Pairing Your External Heart Rate Monitor

The first time you connect a wireless sensor to your device using ANT‍+® technology, you must pair the device and sensor. After they are paired, the device connects to the sensor automatically when you start an activity and the sensor is active and within range.

  1. Put on the heart rate monitor.

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

  2. Bring the device within 3 m (10 ft.) of the sensor.
    NOTE: Stay 10 m (33 ft.) away from other ANT‍+ sensors while pairing.
  3. From the watch face, hold UP.
  4. Select Settings symbol > Sensors & Accessories > Add External HR.

    When the sensor is paired with your device, a message appears. Sensor data appears in the data screen loop or a custom data field.
