Select an option:
• Select Normal (GPS Only) to enable the GPS satellite
system.

more accurate position information in situations with poor
sky visibility.
• Select GPS + GALILEO (European Union satellite
system) for more accurate position information in
situations with poor sky visibility.
• Select UltraTrac to record track points and sensor data
less frequently (UltraTrac, page 32)
NOTE: Using GPS and another satellite together can reduce
battery life more quickly than using GPS only (GPS and
Other Satellite Systems, page 32).
GPS and Other Satellite Systems
The GPS + GLONASS or GPS + GALILEO options offer
increased performance in challenging environments and faster
position acquisition than using GPS only. However, using GPS
and another satellite system together can reduce battery life
more quickly than using GPS only.
UltraTrac
The UltraTrac feature is a GPS setting that records track points
and sensor data less frequently. Enabling the UltraTrac feature
increases battery life but decreases the quality of recorded
activities. You should use the UltraTrac feature for activities that
demand longer battery life and for which frequent sensor data
updates are less important.
Power Save Timeout Settings
The timeout settings affect how long your device stays in
training mode, for example, when you are waiting for a race to
start. Hold , select Settings > Activities & Apps, select an
activity, and select the activity settings. Select Power Save
Timeout to adjust the timeout settings for the activity.
Normal: Sets the device to enter low-power watch mode after 5

shorter battery life between charges.

Calibrating the Compass Manually
NOTICE
Calibrate the electronic compass outdoors. To improve heading
accuracy, do not stand near objects that influence magnetic
fields, such as vehicles, buildings, and overhead power lines.
Your device was already calibrated at the factory, and the
device uses automatic calibration by default. If you experience
irregular compass behavior, for example, after moving long
distances or after extreme temperature changes, you can
manually calibrate the compass.
