Pairing Garmin HRM with Edge 500

I have been having trouble getting my Garmin Heart Rate Monitor that came with my Garmin Edge 500 to pair properly.

I tried to replace the battery but to no avail.

Found these steps on the Garmin help forum and now its working again.

After you wet both electrodes on the HRM strap and put it on your chest it is in standby and ready to send data.


  1. Press and hold MENU 
  2. Select Settings->Bike Settings->Heart Rate->ANT+HR
  3. Select Yes 
  4. Select Rescan and press enter
  5. Press Back until back on your front screen 


 If you have not seen the Garmin Edge 500 - take a look they are pretty cool and come with a spiffy web site to help you analyse your data after a ride.

DC Rainmaker gives a good in-depth review of the Edge 500....
