• 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.

About Heart Rate Zones

Many athletes use heart rate zones to measure and increase their cardiovascular strength and improve their level of fitness. A heart rate zone is a set range of heartbeats per minute. The five commonly accepted heart rate zones are numbered from 1 to 5 according to increasing intensity. Generally, heart rate zones are calculated based on percentages of your maximum heart rate.

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 19) 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.

Setting Your Heart Rate Zones

Before the device can determine your heart rate zones, you must set up your fitness user profile (Setting Your Fitness User

Profile, page 15).

You can manually adjust the heart rate zones according to your fitness goals (Fitness Goals, page 12).

From the app drawer, select Setup > Fitness > HR Zones.

Enter the maximum and minimum heart rate for zone 5.

The maximum heart rate for each zone is based on the minimum heart rate of the previous zone. For example, if you enter 167 as a minimum heart rate for zone 5, the device uses 166 as the maximum rate for zone 4.

Enter your minimum heart rate for zones 4-1.

Customizing the Device 13

GPS and GLONASS

The default satellite system setting is GPS + GLONASS, which offers increased performance in challenging environments and faster position acquisition. Using GPS and GLONASS can reduce battery life more quickly than using GPS only.

Appearance Settings

From the app drawer, select Setup > Appearance. Mode: Sets a light background, a dark background, or

automatically switches between the two based on the sunrise and sunset time for your current location.

Day Color: Sets the color for the selections made when in day

mode.

side of the screen when in landscape mode.

Setting the Device Tones

You can customize tones for messages, keys, turn warnings, and alarms.

From the app drawer, select Setup > Tones > Tones > On.

Select a tone for each audible type.

Routing Settings

The available routing settings vary based on the activity selected.

From the app drawer, select Setup > Routing. Activity: Sets an activity used for transportation while routing.

The device calculates routes optimized for the type of activity you are doing.

Calculation Method: Sets the method used to calculate your

route.

Lock On Road: Locks the blue triangle, which represents your

position on the map, onto the nearest road. This is most useful when driving or navigating on roads.

Off Route Recalculation: Sets recalculation preferences when

navigating away from an active route.

Avoidance Setup: Sets the types of roads, terrain, and

transportation methods to avoid while navigating.

Route Transitions: Sets how the device routes from one point

on the route to the next. This setting is available only for some activities. The Distance option routes you to the next point on the route when you are within a specified distance of your current point.

Heading Settings

You can customize the compass settings. From the app drawer, select Setup > Heading. Display: Sets the type of directional heading shown on the

compass.

North Reference: Sets the north reference used on the

compass.

Go To Line (Pointer): Allows you to use the bearing pointer that

points in the direction of your destination, or use the course pointer that shows your relationship to the course line leading to the destination.

Compass: Automatically switches from an electronic compass

to a GPS compass when you are traveling at a higher rate of speed for a period of time.

Calibrate Compass: Allows you to calibrate the compass if you

experience irregular compass behavior, for example, after moving long distances or after extreme temperature changes (Calibrating the Compass, page 7).

Altimeter Settings

From the app drawer, select Setup > Altimeter. Auto Calibration: Automatically calibrates the altimeter each

time an activity is started. The device continues to automatically calibrate the altimeter as long as the device receives GPS signals and auto calibrate continuous is on.

Barometer Mode: Variable Elevation allows the barometer to

measure changes in elevation while you are moving. Fixed Elevation assumes the device is stationary at a fixed elevation, so the barometric pressure should only change due to weather.

Pressure Trending: Sets how the device records pressure

data. Save Always can be useful when you are watching for pressure fronts.

Plot Type: Allows you to view elevation changes over a period

of time or distance, barometric pressure over a period of time, or ambient pressure changes over a period of time.

Calibrate Altimeter: Allows you to calibrate the barometric

altimeter when you know the correct elevation or the correct barometric pressure (Calibrating the Barometric Altimeter,

page 8).

Position Format Settings

NOTE: You should not change the position format or the map

datum coordinate system unless you are using a map or chart that specifies a different position format.

From the app drawer, select Setup > Position Format. Position Format: Sets the position format in which a location

reading appears.

Map Datum: Sets the coordinate system on which the map is

structured.

Map Spheroid: Shows the coordinate system the device is

using. The default coordinate system is WGS 84.

Changing the Units of Measure
