Tips for Maximizing the Battery Life

To extend the life of the battery, you can try these tips.

• Change the power mode during an activity (Changing the Power Mode, page76).

• Turn on the battery saver feature from the controls menu (Controls, page46).

• Reduce the screen timeout (Changing the Screen Settings, page78).

• Reduce the screen brightness (Changing the Screen Settings, page78).

• Use UltraTrac satellite mode for your activity (Satellite Settings, page26).

• Turn off Bluetooth technology when you are not using connected features (Controls, page46).

• When pausing your activity for a longer period of time, use the Resume Later option (Stopping an Activity,

page6).

• 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34).

• Limit the phone notifications the watch displays (Managing Notifications, page62).

• Stop broadcasting heart rate data to paired devices (Broadcasting Heart Rate Data, page51).

• Turn off wrist-based heart rate monitoring (Wrist Heart Rate Monitor Settings, page51).

NOTE: Wrist-based heart rate monitoring is used to calculate vigorous intensity minutes and calories burned.

• Turn on manual pulse oximeter readings (Setting the Pulse Oximeter Mode, page52).

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 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.
