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.
Putting On the Heart Rate Monitor
NOTE: If you do not have a heart rate monitor, you can skip this
task.
You should wear the heart rate monitor directly on your skin,
just below your breastplate. It should be snug enough to stay in
place during your activity.
1
Snap the heart rate monitor module
À
onto the strap.
2
Wet both electrodes
Á
on the back of the strap to create a
strong connection between your chest and the transmitter.
3
If the heart rate monitor has a contact patch
Â
, wet the
contact patch.
4
Wrap the strap around your chest, and connect the strap
hook
Ã
to the loop.
The Garmin logo should be right-side up.
5
Bring the device within range (3 m) of the heart rate monitor.
After you put on the heart rate monitor, it is on standby and
ready to send data.
TIP: If the heart rate data is erratic or does not appear, you may
have to tighten the strap on your chest or warm up for 5–10
minutes.
