Adding sensors About sensors Sensors are external devices which you can link to your watch to provide information about your activity. Two types of sensors can be used with your watch: External Heart Rate Sensor - this measures your heart rate as you train. The external TomTom Heart Rate Sensor is included in some products and available as an accessory for others. Cadence & Speed Sensor - this measures your cadence and speed as you cycle.
5. Select HEART, then move RIGHT to turn it on. 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 doesn't 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 wheel depending on your bike. You should make this adjustment after you have attached 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. 3.
4. Attach the crankarm magnet to one of the crankarms 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. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Once you have adjusted the sensors to the right position, tighten the cable ties so they are held securely in place.
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.
