After the sensor is paired with your device, the sensor status changes from Searching to Connected. Sensor data appears in the data screen loop or a custom data field. Using an Optional Bike Speed or Cadence Sensor You can use a compatible bike speed or cadence sensor to send data to your device. • Pair the sensor with your device (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 22). • Set your wheel size (Wheel Size and Circumference, page 28). • Go for a ride (Starting an Activity, page 2). 4 Select Speed or Distance. 5 Select an option: • Select Indoor when you are training with GPS turned off, usually indoors. • Select Always to use your foot pod data regardless of the GPS setting. 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. 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. Improving Foot Pod Calibration Before you can calibrate your device, you must acquire GPS signals and pair your device with the foot pod (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 22). The foot pod is self-calibrating, but you can improve the accuracy of the speed and distance data with a few outdoor runs using GPS. 1 Stand outside for 5 minutes with a clear view of the sky. 2 Start a running activity. 3 Run on a track without stopping for 10 minutes. 4 Stop your activity, and save it. Based on the recorded data, the foot pod calibration value changes, if necessary. You should not need to calibrate the foot pod again unless your running style changes. Calibrating Your Foot Pod Manually Before you can calibrate your device, you must pair your device with the foot pod sensor (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 22). 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. 1 From the watch face, hold MENU. 2 Select Settings > Sensors & Accessories. 3 Select your foot pod. 4 Select Cal. Factor > Set Value. 5 Adjust the calibration factor: • Increase the calibration factor if your distance is too low. • Decrease the calibration factor if your distance is too high. Setting Foot Pod Speed and Distance Before you can customize the foot pod speed and distance, you must pair your device with the foot pod sensor (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 22). You can set your device to calculate speed and distance using your foot pod data instead of GPS data. 1 From the watch face, hold MENU. 2 Select Settings > Sensors & Accessories. 3 Select your foot pod.
