Introduction Read all instructions carefully before installing and using the Vector system. Improper use could result in serious injury. See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the product box for product warnings and other important information. Move your bike chain to the largest chain ring and the smallest cassette gear. The bike chain should be in the outermost position to determine proper clearance between the pedal pod cable and the chain. NOTE: There must be at least 5 mm clearance À between the chain and the crank arm. Go to www.garmin.com/Vector3owner for the latest information including bike compatibility, software updates, and video tutorials. Thank You Thank you for your Vector 3 or Vector 3S purchase. This manual covers both Vector 3 systems. Vector 3 was designed for cyclists, by cyclists, to provide an outstanding experience of owning a precision power measurement system for your bike. Vector 3 is simple, accurate, and easy to use. For software updates, video tutorials, and everything you need to get years of service out of your Vector 3, go to www.garmin.com/Vector3owner. Now it's time to put the power under your feet and get out there and ride. Getting Started 1 Install the Vector 3 components (Installing the Vector 3 Components, page 1). 2 Install the shoe cleats (Installing the Shoe Cleats, page 2). 3 Pair Vector 3 with your Edge® device (Paring Vector 3 with Your Edge 1000, page 2). 4 Go for a ride (Your First Ride, page 2). 5 View your history (Vector 3 Data, page 3). 6 Send your history to your computer (Sending Your Ride to Garmin Connect, page 3). Installing the Vector 3 Components The installation steps for the Vector 3 and Vector 3S systems are very similar. Procedures that are specific to the Vector 3S system are noted. Preparing for the Installation 1 Confirm the compatibility of your bike at www.garmin.com /Vector3owner. 2 Find the sensor ID that is engraved on the spindle, and write it down. 3 Remove the existing pedals. 4 Clean the threads, and remove old grease. Introduction 1 NOTICE WARNING
5 Tighten the cleat firmly to the shoe. NOTE: Garmin recommends torque of 4 to 6 lbf-ft. (5 to 8 N- m). Adjusting the Release Tension Do not overtighten the release tension screw on the bottom of the pedal. The release tension should be adjusted equally for both pedals. Use a 3 mm hex key to adjust the release tension of each pedal. There is a window on the back of the pedal binding that shows the allowable range. Paring Vector 3 with Your Edge 1000 Before you can view Vector 3 data on the Edge device, you must pair the devices. Pairing is the connecting of ANT+® wireless sensors. This procedure contains instructions for the Edge 1000. If you have another compatible device, see Other Compatible Devices, page 6, or go to www.garmin.com/Vector3owner. 1 Bring the Edge device within range (3 m) of the sensor. NOTE: Stay 10 m away from other ANT+ sensors while pairing. 2 Turn on the Edge device. 3 From the home screen, select > Sensors > Add Sensor > Power. 4 Rotate the crank arm a few times. 5 Select your sensor. When the sensor is paired with your Edge device, a message appears, and the sensor status is Connected. You can customize a data field to display Vector 3 data. Pedal Pod Status LED Multiple green or red LED flashes indicate a system issue that requires your attention. Installing the Shoe Cleats NOTE: The left and right cleats are the same. 1 Apply a thin layer of grease on the cleat bolt threads. 2 Align the cleat À, washers Á, and bolts Â. 3 Use a 4 mm hex key to loosely attach each bolt to the sole of the shoe. 4 Adjust the cleat to the shoe in your preferred position. This can be adjusted after a trial ride. Your First Ride Before you ride with Vector 3 for the first time, you must enter the crank length and set the installation angle of the sensors inside the pedals. The Vector 3 system automatically calibrates after each ride. You must also enter the crank length when you move Vector 3 to another bike. This procedure contains instructions for the Edge 1000 device. If you have another compatible device, see Other Compatible Devices, page 6, or go to www.garmin.com/Vector3owner. Entering the Crank Length The crank length is often printed on the crank arm. 2 Introduction NOTICE LED Activity Status 1 green flash every 10 seconds.

1 Rotate the pedals a few times in order to activate Vector 3. 2 From the home screen, select > Sensors > > Sensor Details > Crank Length. 3 Enter the crank length, and select . Setting the Installation Angle Before you set the installation angles, you must set the Edge data fields to display power and cadence. 1 Go for a short ride on a trainer or on the road. 2 Ride until the cadence is nearly 70 rpm. 3 Accelerate smoothly to approximately 90 rpm. When the installation angles are successfully set, a message appears and data fields display power data on the Edge device (1000, 810, and 510 only). Customizing the Data Fields This procedure contains instructions for the Edge 1000, 810, 800, and 510 devices. If you have another compatible device, see Other Compatible Devices, page 6. 1 Hold a data field to change it. 2 Select a category. 3 Select a data field. Training Pedal-Based Power Vector 3 measures pedal-based power. Vector 3 measures the force you apply a few hundred times every second. Vector 3 also measures your cadence or rotational pedaling speed. By measuring the force, the direction of force, the rotation of the crank arm, and time, Vector 3 can determine power (watts). Because Vector 3 independently measures left and right leg power, it reports your left-right power balance. NOTE: The Vector 3 S system does not provide left-right power balance. Cycling Dynamics Cycling dynamics metrics measure how you apply power throughout the pedal stroke, and where you apply power on the pedal, allowing you to understand your particular way of riding. Understanding how and where you produce power allows you to train more efficiently and evaluate your bike fit. Using Cycling Dynamics Before you can use cycling dynamics, you must pair the Vector 3 power meter with your device (Paring Vector 3 with Your Edge 1000, page 2). NOTE: Recording cycling dynamics uses additional device memory. 1 Go for a ride. 2 Scroll to the cycling dynamics screen to view your peak power phase À, total power phase Á, and platform center offset Â. 3 If necessary, hold a data field à to change it (Customizing the Data Fields, page 3). NOTE: The two data fields at the bottom of the screen can be customized. You can send the ride to your Garmin Connect™ account to view additional cycling dynamics data (Sending Your Ride to Garmin Connect, page 3). Power Phase Data Power phase is the pedal stroke region (between the start crank angle and the end crank angle) where you produce positive power. Platform Center Offset Platform center offset is the location on the pedal platform where you apply force. Maintenance Tips NOTICE Some bike tools may scratch the finish of Vector 3 components. • Use wax paper or a towel between the tool and the hardware. • After any bike adjustments, rotate the crank arm to check for clearance. • Keep Vector 3 components clean. • When moving Vector 3 to another bike, clean the threads and surfaces thoroughly. • Go to www.garmin.com/Vector3owner for the latest updates and information.

Performing a Static Torque Test The static torque test is intended for advanced cyclists and installation experts. This test is not required under normal circumstances to achieve good results with the Vector 3 system. This test is available for the Edge 1000, 810, and 510 devices. Garmin recommends performing the static torque test a minimum of three times and averaging the reported torque values. Go to www.garmin.com/Vector3owner, and click on the FAQs link for detailed instructions. Following repeated static torque tests, if the reported torque value is consistently different than the expected value, you can enter a scale factor for one or both pedals. The scale factor is stored in the pedal and adjusts the power value that is calculated on the pedal. The scale factor is sent to the Edge device and stored on Edge device. Crank Compatibility TBD .
