Turning Bluetooth Pairing Mode on for a vivoactive
If you need to pair a vívoactive® watch to the Garmin Connect™ app on your smartphone, you will first need to enable Pairing Mode on the watch. Turning on pairing mode will trigger a Bluetooth beacon signal that the Garmin Connect app will look for. For details, see the steps below:
Enable Pairing Mode on a vívoactive Watch:
Press the top right button.
Select Settings.
Select Bluetooth.
Select Pair Mobile Device.
The vívoactive will now be in Bluetooth pairing mode.
NOTE: You must pair the watch through Garmin Connect app and not directly to the phone through Bluetooth settings.
