Prepare your project
It is recommended that you technically prepare your Garmin devices before deploying them to your participants. The technical preparation should consist of the following steps:
Update Device Firmware
You should update the firmware of all Garmin devices prior using them with Fitrockr Hub and in the project. The best way to upgrade the firmware of a Garmin device is by connecting it to a computer with its USB charging cable. Then download and install Garmin Express software. Garmin Express will identify the Garmin device and offer the possibility to upgrade the firmware.
Some Garmin models offer direct firmware upgrade via WIFI in their settings module. Please refer to the Garmin manual if your devices offer this possibility.
Conduct Factory Reset
You should factory reset the all Garmin devices prior using them with Fitrockr Hub and in the project. Factory reset option is generally found in the system settings on the Garmin device.
