Broadcasting Heart Rate Data to Garmin Devices

You can broadcast your heart rate data from your Descent device and view it on paired Garmin devices.

NOTE: Broadcasting heart rate data decreases battery life.

1 From the heart rate widget, hold MENU.

2 Select Heart Rate Options > Broadcast Heart Rate.

3 Press START.

The Descent device starts broadcasting your heart rate data, and appears.

4 Pair your Descent device with your Garmin ANT+ compatible device.

NOTE: The pairing instructions differ for each Garmin compatible device. See your owner's manual.

TIP: To stop broadcasting your heart rate data, press STOP from the broadcast heart rate screen.

Broadcasting Heart Rate Data During an Activity

You can set up your Descent device to broadcast your heart rate data automatically when you begin an activity.

For example, you 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.

NOTE: Broadcasting heart rate data is not available for dive activities.

1 From the heart rate widget, hold MENU.

2 Select Heart Rate Options > Broadcast During Activity.

3 Begin an activity (Starting an Activity, page 24).

The Descent device starts broadcasting your heart rate data in the background.

NOTE: There is no indication that the device is broadcasting your heart rate data during an activity.

4 Pair your Descent device with your Garmin ANT+ compatible device.

NOTE: The pairing instructions differ for each Garmin compatible device. See your owner's manual.

TIP: To stop broadcasting your heart rate data, stop the activity (Stopping an Activity, page 26).

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.
