Wireless Sensors
Your watch can be paired and used with wireless
sensors using ANT+ or Bluetooth technology (Pairing
Your Wireless Sensors, page21). After the devices
are paired, you can customize the optional data fields
(Customizing the Data Screens, page8). If your
watch was packaged with a sensor, they are already
paired.
For information about specific Garmin sensor
compatibility, purchasing, or to view the owner’s
manual, go to Garmin.com.sg/buy for that sensor.
Sensor Type Description
External Heart
Rate
You can use an external sensor, such
as the HRM-Pro series or HRM-Fit
heart rate monitor, to view heart rate
data during your activities.
Foot Pod
You can use a foot pod to record pace
and distance instead of using GPS
when you are training indoors or when
your GPS signal is weak.
Sensor Type Description
inReach
The inReach remote function allows
you to control your inReach satellite
communicator using your Instinct
watch (Using the inReach Remote,
page22).
Lights
You can use Varia smart bike lights to
improve situational awareness.
Radar
You can use a Varia rearview
bike radar to improve situational
awareness and send alerts about
approaching vehicles.
Speed/
Cadence
You can attach speed or cadence
sensors to your bike and view the
data during your ride. If necessary,
you can manually enter your wheel
circumference (Wheel Size and
Circumference, page45).
Tempe
You can attach the tempe
temperature sensor to a secure strap
or loop where it is exposed to ambient
air, so it provides a consistent source
of accurate temperature data.
VIRB
The VIRB remote function allows you
to control your VIRB action camera
using your watch (VIRB Remote,
page23).
XERO Laser
Locations
You can view and share laser location
information from a Xero device (Xero
Laser Location Settings, page23).
Pairing Your Wireless Sensors
Before you can pair, you must put on the heart rate
monitor or install the sensor.
The first time you connect a wireless sensor to your
watch using ANT+ or Bluetooth technology, you must
pair the watch and sensor. If the sensor has both ANT+
and Bluetooth technology, Garmin recommends that
you pair using ANT+ technology. After they are paired,
the watch connects to the sensor automatically when
you start an activity and the sensor is active and within
range.
1 Bring the watch within 3 m (10 ft.) of sensor.
NOTE: Stay 10 m (33 ft.) away from other wireless
sensors while pairing.
2 Hold MENU.
3 Select Sensors & Accessories > Add New.
TIP: When you start an activity with the Auto
Discover option enabled, the watch automatically
searches for nearby sensors and asks if you want
to pair them.
4 Select an option:
• Select Search All.
• Select your sensor type.
After the sensor is paired with your watch,
the sensor status changes from Searching to
