instead of from the Bluetooth settings on your phone.

The first time you turn on the device, you will select the device language. The next screen prompts you to pair
with your phone.
TIP: You can swipe down on the home screen to view the settings widget, and select Phone > Pair
Smartphone to manually enter pairing mode.
3 Select an option to add your device to your Garmin Connect account:
• If this is the first device you have paired with the Garmin Connect app, follow the on-screen instructions.
• If you have already paired another device with the Garmin Connect app, from the
or
menu, select
Garmin Devices > Add Device, and follow the on-screen instructions.
NOTE: Setting up Wi‑Fi and sleep mode usage on your device enables the device to sync with all your data
such as training stats, course downloads, and software updates (
).
After you pair successfully, a message appears, and your device syncs automatically with your phone.
