2. Select SENSORS and press right to open the SENSORS menu.
3. Select HEART and press right.
You see ON, OFF or EXTERNAL. If the setting is set to ON or EXTERNAL you see bpm which
means that your heart rate is measured in beats per minute.
You then see either your heart rate shown immediately or dashes which blink to show that your
watch is searching for the heart rate sensor.
Tip: When the heart rate is detected, the monitor stays active for another 30 seconds in case you
want to start an activity straight away.
Phone
For information as to why you should want to pair your watch with your phone or mobile device, see
TomTom Sports app.
To pair your watch with a phone or mobile device, see Pairing with your mobile device.
Controlling alerts from your mobile device
Important: The Alerts option is only available when SYNCING is switched ON.
You can control the phone notifications that are shown on your watch. You can choose to be alerted to
incoming calls and texts or to switch notifications off.
From the Clock screen on your watch, press down to open the SETTINGS screen, select PHONE and
then press right. Select MANAGE and then ALERTS.
Select ON to receive alerts on your watch from your mobile device or OFF to switch them off. Your
watch shows a "Do not disturb" icon (phone with ZZZ) on the Clock screen when alerts are off.
Controlling the synchronisation of your activities
You can change when and how your activities are uploaded to your TomTom Sports account by using
this setting.
From the Clock screen on your watch, press down to open the SETTINGS screen, then select PHONE
and press right. Select MANAGE and then SYNCING. Choose from the following options:
 ON - Assuming your watch and mobile device are paired, automatic syncing of your activities to
your Sports account happens when you open the Sports app. Syncing also occurs in the back-
ground when the app is closed.
 OFF (previously "Airplane mode") - This setting saves your battery without you having to unpair
your watch. No syncing can occur, either manual or automatic, and you receive no alerts.
 MANUAL - When set to MANUAL, you need to press a button on your watch to wake up your
watch. Syncing then occurs when the Sports app is opened. This option also allows you to control
battery use. You receive no alerts.
Airplane mode
Note: Only available on older watch models. This has been removed on newer models because
TomTom GPS watches do not, and never have, produced radiation that can interfere with a plane's
systems.
