Garmin 705 cadence?

Supergoose

I got a Garmin 705 last year. I've never used the cadence meter but as winter is here I thought I would use all tools at my disposal to kind of scientifically train through the crappy months.

I set it all up as described in the manual and everything seems okay. The transponder flashes correctly when the wheel magnet makes its pass, as does the crank-arm magnet. It also flashes when resetting properly but still there is nothing in the cadence field on the device?

What am I doing wrong?

Have you gone into ANT settings and told the 705 you have a cadence meter?

You need to turn it on in the bike profile too.

Do you mean the data field? Its on, but there is no readout.

Out of interest what firmware does your 705 have?

Setting -- System -- About Edge.

Ditch 3.2 if it has, not saying this is why you can't pair up the cadence sensor but might help.
I think there is something about pressing the reset button on the sensor and on the 705 together.

To pair your GSC 10 on an Edge 705:

Press Menu to access the Main Menu
Select Settings
Select ANT+ Sport
Select Accessories
Press the Reset button on your GSC 10 (the white button)
Wait for the Reset button to flash red/green
Select Yes under Cadence Sensor Present?
Select Restart Scan to rescan for your device
Pedal your bike to see alternating red/green blinks on the GSC 10 reset button
The speed/cadence icon will show as solid on the main menu when pairing is successful.
