Tips for Pairing ANT+ Accessories with Your Garmin Device
• Verify that the ANT+ accessory is compatible with your Garmin device.
• Before you pair the ANT+ accessory with your Garmin device, move 10 m (33 ft.) away from other ANT+
accessories.
• Bring the Garmin device within range 3 m (10 ft.) of the ANT+ accessory.
• After you pair the first time, your Garmin device automatically recognizes the ANT+ accessory each time it
is activated. This process occurs automatically when you turn on the Garmin device and only takes a few
seconds when the accessories are activated and functioning correctly.
• When paired, your Garmin device receives data from only your accessory, and you can go near other
accessories.
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.
Displaying tempe Data
When displaying tempe data for the first time, you should complete these tasks to customize the device and
data fields.
1 Pair your tempe sensor (
Pairing Your ANT+ Sensors, page 16
).
2 Customize data fields to display the temperature data (
Customizing the Data Fields, page 10
).
