Sensor Type XERO Laser Locations Description You can view and share laser location information from a Xero device (Xero Laser Location Settings, page 88). Pairing Your Wireless Sensors Before you can pair, you must put on the heart rate monitor or install the sensor. The first time you connect a wireless sensor to your watch using ANT+ or Bluetooth technology, you must pair the watch and sensor. If the sensor has both ANT+ and Bluetooth technology, Garmin recommends that you pair using ANT+ technology. After they are paired, the watch connects to the sensor automatically when you start an activity and the sensor is active and within range. 1 Bring the watch within 3 m (10 ft.) of the sensor. NOTE: Stay 10 m (33 ft.) away from other wireless sensors while pairing. 2 Hold MENU. 3 Select Sensors & Accessories > Add New. TIP: When you start an activity with the Auto Discover option enabled, the watch automatically searches for nearby sensors and asks if you want to pair them. 4 Select an option: • Select Search All Sensors. • Select your sensor type. After the sensor is paired with your watch, the sensor status changes from Searching to Connected. Sensor data appears in the data screen loop or a custom data field. You can customize the optional data fields (Customizing the Data Screens, page 31). HRM-Pro Running Pace and Distance The HRM-Pro series accessory calculates your running pace and distance based on your user profile and the motion measured by the sensor on every stride. The heart rate monitor provides running pace and distance when GPS is not available, such as during treadmill running. You can view your running pace and distance on your compatible epix watch when connected using ANT+ technology. You can also view it on compatible third-party training apps when connected using Bluetooth technology. The pace and distance accuracy improves with calibration. Automatic calibration: The default setting for your watch is Auto Calibrate. The HRM-Pro series accessory calibrates each time you run outside with it connected to your compatible epix watch. NOTE: Automatic calibration does not work for indoor, trail, or ultra run activity profiles (Tips for Recording Running Pace and Distance, page 84). Manual calibration: You can select Calibrate & Save after a treadmill run with your connected HRM-Pro series accessory (Calibrating the Treadmill Distance, page 7). Tips for Recording Running Pace and Distance • Update your epix watch software (Product Updates, page 121). • Complete several outdoor runs with GPS and your connected HRM-Pro series accessory. It's important that your outdoor range of paces matches your range of paces on the treadmill. • If your run includes sand or deep snow, go to the sensor settings, and turn off Auto Calibrate. • If you previously connected a compatible foot pod using ANT+ technology, set the foot pod status to Off, or remove it from the list of connected sensors. • Complete a treadmill run with manual calibration (Calibrating the Treadmill Distance, page 7). • If automatic and manual calibrations don't seem accurate, go to the sensor settings, and select HRM Pace & Distance > Reset Calibration Data. NOTE: You can try turning off Auto Calibrate, and then manually calibrate again (Calibrating the Treadmill Distance, page 7). 84 Sensors and Accessories
