Sensor Pairing
If this sensor was included with a wind device, the sensor and
device are paired at the factory.
If this sensor was purchased separately, or if you want to use it
with a different compatible Garmin device, you must pair the
sensor with the compatible device.
If the sensor is not paired with a compatible device, it
automatically searches for a device. No action is required on the
sensor to initiate pairing mode.
See the latest owner's manual for your compatible Garmin
device for wireless pairing instructions. You may need to
download the latest version of the owner's manual from
.

Maintenance and Storage
• If needed, you should use a mild soap solution to clean the
wind transducer, and rinse it with water. Do not use
detergents or high-pressure water.
• It is recommended to remove the wind transducer and store it
in a dry location if it will not be used for long periods of time.
• When storing the wind transducer, it is best to store it in a
location where it is exposed to light. This maintains the
battery charge in the device.
• If you store the wind transducer in a dark location, it is
recommended to replace the battery at the beginning of each
season. Replacement batteries are available from your local
Garmin dealer, or from
