Setting an Abnormal Heart Rate Alert
You can set the device to alert you when your heart rate exceeds a certain number of beats per minute (bpm)
after a period of inactivity.
1 From the heart rate widget, hold MENU.
2 Select Options > Abnormal HR Alert > Status > On.
3 Select Alert Threshold.
4 Select a heart rate threshold value.
Each time you exceed the threshold value, a message appears and the device vibrates.
Turning Off the Wrist-based Heart Rate Monitor
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.
1 From the heart rate widget, hold MENU.
2 Select Options > Status > Off.
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 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 and hook
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.
