Pairing a heart rate monitor (HRM) to fenix/tactix/epix series device
A Garmin Heart Rate Monitor1 (HRM) is needed to show heart rate data on the fenix2, tactix, and epix series devices. To pair the HRM with these devices, it needs to be worn and detecting a heartbeat.
Ensure the HRM is snug against your body, positioned under your breast plate. You will need to elevate your heart rate as you pair the HRM to the device. Jogging in place or doing jumping jacks typically raises your heart rate enough for the pairing process.
To pair the HRM:
- Press and hold MENU/UP
- Select Settings
- Select Sensors
- Select Heart Rate
- Select Status
- Select New Search
- Wait for "Heart Rate Found" message
Your device will now be paired to your HRM. Refer to the owner's manual of your device for additional information.
1 The HRM-Run or HRM-Tri must be used in order for the fenix 2, fenix 3, and tactix Bravo to provide additional metrics such as Vertical Oscillation and Ground Contact Time.
2 Excludes the fenix 3 HR and fenix CHRONOS
