.

 

5

 

Select an option:

 

 

Select 

Search All Sensors

.

 

 

Select your sensor type.

 

After the sensor is paired with your device,

 

the sensor status changes from Searching to Connected. 
Sensor data appears in the data screen loop or a custom 
data field.

 

Extended Display Mode

 

You can use Extended Display mode to display data screens 
from your fēnix device on a compatible Edge device during a 
ride or triathlon. See your Edge owner’s manual for more 
information.

 

Using an Optional Bike Speed or Cadence 
Sensor

 

You can use a compatible bike speed or cadence 
sensor to send data to your device.

 

 

Pair the sensor with your device (

Pairing Your 

Wireless Sensors, page 47

).

 

 

Set your wheel size (

Wheel Size and Circumference, page 

58

).

 

 

Go for a ride (

Starting an Activity, page 3

).

 

Training with Power Meters

 

 

Go to 

Garmin.com.sg/products/intosports 

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 (

Setting Your Power Zones, page 27

).

 

 

Use range alerts to be notified when you reach a

 

specified power zone (

Setting an Alert, page 38

).

 

 

Customize the power data fields (

Customizing the Data 

Screens, page 38

).

 

Using Electronic Shifters

 

Before you can use compatible electronic shifters, such as 
Shimano

® 

Di2™ shifters, you must pair them with your 

device (

Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 47

). You can 

customize the optional data fields (

Customizing the Data 

Screens, page 38

). The fēnix device displays current 

adjustment values when the sensor is in adjustment mode.

 

Situational Awareness

 

Your fēnix device can be used with the Varia Vision™ 
device, Varia™ smart bike lights, and rearview radar to 
improve situational awareness. See the owner’s

 

manual for your Varia device for more information.

 

NOTE: 

You may need to update the fēnix software before 

pairing  Varia  devices  (

Updating the Software Using the 

Garmin Connect App, page 11

).

 

Foot Pod

 

Your device is compatible with the foot pod. You can use 
the foot pod to record pace and distance instead of using 
GPS when you are training indoors or when your GPS 
signal is weak. The foot pod is on standby and ready to 
send data (like the heart rate monitor).

 

After 30 minutes of inactivity, the foot pod powers off to 
conserve the battery. When the battery is low, a message 
appears on your device. Approximately five hours of 
battery life remain.

 

Improving Foot Pod Calibration

 

Before you can calibrate your device, you must acquire GPS 
signals and pair your device with the foot pod (

Pairing Your 

Wireless Sensors, page 47

).

 

The foot pod is self-calibrating, but you can improve the 
accuracy of the speed and distance data with a few 
outdoor runs using GPS.

 

1

 

Stand outside for 5 minutes with a clear view of

 

the sky.

 

2

 

Start a running activity.

 

3

 

Run on a track without stopping for 10 minutes.

 

4

 

Stop your activity, and save it.

 

Based on the recorded data, the foot pod calibration 
value changes, if necessary. You should not need to 
calibrate the foot pod again unless your running style 
changes.

 

Calibrating Your Foot Pod Manually

 

Before you can calibrate your device, you must pair your 
device with the foot pod sensor (

Pairing Your Wireless 

Sensors, page 47

).

 

Manual calibration is recommended if you know your 
calibration factor. If you have calibrated a foot pod with 
another Garmin product, you may know your calibration 
factor.

is too high.

 

Setting Foot Pod Speed and Distance

 

Before you can customize the foot pod speed and distance, 
you must pair your device with the foot pod sensor (
