TIP: Garmin recommends you secure your bike on a stand while
installing the sensor.

Take a 15 minute test ride and inspect the sensor and bands
to ensure there is no evidence of damage.
Pairing
ANT+ Sensors
The first time you connect an
ANT+ sensor to your device, you
must pair the device and sensor. After the initial pairing, the
device automatically connects to the sensor when you start your
activity and the sensor is active and within range.
NOTE:
If your
Edge 25
device was packaged with an ANT+
sensor, they are already paired.

Setting Your Maximum Heart Rate

setup to estimate your maximum heart rate and determine your
default heart rate zones. For the most accurate calorie data
during your activity, you should set your maximum heart rate (if
known).

About Heart Rate Zones
Many athletes use heart rate zones to measure and increase
their cardiovascular strength and improve their level of fitness. A
heart rate zone is a set range of heartbeats per minute. The five
commonly accepted heart rate zones are numbered from 1 to 5
according to increasing intensity. Generally, heart rate zones are
calculated based on percentages of your maximum heart rate.
Fitness Goals
Knowing your heart rate zones can help you measure and
improve your fitness by understanding and applying these
principles.
• Your heart rate is a good measure of exercise intensity.
• Training in certain heart rate zones can help you improve
cardiovascular capacity and strength.
• Knowing your heart rate zones can prevent you from
overtraining and can decrease your risk of injury.
If you know your maximum heart rate, you can use the table
(Heart Rate Zone Calculations, page 8) to determine the best
heart rate zone for your fitness objectives.
If you do not know your maximum heart rate, use one of the
calculators available on the Internet. Some gyms and health
centers can provide a test that measures maximum heart rate.
The default maximum heart rate is 220 minus your age.
Setting Heart Rate Alerts
If you have an optional heart rate monitor, you can set the
device to alert you when your heart rate is above or below a
target zone or a custom range. For example, you can set the
device to alert you when your heart rate is below 150 beats per
minute (bpm).
