from the broadcast heart rate screen.
Broadcasting Heart Rate Data During an Activity
You can set up your MARQ device to broadcast your heart rate

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.

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.
Running Dynamics
You can use your compatible MARQ device paired with the
HRM-Pro accessory or other running dynamics accessory to
provide real-time feedback about your running form.
The running dynamics accessory has an accelerometer that
measures torso movement in order to calculate six running
metrics.
Cadence: Cadence is the number of steps per minute. It
displays the total steps (right and left combined).
