Maximizing Battery Life

You can do several things to extend the life of the battery.

Backlight Settings

, page 9

).

Backlight Settings

, page 9

).

• Turn off wrist gestures (

Backlight Settings

).

• Turn off Bluetooth wireless technology when you are not 

using connected features (

Turning Off Bluetooth Technology

).

• Use a Connect IQ watch face that is not updated every 

second.
For example, use a watch face without a second hand 

(

Changing the Watch Face

, page 7

).

• Limit the smartphone notifications the device displays 

(

Managing Notifications

, page 6

).

your device may be missing course data. To repair missing 

course data, you must update the courses again.

Express application (

Updating the Software Using Garmin 

Express

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.

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 Mobile 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.

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.
