Wireless Sensors Your device can be used with wireless ANT+ or Bluetooth sensors. For more information about compatibility and purchasing optional sensors, go to buy.garmin.com. Pairing Your Wireless Sensors The first time you connect a wireless ANT+ or Bluetooth sensor to your Garmin device, 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. TIP: Some ANT+ sensors pair with your device automatically when you start an activity with the sensor turned on and near the device. 1 Move at least 10 m (33 ft.) away from other wireless sensors. 2 If you are pairing a heart rate monitor, put on the heart rate monitor. The heart rate monitor does not send or receive data until you put it on. 3 Hold the touchscreen. 4 Select Settings > Sensors & Accessories > Add New. 5 Bring the device within 3 m (10 ft.) of the sensor, and wait while the device pairs with the sensor. After the device connects to the sensor, an icon appears at the top of the screen. Foot Pod Your device is compatible with the foot pod. You can use the foot pod to record pace and distance instead of using GPS when you are training indoors or when your GPS signal is weak. The foot pod is on standby and ready to send data (like the heart rate monitor). After 30 minutes of inactivity, the foot pod powers off to conserve the battery. When the battery is low, a message appears on your device. Approximately five hours of battery life remain. Calibrating Your Foot Pod Before you can calibrate your foot pod, you must pair your device with the foot pod (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 19). Manual calibration is recommended if you know your calibration factor. If you have calibrated a foot pod with another Garmin product, you may know your calibration factor. 1 Hold the touchscreen. 2 Select Settings > Sensors & Accessories > Foot Pod > Calib. Factor. 3 Adjust the calibration factor: • Increase the calibration factor if your distance is too low. • Decrease the calibration factor if your distance is too high. Improving Foot Pod Calibration Before you can calibrate your device, you must acquire GPS signals and pair your device with the foot pod (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 19). The foot pod is self-calibrating, but you can improve the accuracy of the speed and distance data with a few outdoor runs using GPS. Wireless Sensors 19
