Wireless Sensors
Your device can be used with wireless ANT+ or
Bluetooth sensors. For more information about
compatibility and purchasing optional sensors, go to
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.

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 (
).
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.
