Situational Awareness
Your Forerunner device can be used with the 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 Forerunner software before
pairing Varia devices (Updating the Software Using Garmin
Express, page 31).
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.
