Broadcasting Heart Rate Data During an Activity
You can set up your fēnix device to broadcast your heart rate data automatically when you begin an activity. For
example, you can broadcast your heart rate data to an Edge
®
device while cycling, or to a VIRB
®
action camera
during an activity.
NOTE: Broadcasting heart rate data decreases battery life.
1 From the heart rate widget, hold MENU.
2 Select Heart Rate Options > Broadcast During Activity.
3 Begin an activity (Starting an Activity, page 6).
The fēnix device starts broadcasting your heart rate data in the background.
NOTE: There is no indication that the device is broadcasting your heart rate data during an activity.
4 Pair your fēnix device with your Garmin ANT+ compatible device.
NOTE: The pairing instructions differ for each Garmin compatible device. See your owner's manual.
TIP: To stop broadcasting your heart rate data, stop the activity (Stopping an Activity, page 8).
Setting an Abnormal Heart Rate Alert
CAUTION
This feature only alerts you when your heart rate exceeds or drops below a certain number of beats per minute,
as selected by the user, after a period of inactivity. This feature does not notify you of any potential heart
condition and is not intended to treat or diagnose any medical condition or disease. Always defer to your health
care provider for any heart-related issues.
You can set the heart rate threshold value.
1 From the heart rate widget, hold MENU.
2 Select Heart Rate Options > Abnormal Heart Rate Alerts.
3 Select High Alert or Low Alert.
4 Set the heart rate threshold value.
Each time your heart rate exceeds or drops below the threshold value, a message appears and the device
vibrates.
Turning Off the Wrist-based Heart Rate Monitor
The default value for the Wrist Heart Rate setting is Auto. The device automatically uses the wrist-based heart
rate monitor unless you pair an ANT+ heart rate monitor to the device.
NOTE: Disabling the wrist-based heart rate monitor also disables the wrist-based pulse oximeter sensor. You
can perform a manual reading from the pulse oximeter widget.
1 From the heart rate widget, hold MENU.
2 Select Heart Rate Options > Status > Off.
