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 . 4 Select > Sensors > 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 . 2 Select > Sensors > Foot Pod > Cal. 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. 1 Stand outside for 5 minutes with a clear view of the sky. 2 Start a running activity. 3 Run on a track without stopping for 10 minutes. 4 Stop your activity, and save it. Based on the recorded data, the foot pod calibration value changes, if necessary. You should not need to calibrate the foot pod again unless your running style changes. • Go for a ride (Going for a Ride, page 11). Calibrating Your Speed Sensor Before you can calibrate your speed sensor, you must pair your device with a compatible speed sensor (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 19). Manual calibration is optional and can improve accuracy. 1 Hold . 2 Select > Sensors > Speed/Cadence > Wheel Size. 3 Select an option: • Select Auto to automatically calculate your wheel size and calibrate your speed sensor. • Select Manual, and enter your wheel size to manually calibrate your speed sensor (Wheel Size and Circumference, page 25). Club Sensors Your device is compatible with Approach® CT10 golf club sensors. You can use paired club sensors to automatically track your golf shots, including location, distance, and club type. See the owner's manual for your club sensors for more information. Situational Awareness Your vívoactive device can be used with Varia smart bike lights and rearview radar to improve situational awareness. See the owner's manual for your Varia device for more information. NOTE: You may need to update the vívoactive software before pairing Varia devices (Updating the Software Using the Garmin Connect App, page 21). tempe The tempe is an ANT+ wireless temperature sensor. You can attach the sensor to a secure strap or loop where it is exposed to ambient air, and therefore, provides a consistent source of accurate temperature data. You must pair the tempe with your device to display temperature data from the tempe. Device Information Charging the Device WARNING This device contains a lithium-ion battery. See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the product box for product warnings and other important information. NOTICE To prevent corrosion, thoroughly clean and dry the contacts and the surrounding area before charging or connecting to a computer. Refer to the cleaning instructions in the appendix. 1 Plug the small end of the USB cable into the charging port on your device. Using an Optional Bike Speed or Cadence Sensor You can use a compatible bike speed or cadence sensor to send data to your device. • Pair the sensor with your device (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 19). • Set your wheel size (Calibrating Your Speed Sensor, page 20). 2 Plug the large end of the USB cable into a USB charging port. 20 Device Information
