centers can provide a test that measures maximum heart rate.
The default maximum heart rate is 220 minus your age.
Tips for Erratic Heart Rate Data
If the heart rate data is erratic or does not appear, you can try
these tips.
• Reapply water to the electrodes and contact patches.
• Tighten the strap on your chest.
• Warm up for 5–10 minutes.
• Follow the care instructions (
).
• Wear a cotton shirt or thoroughly wet both sides of the strap.
Synthetic fabrics that rub or flap against the heart rate
monitor can create static electricity that interferes with heart
rate signals.
• Move away from sources that can interfere with your heart
rate monitor.
Sources of interference may include strong electromagnetic
fields, some 2.4 GHz wireless sensors, high-voltage power
lines, electric motors, ovens, microwave ovens, 2.4 GHz
cordless phones, and wireless LAN access points.
Installing the Speed Sensor
NOTE:
If you do not have this sensor, you can skip this task.
TIP:
Garmin recommends you secure your bike on a stand while
installing the sensor.
1
Place and hold the speed sensor on top of the wheel hub.
2
Pull the strap
À
around the wheel hub, and attach it to the
hook
Á
on the sensor.
The sensor may be tilted when installed on an asymmetrical
hub. This does not affect operation.
3
Rotate the wheel to check for clearance.
The sensor should not contact other parts of your bike.
NOTE:
The LED flashes green for five seconds to indicate
activity after two revolutions.
Installing the Cadence Sensor
NOTE:
If you do not have this sensor, you can skip this task.
TIP:
Garmin recommends you secure your bike on a stand while
installing the sensor.
1
Select the band size that fits your crank arm
À
securely.
The band you select should be the smallest one that
stretches across the crank arm.
2
On the non-drive side, place and hold the flat side of the
cadence sensor on the inside of the crank arm.
3
Pull the bands
Á
around the crank arm, and attach them to
the hooks
Â
on the sensor.
4
Rotate the crank arm to check for clearance.
The sensor and bands should not contact any part of your
bike or shoe.
NOTE:
The LED flashes green for five seconds to indicate
activity after two revolutions.
5
Take a 15 minute test ride and inspect the sensor and bands
to ensure there is no evidence of damage.
About the Speed and Cadence Sensors
Cadence data from the cadence sensor is always recorded. If no
speed and cadence sensors are paired with the device, GPS
data is used to calculate the speed and distance.
Cadence is your rate of pedaling or “spinning” measured by the
number of revolutions of the crank arm per minute (rpm).
Data Averaging for Cadence or Power
The non-zero data-averaging setting is available if you are
training with an optional cadence sensor or power meter. The
default setting excludes zero values that occur when you are not
pedaling.
You can change the value of this setting (
).
Pairing Your ANT+ Sensors
Before you can pair, you must put on the heart rate monitor or
install the sensor.
Pairing is the connecting of ANT+ wireless sensors, for example,
connecting a heart rate monitor with your Garmin device.
1
Bring the device within 3 m (10 ft.) of the sensor.
NOTE:
Stay 10 m (33 ft.) away from other riders' ANT+
sensors while pairing.
2
Select
>
Settings
>
Sensors
>
Add Sensor
.
3
Select an option:
• Select a sensor type.
• Select
Search All
to search for all nearby sensors.
A list of available sensors appears.
4
Select one or more sensors to pair with your device.
5
Select
Add
.
When the sensor is paired with your device, the sensor status
is Connected. You can customize a data field to display
sensor data.
Training with Power Meters
• Go to
for a list of ANT+ sensors
that are compatible with your device (such as Vector
™
).
• For more information, see the owner's manual for your power
meter.
• Adjust your power zones to match your goals and abilities
(
).
• Use range alerts to be notified when you reach a specified
power zone (
).
• Customize the power data fields (
).
