Pairing Your Smartphone

To use the connected features of the vívoactive® HR device, it must be paired directly through the Garmin Connect™ Mobile app, instead of from the Bluetooth® settings on your smartphone.

  1. From the app store on your smartphone, install and open the Garmin Connect Mobile app.
  2. Hold Back symbol to turn on the device.

    The first time you turn on the device, you will select the device language. The next screen prompts you to pair with your smartphone.

    TIP: You can hold Menu symbol and select Settings > Bluetooth to manually enter pairing mode.
  3. Select an option to add your device to your Garmin Connect account:

    • If this is the first device you have paired with the Garmin Connect Mobile app, follow the on-screen instructions.

    • If you have already paired another device with the Garmin Connect Mobile app, from the settings menu, select Garmin Devices > Add Device, and follow the on-screen instructions.

After you pair successfully, a message appears, and your device syncs automatically with your smartphone.
