Step 1: Charge the Battery
WARNING: This product
contains a lithium-ion battery. See
the Important Safety and Product
Information guide in the product
box for important battery safety
information.
The Edge is powered by a built-in
lithium-ion battery that you can
recharge using the AC charger
included in the product box. You can
also charge the Edge using the USB
cable and your computer. Charge the
Edge for at least three hours before
you begin using it.
GettinG Started
NOTE: To prevent
corrosion, thoroughly
dry the mini-USB
port, weather cap, and
surrounding area before
charging or connecting to
a personal computer.
TIP: The Edge will not
charge when outside the
temperature range of
32°F–122°F (0°C–50°C).
To charge the Edge:
1. On the back of the Edge, pull
up the weather cap from the
mini-USB port.
2. Plug the mini-USB end of
the AC or USB cable into the
mini-USB port on the back of
the Edge.

3. Plug the other end into a
standard wall outlet (AC) or
an available USB port on your

A fully charged battery can run for
approximately 15 hours before it
must be recharged. For more battery
information, see page 60.
Step 2: Install the Edge
For the best GPS reception, position
the bike mount so the front of the
Edge is oriented toward the sky. You
can install the bike mount on the
stem or the handlebars. The stem
installation (shown here) provides a
more sturdy location. The optional
wedge should be used under the
mount for a better viewing angle.
To install the Edge on your
bike stem:
1. Place the wedge on the bike
stem, and then place the bike
mount on the wedge. Make
sure the release lever is on
the left.

turn it 90 degrees, and replace it.
Continue with step 2.
For bars with a diameter less than
1 in (25.4 mm): Place the additional
rubber pad under the bike mount to
increase the diameter of the bar. The
rubber pad also prevents the mount
from slipping. Continue with step 2.
2. Attach the bike mount
securely using two cable ties.
Make sure the cable ties are
threaded through both parts of
the bike mount.

About GPS
The Global Positioning System
(GPS) is a satellite-based navigation
system made up of a network of
24 satellites placed into orbit by
the United States Department
of Defense. GPS was originally
intended for military applications,
but in the 1980s, the government
made the system available for
civilian use. GPS works in any
weather conditions, anywhere in the
world, 24 hours a day. There are no
subscription fees or setup charges to
use GPS.

There are two sensors on the GSC 10:
one for cadence and one for speed.
Cadence data from the GSC 10 is
always recorded. The speed data from
the GSC 10 is only recorded and

Accessories
If you purchased a sensor (with
ANT+Sport wireless technology)
separately, you need to pair it with
your Edge.
What Is Pairing?
Pairing is the connecting of sensors,
such as your heart rate monitor
with your Edge. After you pair the
rst time, your Edge automatically
recognizes your sensor each time
it is activated. This process occurs
automatically when you turn on the
Edge and only takes a few seconds
when the sensors are activated and
functioning correctly. When paired,
your Edge only receives data from
your sensor, and you can go near
other sensors.
SettinGS
To pair accessories:
1. Move away (10 m) from other
sensors while the Edge is
trying to pair with your sensor
for the rst time. Bring your
sensor within range (3 m) of
the Edge.
2. Press
3. For each accessory you have,
menu > select Settings
> ANT+Sport.
select Yes > Restart Scan.
NOTE: For information
about using accessories,
zones, and calibration, see

Troubleshooting
Problem Solution/Answer
The buttons don’t
respond. How do I
reset the Edge?
My Edge never gets
satellite signals.
The battery gauge
does not seem
accurate.
The heart rate
monitor, GSC 10, or
power meter will not
pair with the Edge.
The heart rate monitor
strap is too big.
How do I know my
Edge is in USB mass
storage mode?
I cannot see any new
removable drives in
my list of drives.
Press mode and lap/reset simultaneously to reset the Edge
software. This does not erase any of your data or settings.
Take your Edge out of parking garages and away from tall
buildings and trees. Remain stationary for several minutes.
Allow the Edge to fully discharge, and then fully charge it
(without interrupting the charge cycle).
Stay 10 m away from other ANT sensors while pairing.
•
Bring the Edge within range (3 m) of the heart rate monitor
•
while pairing.
If the problem persists, replace the battery.
•
A smaller elastic strap is sold separately. Go to
http://buy.garmin.com.
When your Edge is in USB mass storage mode, a picture of an
Edge connected to a computer is shown. Also, you should see
two new removable disk drives in My Computer on Windows
computers and mounted volumes on Mac computers.
If you have several network drives mapped on your computer,
Windows may have trouble assigning drive letters to your
Garmin drives. See the Help le for your operating system to
learn how to map/assign drive letters.

sensors can interfere with your heart rate monitor. Sources
of interference may include very high voltage power lines,

away from the source of interference, your heart rate data
should return to normal.
