your heart rate data automatically when you begin an
activity. For example, you can broadcast your heart
rate data to an Edge device while cycling, or to a
VIRB action camera during an activity.
NOTE: Broadcasting heart rate data decreases
battery life.
1 From the heart rate widget, hold UP.
2 Select Options > Broadcast During Activity.
3
Begin an activity (
Starting an Activity, page 3
).
The Forerunner device starts broadcasting your
heart rate data in the background.
NOTE: There is no indication that the device
is broadcasting your heart rate data during
an activity.
4 If necessary, pair your Forerunner device with
your Garmin ANT+ compatible device.
NOTE: The pairing instructions differ for
each Garmin compatible device. See your
owner’s manual.
TIP: To stop broadcasting your heart rate data,
stop the activity (
Stopping an Activity, page 3
).
Setting an Abnormal Heart Rate Alert
You can set the device to alert you when your
heart rate exceeds a certain number of beats per
minute (bpm) after a period of inactivity.
1 From the heart rate widget, hold UP.
2 Select Options > Abnormal HR Alert > Status >
On.
3 Select Alert Threshold.
4 Select a heart rate threshold value.
Each time you exceed the threshold value, a
message appears and the device vibrates.
Turning Off the Wrist-based Heart Rate Monitor
The default value for the Wrist Heart Rate setting is
Auto. The device automatically uses the wrist-based
heart rate monitor unless you pair an ANT+ heart
rate monitor to the device.
NOTE: Disabling the wrist-based heart rate monitor
also disables the wrist-based pulse oximeter sensor.
1 From the heart rate widget, hold UP.
2 Select Options > Status > Off.
Turning Off Wrist-based Heart Rate While Swimming
Wrist-based heart rate is turned on by default for swim
activities. The device is also compatible with the HRM- Tri™
accessory and the HRM-Swim™ accessory. If both wrist-
based heart rate and chest heart rate data are available,
your device uses the chest heart rate data.
1 From the heart rate widget, hold MENU.
NOTE: You may need to add the widget to
your
widget loop (
Customizing the Widget Loop,
page
29
).
2 Select Options > While Swimming > Off.
