HOW TO LINK ANT+ COMPATIBLE DEVICES

THE ANT+ MODULE AND COMPATIBLE DEVICES
The console has an ANT+ module that allows the
console to communicate with ANT+ compatible heart
rate monitors, fitness watches, and mobile
devices.
There are many brands of ANT+
compatible heart rate monitor telemetric
chest straps available. The symbol
shown here indicates that a heart rate
monitor is compatible with the ANT+
module in the console.
There are also many brands of ANT+ compatible fitness
watches and mobile devices available. These
devices can capture your ride data wirelessly, so you
do not have to insert a USB drive into the USB port
on the console to save your ride data. Many of these
devices can also transfer your ride data wirelessly to
training programs on computers, mobile devices, and
websites. Visit www.thisisant.com/directory for a list of
ANT+ compatible products
The symbol shown here indicates
the location of the ANT+ module in
the console, and thus the location
where the wireless signal is the
strongest. Place compatible devices
close to this symbol when linking to the console.
Before you can use the ANT+ module with a compatible
device, you must link (pair) the device to the ANT+
module.
See HOW TO LINK A HEART RATE MONITOR at the
right to link your ANT+ compatible heart rate monitor to
the ANT+ module.
See HOW TO LINK A FITNESS WATCH OR MOBILE
DEVICE on page 19 to link your ANT+ compatible
fitness watch or mobile device to the ANT+ module.
HOW TO LINK A HEART RATE MONITOR
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to use your
ANT+ compatible heart rate monitor.
1. Put on the heart rate monitor and position
yourself near the console.
You must be within 12 inches (30 centimeters) of
the console to link the heart rate monitor to the
ANT+ module in the console.
2. Activate the console and select the WARM UP
mode.
See HOW TO ACTIVATE THE CONSOLE on page
11. Then, press the STAGE button to enter the
WARM UP mode.
Note:
The console must be in the WARM UP
mode to link to an ANT+ compatible heart rate
monitor. The heart rate monitor cannot link to the
ANT+ module when the console is in the STAGE
mode.
3. Link the heart rate monitor to the ANT+
module in the console.
When the WARM UP mode is selected, the ANT+
module will link to the heart rate monitor.
The heart symbol will flash in the heart rate
display and the console will show heart rate data.
Note:
After the heart rate monitor is linked to the
ANT+ module in the console, the ANT+ module
will be able to receive heart rate signals within an
area encompassing all the riding positions of the
exercise bike.
