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.

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 device.

1

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

NOTE: 

Stay 10 m (30 ft.) away from other ANT+ sensors 

while pairing.

The device withstands incidental exposure to water of up to 1 m for up to 30 min.
