• Verify that the ANT+ accessory is compatible with your
Garmin device.
• Before you pair the ANT+ accessory with your Garmin
device, move 10 m (32.9 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.
