Broadcasting Heart Rate Data During an Activity
You can set up your Instinct Solar 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 Instinct Solar 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 Instinct Solar 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 6).
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.
Body Battery
™
Your device analyzes your heart rate variability, stress level, sleep quality, and activity data to determine your
overall Body Battery level. Like a gas gauge on a car, it indicates your amount of available reserve energy. The
Body Battery level range is from 0 to 100, where 0 to 25 is low reserve energy, 26 to 50 is medium reserve
energy, 51 to 75 is high reserve energy, and 76 to 100 is very high reserve energy.
You can sync your device with your Garmin Connect account to view your most up-to-date Body Battery level,
long-term trends, and additional details (Tips for Improved Body Battery Data, page 36).
