Data Transfers
The device receives data from compatible activity trackers using
ANT low power wireless technology. The device scans for the
periodic beacons of nearby compatible activity trackers.
When a compatible activity tracker is detected, the device
establishes a connection and sends updated time and settings
data to the activity tracker. The device downloads activity files
from the activity tracker and transfers the files to Garmin
Connected Services over a wireless network. The device
disconnects from the activity tracker automatically after the data
transfer is complete, and it resumes scanning for other
compatible activity trackers. If the device is connected to a TV or
monitor for normal use, the status screen displays the
synchronization progress.
NOTE:
When the device is connected to a TV or monitor, for
confidentiality purposes, a connected activity tracker appears on
the screen using an automatically assigned code. If a user
wants to identify the code associated with their activity tracker,
the user should initiate a connection when no other activity
trackers are in the area, and observe the status screen.
Advanced Configuration
After the initial device setup is complete, it is locked and can be
accessed only by an administrator using the device lock
password.
Unlocking the Device
Before you can unlock the device, you must connect the device
to a TV or monitor.
