4 Rotate the crank arm to check for clearance. The sensor and bands should not contact any part of your bike or shoe. NOTE: The LED flashes green for five seconds to indicate activity after two revolutions. 5 Take a 15 minute test ride and inspect the sensor and bands to ensure there is no evidence of damage. About the Speed and Cadence Sensors Cadence data from the cadence sensor is always recorded. If no speed and cadence sensors are paired with the device, GPS data is used to calculate the speed and distance. Cadence is your rate of pedaling or "spinning" measured by the number of revolutions of the crank arm per minute (rpm). Data Averaging for Cadence or Power The non-zero data-averaging setting is available if you are training with an optional cadence sensor or power meter. The default setting excludes zero values that occur when you are not pedaling. You can change the value of this setting (Data Recording Settings, page 23). Pairing Your Wireless Sensors Before you can pair, you must put on the heart rate monitor or install the sensor. Pairing is the connecting of ANT+ or Bluetooth wireless sensors, for example, connecting a heart rate monitor with your Garmin device. 1 Bring the device within 3 m (10 ft.) of the sensor. NOTE: Stay 10 m (33 ft.) away from other riders' sensors while pairing. 2 Select > Sensors > Add Sensor. 3 Select an option: • Select a sensor type. • Select Search All to search for all nearby sensors. A list of available sensors appears. 4 Select one or more sensors to pair with your device. 5 Select Add. When the sensor is paired with your device, the sensor status is Connected. You can customize a data field to display sensor data. Training with Power Meters • Go to www.garmin.com/intosports for a list of ANT+ sensors that are compatible with your device (such as Vector™). • For more information, see the owner's manual for your power meter. • Adjust your power zones to match your goals and abilities (Setting Your Power Zones, page 17). • Use range alerts to be notified when you reach a specified power zone (Setting Range Alerts, page 21). • Customize the power data fields (Adding a Data Screen, page 20). Setting Your Power Zones The values for the zones are default values and may not match your personal abilities. You can manually adjust your zones on the device or using Garmin Connect. If you know your functional threshold power (FTP) value, you can enter it and allow the software to calculate your power zones automatically. 1 Select My Stats > Training Zones > Power Zones. 2 Enter your FTP value. 3 Select Based On:. 4 Select an option: • Select watts to view and edit the zones in watts. • Select % FTP to view and edit the zones as a percentage of your functional threshold power. Calibrating Your Power Meter Before you can calibrate your power meter, you must install it, pair it with your device, and begin actively recording data with it. For calibration instructions specific to your power meter, see the manufacturer's instructions. 1 Select > Sensors. 2 Select your power meter. 3 Select Calibrate. 4 Keep your power meter active by pedaling until the message appears. 5 Follow the on-screen instructions. Pedal-Based Power Vector measures pedal-based power. Vector measures the force you apply a few hundred times every second. Vector also measures your cadence or rotational pedaling speed. By measuring the force, the direction of force, the rotation of the crank arm, and time, Vector can determine power (watts). Because Vector independently measures left and right leg power, it reports your left-right power balance. NOTE: The Vector S system does not provide left-right power balance. Cycling Dynamics Cycling dynamics metrics measure how you apply power throughout the pedal stroke, and where you apply power on the pedal, allowing you to understand your particular way of riding. Understanding how and where you produce power allows you to train more efficiently and evaluate your bike fit. NOTE: You must have a compatible, dual sensing power meter to use cycling dynamics metrics. For more information, go to www.garmin.com/performance-data. Using Cycling Dynamics Before you can use cycling dynamics, you must pair the Vector power meter with your device (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 17). NOTE: Recording cycling dynamics uses additional device memory. 1 Go for a ride. 2 Scroll to the cycling dynamics screen to view your power phase data , total power , and platform center offset .
