Pairing ANT+ Sensors
The first time you connect a sensor to your device using ANT+
wireless technology, 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.
NOTE: If a heart rate monitor was bundled with your device, the
included heart rate monitor is already paired with your device.

If you are pairing a heart rate monitor, put on the heart rate
monitor (Putting On the Heart Rate Monitor, page 17).
The heart rate monitor does not send or receive data until
you put it on.
2
Bring the device within 3 m (10 ft.) of the sensor.
NOTE: Stay 10 m (33 ft.) away from other ANT+ sensors
while pairing.

changes from Searching to Connected. Sensor data appears
in the data page loop or a custom data field.
Putting On the Heart Rate Monitor
NOTE: If you do not have a heart rate monitor, you can skip this
task.
You should wear the heart rate monitor directly on your skin, just
below your sternum. It should be snug enough to stay in place
during your activity.

Snap the heart rate monitor module
À
onto the strap.
The Garmin logos on the module and the strap should be
right-side up.

on the back
of the strap to create a strong connection between your chest
and the transmitter.
