Improving GPS Satellite Reception
• Frequently sync the device to your Garmin 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 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.

Smartphone Connection, page 28).

For example, use a watch face without a second hand (Customizing the Watch Face, page 42).
