Tips for Erratic Heart Rate Data

If the heart rate data is erratic or does not appear, you can try 

these tips.
• Clean and dry your arm before putting on the device.
• Avoid wearing sunscreen under the device.
• Wear the device above your wrist bone. The device should 

be snug but comfortable.

NOTE: 

You can try wearing the device higher on your 

forearm. You can try wearing the device on your other arm.

• Warm up for 5 to 10 minutes and get a heart rate reading 

before starting your activity.

NOTE: 

In cold environments, warm up indoors.

• Rinse the device with fresh water after each workout.
• While exercising, use a silicone band.

Viewing the Heart Rate Widget

The widget displays your current heart rate in beats per minute 

(bpm), your lowest resting heart rate for today, and a graph of 

your heart rate.

1

From the clock, select 

DOWN

.

2

Select 

START

 to view your average resting heart rate values 

for the last 7 days.

Broadcasting Heart Rate Data to Garmin Devices

You can broadcast your heart rate data from your D2 Bravo 

device and view it on paired Garmin devices. For example, you 

can broadcast your heart rate data to an Edge

®

 device while 

cycling, or to a VIRB

®

 action camera during an activity.

NOTE: 

Broadcasting heart rate data decreases battery life.

1

Hold 

UP

.

2

Select 

Settings

 > 

Sensors

 > 

Wrist Heart Rate

 > 

Broadcast 

HR

.

The D2 Bravo device starts broadcasting your heart rate 

data, and 

 appears.

NOTE: 

You can view only the heart rate widget while 

broadcasting heart rate data.

3

Pair your D2 Bravo device with your Garmin ANT+ 

compatible device.

NOTE: 

The pairing instructions differ for each Garmin 

compatible device. See your owner's manual.

TIP: 

To stop broadcasting your heart rate data, select any 

key, and select Yes.

Turning Off the Wrist Heart Rate Monitor

For the D2 Bravo Titanium, the default value for the Wrist Heart 

Rate setting is Auto. The device automatically uses the wrist-

based heart rate monitor unless you pair an ANT+ heart rate 

monitor to the device.

Putting On the Heart Rate Monitor

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.

1

If necessary, attach the strap extender to the heart rate 

monitor.

2

Wet the electrodes 

À

 on the back of the heart rate monitor to 

create a strong connection between your chest and the 

transmitter.

3

Wear the heart rate monitor with the Garmin logo facing right-

side up.

The loop 

Á

 and hook 

Â

 connection should be on your right 

side.

4

Wrap the heart rate monitor around your chest, and connect 

the strap hook to the loop.

NOTE: 

Make sure the care tag does not fold over.

After you put on the heart rate monitor, it is active and sending 

data.

Tips for Erratic Heart Rate Data

If the heart rate data is erratic or does not appear, you can try 

these tips.
• Reapply water to the electrodes and contact patches (if 

applicable).

• Tighten the strap on your chest.
• Warm up for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Follow the care instructions (

Caring for the Heart Rate 

Monitor

, page 24

).

• Wear a cotton shirt or thoroughly wet both sides of the strap.

Synthetic fabrics that rub or flap against the heart rate 

monitor can create static electricity that interferes with heart 

rate signals.

• Move away from sources that can interfere with your heart 

rate monitor.
Sources of interference may include strong electromagnetic 

fields, some 2.4 GHz wireless sensors, high-voltage power 

lines, electric motors, ovens, microwave ovens, 2.4 GHz 

cordless phones, and wireless LAN access points.

Running Dynamics

You can use your compatible D2 Bravo device paired with the 

HRM-Run

 accessory to provide real-time feedback about your 

running form. If your D2 Bravo device was packaged with the 

HRM-Run accessory, the devices are already paired.
The HRM-Run accessory has an accelerometer in the module 

that measures torso movement in order to calculate six running 

metrics.

Cadence

: Cadence is the number of steps per minute. It 

displays the total steps (right and left combined).

Vertical oscillation

: Vertical oscillation is your bounce while 

running. It displays the vertical motion of your torso, 

measured in centimeters for each step.
