About sensors

Heart Rate Sensor is included in some products and available as an accessory for others.

Cadence & Speed Sensor is included in some...

6. When you begin an activity, your watch connects to the sensor and you see a heart icon at the 
bottom of the screen. 
 
When your watch is trying to connect to the sensor, the heart flashes. 
The first time your watch tries to connect to your sensor, if it finds more than one sensor, your 
watch doesnt know which sensor to connect to. Move to a place where there are no other 
sensors within range of your watch.

Important: The smaller part of the sensor needs to face the crankarms and should not be 
attached to the top of the chainstay. You may have to tilt the main body of the sensor towards

the spoke magnet. 
 
2. Attach the spoke magnet to one of the spokes on your bike. The magnet should face the

chainstay where you attached the chainstay sensor. 
 
Tip: Make sure the different parts of the Cadence & Speed Sensor are lined up correctly on 
your bike. The spoke magnet should pass the main body of the chainstay sensor and the 
crankarm magnet should pass the tip of the sensor.

securely in...

When you have connected to your sensor once, your watch always reconnects to your sensor. 
When the chainring icon has stopped flashing, your watch is ready to measure your speed and 
cadence. You can start cycling with no GPS fix but for proper GPS tracking, wait until the GPS 
icon has also stopped flashing before you start your cycling activity. 
Tip: When you are using the Cadence & Speed Sensor for cycling activities, you are warned when 
no speed data is being received from the sensor....
