manager.
  5. Wake up the trainer, and put it in pairing mode.
  6. On the Tacx Alpine, hold AUTO for 3 seconds.

    After you release the button, all of the LEDs flash quickly, and then the Trainer LED symbol and Phone LED symbol LEDs flash while the Tacx Alpine searches for the trainer and the app. When connected, the Trainer LED symbol and Phone LED symbol LEDs are solid.

  7. On the Tacx Training app, tap on the Tacx Alpine to pair, and wait for the connected device to turn green.
  8. On the Tacx Alpine, press AUTO so the LED is solid.

    Automatic training mode means that the Tacx Alpine automatically follows the grade of the course.

  9. Select a course.
  10. Start pedaling.
