to ensure there is no evidence of damage.
About the Speed and Cadence Sensors
Cadence data from the cadence sensor is always recorded. If no
speed and cadence sensors are paired with the device, GPS
data is used to calculate the speed and distance.
Cadence is your rate of pedaling or “spinning” measured by the
number of revolutions of the crank arm per minute (rpm).
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 sternum. It should be snug enough to stay in place
during your activity.
Snap the heart rate monitor module À onto the strap.

The Garmin logos on the module and the strap should be

After you put on the heart rate monitor, it is active and sending

TIP: If the heart rate data is erratic or does not appear, see the
troubleshooting tips (Tips for Erratic Heart Rate Data,
page 7).
Tips for Erratic Heart Rate Data
If the heart rate data is erratic or does not appear, you can try
these tips.
• Reapply water to the electrodes and contact patches (if
applicable).
• Tighten the strap on your chest.
• Warm up for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Follow the care instructions (Caring for the Heart Rate
Monitor,
• Wear a cotton shirt or thoroughly wet both sides of the strap.
Synthetic fabrics that rub or flap against the heart rate
monitor can create static electricity that interferes with heart
rate signals.
• Move away from sources that can interfere with your heart
rate monitor.
Sources of interference may include strong electromagnetic
fields, some 2.4 GHz wireless sensors, high-voltage power
lines, electric motors, ovens, microwave ovens, 2.4 GHz
cordless phones, and wireless LAN access points.

Fitness Goals
Knowing your heart rate zones can help you measure and
improve your fitness by understanding and applying these
principles.
• Your heart rate is a good measure of exercise intensity.
• Training in certain heart rate zones can help you improve
cardiovascular capacity and strength.
If you know your maximum heart rate, you can use the table
(Heart Rate Zone Calculations, page 13) to determine the best
heart rate zone for your fitness objectives.
If you do not know your maximum heart rate, use one of the
calculators available on the Internet. Some gyms and health
centers can provide a test that measures maximum heart rate.
The default maximum heart rate is 220 minus your age.
Recovery Advisor
You can use your Garmin device with a heart rate monitor to
display how much time remains before you are fully recovered
and ready for the next hard workout.
Recovery time: The recovery time appears immediately
following an activity. The time counts down until it is optimal
for you to attempt another hard workout.
Viewing Your Recovery Time
Before you can use the recovery time feature, you must put on
the heart rate monitor, and pair it with your device (Pairing Your
Wireless Sensors, page 8). If your device was packaged with
a heart rate monitor, the device and sensor are already paired.
For the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup,
and set your maximum heart rate (Setting Up Your User Profile,
page 4).

indication of athletic performance and should increase as your
level of fitness improves. VO2 max. estimates are provided and
supported by Firstbeat. You can use your Garmin
with a compatible heart rate monitor and power meter to display
your cycling VO2 max. estimate.
Getting Your VO2 Max. Estimate
Before you can view your VO2 max. estimate, you must put on
the heart rate monitor, install the power meter, and pair them
with your device (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 8). If
your device was packaged with a heart rate monitor, the device
and sensor are already paired. For the most accurate estimate,
complete the user profile setup, and set your maximum heart
rate (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 4).

Tips for Cycling VO2 Max. Estimates
The success and accuracy of the VO2 max. calculation
improves when your ride is a sustained and moderately hard
effort, and where heart rate and power are not highly variable.
• Before your ride, check that your device, heart rate monitor,
and power meter are functioning properly, paired, and have
good battery life.
• During your 20 minute ride, maintain your heart rate at
greater than 70% of your maximum heart rate.
• During your 20 minute ride, maintain a fairly constant power
output.
• Avoid rolling terrain.
• Avoid riding in groups where there is a lot of drafting.
