Bring the device within 3 m (10 ft.) of the heart rate monitor.
After you put on the heart rate monitor, it is active and sending
data.
TIP:
If the heart rate data is erratic or does not appear, see the
troubleshooting tips (
Tips for Erratic Heart Rate 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.
• Tighten the strap on your chest.
• Warm up for 5–10 minutes.
• Follow the care instructions (
).
• 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.
Using an Optional Bike Cadence Sensor
You can use a compatible bike cadence sensor to send data to
your device.
• Pair the sensor with your device (
).
• Update your fitness user profile information (
).
• Go for a ride (
).
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.
Foot Pod Calibration
The foot pod is self-calibrating. The accuracy of the speed and
distance data improves after a few outdoor runs using GPS.
Calibrating Your Foot Pod Manually
Before you can calibrate your device, 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.

Adjust the calibration factor:
• Increase the calibration factor if your distance is too low.
• Decrease the calibration factor if your distance is too high.
tempe
The tempe is an ANT+ wireless temperature sensor. You can
attach the sensor to a secure strap or loop where it is exposed
to ambient air, and therefore, provides a consistent source of
accurate temperature data. You must pair the tempe with your
device to display temperature data from the tempe.

chlorine, salt water, sunscreen, cosmetics, alcohol, or other
harsh chemicals. Prolonged exposure to these substances can
damage the case.
Avoid pressing the keys under water.
Avoid extreme shock and harsh treatment, because it can
degrade the life of the product.
Do not store the device where prolonged exposure to extreme
temperatures can occur, because it can cause permanent
damage.
Cleaning the Device
NOTICE
Even small amounts of sweat or moisture can cause corrosion
of the electrical contacts when connected to a charger.
Corrosion can prevent charging and data transfer.
1
Wipe the device using a cloth dampened with a mild
detergent solution.
2
Wipe it dry.
After cleaning, allow the device to dry completely.
Metal Watch Band Adjustment
If your watch includes a metal watch band, you should take your
