Acquiring Satellite Signals
The device may need a clear view of the sky to acquire satellite
signals. The time and date are set automatically based on the
GPS position.
TIP: For more information about GPS, go to www.garmin.com
/aboutGPS.
1
Go outdoors to an open area.
The front of the device should be oriented toward the sky.
2
Wait while the device locates satellites.
It may take 30–60 seconds to locate satellite signals.
Improving GPS Satellite Reception
• Frequently sync the device to your Garmin Connect account:
◦ Connect your device to a computer using the USB cable
and the Garmin Express application.
◦ Sync your device to the Garmin Connect app using your
Bluetooth enabled smartphone.
While connected to your Garmin Connect account, the device
downloads several days of satellite data, allowing it to quickly
locate satellite signals.
• Take your device outside to an open area away from tall
buildings and trees.
• Remain stationary for a few minutes.
The temperature reading is not accurate
Your body temperature affects the temperature reading for the
internal temperature sensor. To get the most accurate
temperature reading, you should remove the watch from your
wrist and wait 20 to 30 minutes.
You can also use an optional tempe external temperature
sensor to view accurate ambient temperature readings while
wearing the watch.
Maximizing the Battery Life
You can do several things to extend the life of the battery.
• Change the power mode during an activity (Changing the
Power Mode, page 3).
• Turn on the battery saver feature from the controls menu
(Viewing the Controls Menu, page 1).
• Reduce the backlight timeout (Changing the Backlight
Settings, page 39).
• Reduce the backlight brightness.
• Use UltraTrac GPS mode for your activity (UltraTrac,
page 34).
• Turn off Bluetooth technology when you are not using
connected features (Connected Features, page 10).
• When pausing your activity for a longer period of time, use
the resume later option (Stopping an Activity, page 3).
• Turn off activity tracking (Turning Off Activity Tracking,
page 23).
• Use a watch face that is not updated every second.
For example, use a watch face without a second hand
(Customizing the Watch Face, page 36).
• Limit the smartphone notifications the device displays
(Managing Notifications, page 11).
• Stop broadcasting heart rate data to paired Garmin devices
(Broadcasting Heart Rate Data to Garmin Devices, page 14).
• Turn off wrist-based heart rate monitoring (Turning Off the
Wrist-based Heart Rate Monitor, page 14).
NOTE: Wrist-based heart rate monitoring is used to calculate
vigorous intensity minutes and calories burned.
• Turn on manual pulse oximeter readings (Turning Off
Automatic Pulse Oximeter Readings, page 21).
Activity Tracking
For more information about activity tracking accuracy, go to
garmin.com/ataccuracy.
My daily step count does not appear
The daily step count is reset every night at midnight.
If dashes appear instead of your step count, allow the device
to acquire satellite signals and set the time automatically.
My step count does not seem accurate
If your step count does not seem accurate, you can try these
tips.
• Wear the device on your non-dominant wrist.
• Carry the device in your pocket when pushing a stroller or
lawn mower.
• Carry the device in your pocket when actively using your
hands or arms only.
NOTE: The device may interpret some repetitive motions,
such as washing dishes, folding laundry, or clapping your
hands, as steps.
The step counts on my device and my Garmin
Connect account don't match
The step count on your Garmin Connect account updates when
you sync your device.
1
Select an option:
• Sync your step count with the Garmin Connect application
(Using Garmin Connect on Your Computer, page 11).
• Sync your step count with the Garmin Connect app
(Manually Syncing Data with Garmin Connect, page 12).
