device connects to the sensor automatically when you start
an activity and the sensor is active and within range.
1 If you are pairing a heart rate monitor, put on
the
heart rate monitor (Putting On the Heart Rate
Monitor, page 16).
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 wireless
sensors while pairing.
3 Hold .
4 Select Settings > Sensors & Accessories > Add
New.
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.
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.
Going for a Run Using a Foot Pod
Before you go for a run, you must pair the foot pod
with
your Forerunner device (Pairing Your Wireless
Sensors,
page 37).
You can run indoors using a foot pod to record pace,
distance, and cadence. You can also run outdoors using a
foot pod to record cadence data with your GPS pace and
distance.
1 Install your foot pod according to the accessory
instructions.
2 Select a running activity.
3 Go for a run.
Foot Pod Calibration
The foot pod is self-calibrating. The accuracy of the speed
and distance data improves after a few outdoor runs using
GPS.
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 37).
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 37).
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.
1 From the watch face, hold .
2 Select Settings > Sensors & Accessories.
3 Select your foot pod.
4 Select Cal
�
Factor > Set Value.
5 Adjust the calibration factor:
• Increase the calibration factor if your distance is too
low.
• Decrease the calibration factor if your distance 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 (Pairing
Your Wireless Sensors, page 37).
You can set your device to calculate speed and distance using
your foot pod data instead of GPS data.
1 From the watch face, hold .
2 Select Settings > Sensors & Accessories.
3 Select your foot pod.
4 Select Speed or Distance.
5 Select an option:
• Select Indoor when you are training with GPS
turned off, usually indoors.
• Select Always to use your foot pod data
regardless of the GPS setting.
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 37).
Set your wheel size (Wheel Size and Circumference,
page 56).
