You must connect your device to the Garmin Connect™ app on your smartphone before you can connect to a Wi‑Fi network.

It is optional and not required to use a Wi‑Fi network with your Index™ BPM device. Your Index BPM device can sync measurements with the Garmin Connect app while connected to a Wi‑Fi network.

The Index BPM device uses security measures to prevent data breaches. For example, the Garmin Connect app uses an authentication key to ensure that you can only pair the device to one smartphone at a time, and you must enter a 6-digit pairing code displayed on your device to complete secured and bonded pairing.

  1. Move within range of a Wi‑Fi network.
  2. Press any button to wake up the device.
  3. Press Menu symbol.

    Bluetooth pairing mode appears.

  6. Enter the security code displayed on your device.
