Adding a heart monitor to your Garmin typically involves pairing it, often starting with the Garmin Connect app. Based on the provided information regarding the HRM-Fit™ model, the process primarily uses the Garmin Connect mobile application.
Pairing a Heart Monitor via the Garmin Connect App
To add a heart monitor, such as the HRM-Fit™, to your Garmin system, you can follow these steps through the Garmin Connect app on your smartphone:
- Wear Your Heart Monitor: Ensure the heart rate monitor is correctly worn. This activates the device, making it discoverable for pairing.
- Open the Garmin Connect App: Launch the Garmin Connect application on your compatible smartphone.
- Navigate to More: In the app, select the "More" option. This is often represented by three horizontal lines or dots.
- Select Garmin Devices: From the menu that appears, choose "Garmin Devices".
- Add Device: Select the option to "Add Device".
- App Searches for Nearby Devices: The Garmin Connect app will then begin searching for compatible Garmin devices, including your heart rate monitor, that are nearby.
Once the app finds your heart monitor, you will typically follow on-screen prompts within the app to complete the pairing process. This process registers the heart monitor with your Garmin account and allows it to connect to compatible Garmin watches or other devices.
Note: While this guide focuses on pairing via the Garmin Connect app as shown in the reference, many Garmin heart monitors can also be paired directly to a compatible Garmin watch or cycling computer via their respective settings menus (usually found under Sensors, Add Sensor, or similar). Refer to your specific Garmin watch or device's manual for direct pairing instructions.
