If nospeed and cadence sensors are paired with the device, GPSdata is used to calculate the speed and distance.Cadence is your rate of pedaling or “spinning” measured by thenumber of revolutions of the crank arm per minute (rpm).Data Averaging for Cadence or PowerThe non-zero data-averaging setting is available if you aretraining with an optional cadence sensor or power meter. Thedefault setting excludes zero values that occur when you are notpedaling.You can change the value of this setting (Data RecordingSettings, page 17).Pairing Your Wireless SensorsBefore you can pair, you must put on the heart rate monitor orinstall the sensor.Pairing is the connecting of ANT+ or Bluetooth wireless sensors,for example, connecting a heart rate monitor with your Garmindevice.1 Bring the device within 3 m (10 ft.) of the sensor.NOTE: Stay 10 m (33 ft.) away from other riders' sensorswhile pairing.2 Select Menu > Settings > Sensors > Add Sensor.3 Select an option:• Select a sensor type.• Select Search All to search for all nearby sensors.A list of available sensors appears.4 Select one or more sensors to pair with your device.5 Select Add Sensor.When the sensor is paired with your device, the sensor statusis Connected.
