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.
Knowing your heart rate zones can prevent you from
overtraining and can decrease your risk of injury.
If you know your maximum heart rate, you can use the table
(Heart Rate Zone Calculations) 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.
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.
Setting Your Heart Rate Zones
The device uses your user profile information from the initial
setup to determine your default heart rate zones. The device
has separate heart rate zones for running and cycling. For the
most accurate calorie data during your activity, set your
maximum heart rate. You can also set each heart rate zone and
enter your resting heart rate manually. You can manually adjust
your zones on the device or using your Garmin Connect
account.

About Lifetime Athletes
A lifetime athlete is an individual who has trained intensely for
many years (with the exception of minor injuries) and has a
resting heart rate of 60 beats per minute (bpm) or less.
Setting Your Power Zones
The values for the zones are default values and may not match
your personal abilities. If you know your functional threshold
power (FTP) value, you can enter it and allow the software to
calculate your power zones automatically. You can manually
adjust your zones on the device or using your Garmin Connect
account.

Activity Tracking
Turning On Activity Tracking
The activity tracking feature records your daily step count, step
goal, distance traveled, and calories burned for each recorded
day. Your calories burned includes your base metabolism plus
activity calories.
Activity tracking can be enabled during the initial device setup,
or at any time.
NOTE: Turning on activity tracking can decrease the battery life
between charges.
1Hold UP.
2Select Settings > Activity Tracking > Status > On.
Your step count does not appear until the device locates

sensors, go to http://buy.garmin.com.
Pairing ANT+ Sensors
The first time you connect a sensor to your device using ANT+
wireless technology, you must pair the device and sensor. After
they are paired, the device connects to the sensor automatically
when you start an activity and the sensor is active and within
range.
NOTE: If a heart rate monitor was bundled with your device, the
included heart rate monitor is already paired with your device.
1If you are pairing a heart rate monitor, put on the heart rate
monitor (Putting On the Heart Rate Monitor).
The heart rate monitor does not send or receive data until
you put it on.
2Bring the device within 3 m (10 ft.) of the sensor.
NOTE: Stay 10 m (33 ft.) away from other ANT+ sensors
while pairing.
3Hold UP.
4Select Settings > Sensors > Add New.
5Select an option:
Select Search All.
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 page loop or a custom data field.
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.
1Snap the heart rate monitor module À onto the strap.
The Garmin logos on the module and the strap should be
right-side up.
2Wet the electrodes Á and the contact patches  on the back
of the strap to create a strong connection between your chest
and the transmitter.
3Wrap the strap around your chest, and connect the strap
hook à to the loop Ä.
NOTE: The care tag should not fold over.
16 ANT+ Sensors
The Garmin logos should be right-side up.
4Bring the device within 3 m (10 ft.) of the heart rate monitor.
After you put on the heart rate monitor, it is active and sending
data.
TIP: If the heart rate data is erratic or does not appear, see the
troubleshooting tips (Tips for Erratic Heart Rate Data).
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.
Tighten the strap on your chest.
Warm up for 5–10 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.
Using an Optional Bike Cadence Sensor
You can use a compatible bike cadence sensor to send data to
your device.
Pair the sensor with your device (Pairing ANT+ Sensors).
Update your fitness user profile information (Setting Up Your
User Profile).
Go for a ride (Going for a Ride).
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.
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.
Calibrating Your Foot Pod Manually
Before you can calibrate your device, you must pair your device
with the foot pod (Pairing ANT+ Sensors).
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.
1Hold UP.
2Select Settings > Sensors > Foot Pod > Cal. Factor.
3Adjust the calibration factor:
Increase the calibration factor if your distance is too low.
Decrease the calibration factor if your distance is too high.
tempe
The tempe is an ANT+ wireless temperature sensor. You can
attach the sensor to a secure strap or loop where it is exposed
to ambient air, and therefore, provides a consistent source of
accurate temperature data. You must pair the tempe with your
device to display temperature data from the tempe.
