Edge 830 Fenix 3 HR connection

Question

My Fenix 3 HR runs on v5.6 firmware, it doesn't have Extended Display mode in Settings. Extended Display mode on Edge 830 can't detect Fenix 3 HR. How do I connect them?

You can broadcast the HR data from the Fenix to the Edge. 
 The navigation from the Edge can't be used on the Fenix (or any watch from Garmin) and you must have the Edge with you anyway so why not use it? 
 Extended display is only useful if you do multisport activities. If you only do a bike ride it is pointless. Then you log everything on the Edge. 
 The workaround for multisport activities is to start a second activity on the Edge when you are on the bike and switch activity type on the Fenix. Then you can see the totals on the Fenix and just the bike part on the Edge.
