Pairing Your ANT+ SensorsBefore you can pair, you must put on the heart rate monitor orinstall the sensor.Pairing is the connecting of ANT+ wireless sensors, for example,connecting a heart rate monitor with your Garmin device.1 Bring the device within 3 m (10 ft.) of the sensor.NOTE: Stay 10 m (33 ft.) away from other riders' ANT+sensors while pairing.2 Select > 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.When the sensor is paired with your device, the sensor statusis Connected. You can customize a data field to displaysensor data.Training with Power Meters• Go to www.garmin.com/intosports for a list of ANT+ sensorsthat are compatible with your device (such as Vector™).• For more information, see the owner's manual for your powermeter.• Adjust your power zones to match your goals and abilities(Setting Your Power Zones, page 13).• Use range alerts to be notified when you reach a specifiedpower zone (Setting Range Alerts, page 17).• Customize the power data fields (Customizing the DataScreens, page 17).Setting Your Power ZonesThe values for the zones are default values and may not matchyour personal abilities. You can manually adjust your zones onthe device or using Garmin Connect. If you know your functionalthreshold power (FTP) value, you can enter it and allow thesoftware to calculate your power zones automatically.1 Select > My Stats > Training Zones > Power Zones.2 Enter your FTP value.3 Select Based On:.4 Select an option:• Select watts to view and edit the zones in watts.• Select % FTP to view and edit the zones as a percentageof your functional threshold power.Calibrating Your Power MeterBefore you can calibrate your power meter, you must install it,pair it with your device, and begin actively recording data with it.For calibration instructions specific to your power meter, see themanufacturer's instructions.1 Select > Settings > Sensors.2 Select your power meter.3 Select Calibrate.4 Keep your power meter active by pedaling until the messageappears.5 Follow the on-screen instructions.Pedal-Based PowerVector measures pedal-based power.Vector measures the force you apply a few hundred times everysecond. Vector also measures your cadence or rotationalpedaling speed. By measuring the force, the direction of force,the rotation of the crank arm, and time, Vector can determinepower (watts). Because Vector independently measures left andright leg power, it reports your left-right power balance.NOTE: The Vector S system does not provide left-right powerbalance.Cycling DynamicsCycling dynamics metrics measure how you apply powerthroughout the pedal stroke, and where you apply power on thepedal, allowing you to understand your particular way of riding.Understanding how and where you produce power allows you totrain more efficiently and evaluate your bike fit.NOTE: You must have a dual sensing Edge system to usecycling dynamics metrics.For more information, go to www.garmin.com/cyclingdynamics.Using Cycling DynamicsBefore you can use cycling dynamics, you must pair the Vectorpower meter with your device (Pairing Your ANT+ Sensors,page 13).NOTE: Recording cycling dynamics uses additional devicememory.1 Go for a ride.2 Scroll to the cycling dynamics screen to view your powerphase data À, total power Á, and platform center offset Â.3 If necessary, hold a data field Ã to change it (Customizingthe Data Screens, page 17).NOTE: The two data fields at the bottom of the screen can becustomized.You can send the ride to the Garmin Connect Mobile app toview additional cycling dynamics data (Sending Your Ride toGarmin Connect, page 15).Power Phase DataPower phase is the pedal stroke region (between the start crankangle and the end crank angle) where you produce positivepower.Platform Center OffsetPlatform center offset is the location on the pedal platform whereyou apply force.Customizing Vector FeaturesBefore you can customize Vector features, you must pair aVector power meter with your device.1 Select > Settings > Sensors.2 Select the Vector power meter.3 Select Sensor Details > Vector Features.4 Select an option.5 If necessary, select the toggle switches to turn on or offtorque efficiency, pedal smoothness, and cycling dynamics.Updating the Vector Software Using the Edge DeviceBefore you can update the software, you must pair your Edgedevice with your Vector system.1 Send your ride data to your Garmin Connect account(Sending Your Ride to Garmin Connect, page 15).ANT+ Sensors 13
