.

Pairing ANT+ Sensors

Before you can pair ANT+ sensors, Bluetooth wireless 

technology must be turned off (

Pairing Your Smartphone with 

Your fēnix 2 Device

).

The first time you connect a sensor to your device using ANT+ 

wireless technology, you must pair the device and sensor. Once 

paired, the device connects to the sensor automatically when 

you start an activity and the sensor is active and within range.

NOTE: 

If a heart rate monitor was bundled with your device, the 

included heart rate monitor is already paired with your device.

1

If you are pairing a heart rate monitor, put on the heart rate 

monitor (

Putting On the Heart Rate Monitor

).

The heart rate monitor does not send or receive data until 

you put it on.

2

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

NOTE: 

Stay 10 m (33 ft.) away from other ANT+ sensors 

while pairing.

New Search

.

When the sensor is paired with your device, the sensor 

status changes from 

Searching

 to 

Connected

. Sensor data 

appears in the data page loop or a custom data field.

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.

Putting On the Heart Rate Monitor

NOTE: 

If you do not have a heart rate monitor, you can skip this 

task.
You should wear the heart rate monitor directly on your skin, 

just below your breastplate. It should be snug enough to stay in 

place during your activity.

1

Snap the heart rate monitor module 

À

 onto the strap.
