Garmin LILY 2 ACTIVE - Pairing Your Wireless Sensors; Heart Rate Accessory Running Pace and Distance; Tips for Recording Running Pace and Distance

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 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.
TIP: Some ANT+ sensors pair with your watch automatically when you start an activity with the sensor turned
on and near the watch.
1 Bring the watch within 3m (10ft.) of the sensor.
NOTE: Stay 10m (33ft.) away from other wireless sensors while pairing.
2 Hold .
3 Select Settings > Accessories > Add New.
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 Connected. Sensor
data appears in the data screen loop or a custom data field. You can customize the optional data fields
(Customizing Activity Options, page11).
Heart Rate Accessory Running Pace and Distance
The HRM-Fit and HRM-Pro series accessories calculate your running pace and distance based on your user
profile and the motion measured by the sensor on every stride. The heart rate monitor provides running pace
and distance when GPS is not available, such as during treadmill running. You can view your running pace and
distance on your compatible Lily 2 Active watch when connected using ANT+ technology. You can also view it
on compatible third-party training apps when connected using Bluetooth technology.
The pace and distance accuracy improves with calibration.
Automatic calibration: The default setting for your watch is Auto Calibrate. The heart rate accessory calibrates
each time you run outside with it connected to your compatible Lily 2 Active watch.
NOTE: Automatic calibration does not work for indoor, trail, or ultra run activity profiles (Tips for Recording
Running Pace and Distance, page38).
Manual calibration: You can select Calibrate & Save after a treadmill run with your connected heart rate
accessory (Calibrating the Treadmill Distance, page5).
Tips for Recording Running Pace and Distance
• Update your Lily 2 Active watch software (Product Updates, page44).
• Complete several outdoor runs with GPS and your connected HRM-Fit or HRM-Pro series accessory. It's
important that your outdoor range of paces matches your range of paces on the treadmill.
• If your run includes sand or deep snow, go to the sensor settings, and turn off Auto Calibrate.
• If you previously connected a compatible foot pod using ANT+ technology, set the foot pod status to Off, or
remove it from the list of connected sensors.
• Complete a treadmill run with manual calibration (Calibrating the Treadmill Distance, page5).
• If automatic and manual calibrations don't seem accurate, go to the sensor settings, and select HRM Pace &
Distance > Reset Calibration Data.
NOTE: You can try turning off Auto Calibrate, and then manually calibrate again (Calibrating the Treadmill
Distance, page5).
