After customizing settings, sync your data to apply the changes 

to your device (

Using 

Garmin Connect on Your Computer

, page 16

).

Wireless Sensors

Your device can be used with wireless ANT+ or Bluetooth 

sensors. For more information about compatibility and 

purchasing optional sensors, go to 

buy.garmin.com

.

Pairing Your Wireless Sensors

The first time you connect a wireless ANT+ or Bluetooth sensor 

to your Garmin device, you must pair the device and sensor. 

After they are paired, the device connects to the sensor 

automatically when you start an activity and the sensor is active 

and within range.

TIP: 

Some ANT+ sensors pair with your device automatically 

when you start an activity with the sensor turned on and near 

the device.

1

Move at least 10 m (33 ft.) away from other wireless sensors.

2

If you are pairing a heart rate monitor, put on the heart rate 

monitor.
The heart rate monitor does not send or receive data until 

you put it on.

3

Hold  .

4

Select   > 

Sensors

 > 

Add New

.

5

Bring the device within 3 m (10 ft.) of the sensor, and wait 

while the device pairs with the sensor.
After the device connects to the sensor, an icon appears at 

the top of the screen.

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.

Calibrating Your Foot Pod

Before you can calibrate your foot pod, you must pair your 

device with the foot pod (

Pairing Your Wireless Sensors

page 20

).

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.

1

Hold  .

2

Select   > 

Sensors

 > 

Foot Pod

 > 

Cal. Factor

.

3

Adjust the calibration factor:
• Increase the calibration factor if your distance is too low.
• Decrease the calibration factor if your distance is too high.

Improving Foot Pod Calibration

Before you can calibrate your device, you must acquire GPS 

signals and pair your device with the foot pod (

Pairing Your 

Wireless Sensors

, page 20

).

The foot pod is self-calibrating, but you can improve the 

accuracy of the speed and distance data with a few outdoor runs 

using GPS.

1

Stand outside for 5 minutes with a clear view of the sky.

2

Start a running activity.

3

Run on a track without stopping for 10 minutes.

4

Stop your activity, and save it.
Based on the recorded data, the foot pod calibration value 

changes, if necessary. You should not need to calibrate the 

foot pod again unless your running style changes.

Using an Optional Bike Speed or Cadence 

Sensor

You can use a compatible bike speed or cadence sensor to 

send data to your device.
• Pair the sensor with your device (

Pairing Your Wireless 

Sensors

, page 20

).

• Set your wheel size (

Calibrating Your Speed Sensor

page 20

).

• Go for a ride (

Going for a Ride

, page 11

).

Calibrating Your Speed Sensor

Before you can calibrate your speed sensor, you must pair your 

device with a compatible speed sensor (

Pairing Your Wireless 

Sensors

, page 20

).

Manual calibration is optional and can improve accuracy.

1

Hold  .

2

Select   > 

Sensors

 > 

Speed/Cadence

 > 

Wheel Size

.

3

Select an option:
• Select 

Auto

 to automatically calculate your wheel size and 

calibrate your speed sensor.

• Select 

Manual

, and enter your wheel size to manually 

calibrate your speed sensor (

Wheel Size and 

Circumference

, page 25

).

Club Sensors

Your device is compatible with Approach

®

 CT10 golf club 

sensors. You can use paired club sensors to automatically track 

your golf shots, including location, distance, and club type. See 

the owner's manual for your club sensors for more information.

Situational Awareness

Your Venu device can be used with Varia smart bike lights and 

rearview radar to improve situational awareness. See the 

owner's manual for your Varia device for more information.

NOTE: 

You may need to update the Venu software before 

pairing Varia devices (

Updating the Software Using the Garmin 

Connect App

, page 21

).

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.

Device Information

About the OLED Display

By default, the watch settings are optimized for battery life and 

performance (

Maximizing Battery Life

, page 22

).

Image persistence, or pixel "burn-in," is normal behavior for 

OLED devices. To extend the display life, you should avoid 

displaying static images at high brightness levels for long time 

periods. To minimize burn-in, the Venu display turns off after the 

selected timeout (

Display Settings

, page 19

). You can turn your 

wrist toward your body, double-tap the touchscreen, or press a 

button to wake the device.
