The jumpmaster feature is for use by experienced skydivers 

only. The jumpmaster feature should not be used as a primary 

skydiving altimeter. Failure to input the appropriate jump related 

information can lead to serious personal injury or death.
The jumpmaster feature follows military guidelines for 

calculating the high altitude release point (HARP). The device 

detects automatically when you have jumped to begin navigating 

toward the desired impact point (DIP) using the barometer and 

electronic compass.

The jumpmaster feature allows you to set the jump type to one 

of three types: HAHO, HALO, or Static. The jump type selected 

determines what additional setup information is required. For all 

jump types, drop altitudes and opening altitudes are measured 

in feet above ground level (AGL).
HAHO: High Altitude High Opening. The jumpmaster jumps from 

a very high altitude and opens the parachute at a high 

altitude. You must set a DIP and a drop altitude of at least 

1,000 feet. The drop altitude is assumed to be the same as 

the opening altitude. Common values for a drop altitude 

range from 12,000 to 24,000 feet AGL.

HALO: High Altitude Low Opening. The jumpmaster jumps from 

a very high altitude and opens the parachute at a low altitude. 

The required information is the same as the HAHO jump 

type, plus an opening altitude. The opening altitude must not 

be greater than the drop altitude. Common values for an 

opening altitude range from 2,000 to 6,000 feet AGL.

STATIC: The wind speed and direction are assumed to be 

constant for the duration of the jump. The drop altitude must 

be at least 1,000 feet.

Connected features are available for your Foretrex device when 

you connect the device to a compatible smartphone using 

Bluetooth wireless technology. Some features require you to 

install the Garmin Connect

™

 Mobile app on the connected 

smartphone. Go to 

 for more information.

Phone notifications: Displays phone notifications and 

messages on your Foretrex device.

Software Updates: Allows you to update your device software.

To use the connected features of the Foretrex device, it must be 

paired directly through the Garmin Connect Mobile app, instead 

of from the Bluetooth settings on your smartphone.

Bring your compatible smartphone within 10 m (33 ft.) of your 

device.

From the menu page on your device, select PHONE > PAIR 

PHONE.

From the app store on your smartphone, install and open the 

Garmin Connect Mobile app.

Follow the instructions in the app to complete the pairing 

process.

You can use optional fitness accessories including a heart rate 

monitor or a cadence sensor with your device. These 

accessories use ANT+ wireless technology to send data to the 

device.
Before you can use the fitness accessory with your device, you 

must install the accessory according to the instructions included 

with the accessory.

Before you can pair, you must put on the heart rate monitor or 

install the sensor.
Pairing is the connecting of ANT+ wireless sensors, for example, 

connecting a heart rate monitor with your device.

Bring the device within 3 m (10 ft.) of the sensor.
NOTE: Stay 10 m (30 ft.) away from other ANT+ sensors 

while pairing.

From the menu page, select CONNECT.

Select your sensor.

Select SEARCH FOR NEW.
When the sensor is paired with your device, the sensor status 

changes from SEARCHING to CONNECTED.

• Verify that the ANT+ accessory is compatible with your 

Garmin device.

• Before you pair the ANT+ accessory with your Garmin 

device, move 10 m (32.9 ft.) away from other ANT+ 

accessories.

• Bring the Garmin device within range 3 m (10 ft.) of the ANT+ 

accessory.

• After you pair the first time, your Garmin device automatically 

recognizes the ANT+ accessory each time it is activated. This 

process occurs automatically when you turn on the Garmin 

device and only takes a few seconds when the accessories 

are activated and functioning correctly.

• When paired, your Garmin device receives data from only 

your accessory, and you can go near other accessories.

The tempe is an ANT+ wireless temperature sensor. You can 

attach the sensor to a secure strap or loop where it is exposed 

to ambient air, and therefore, provides a consistent source of 

accurate temperature data. You must pair the tempe with your 

device to display temperature data from the tempe.
