Marking Laps by Distance
You can use the Auto Lap feature to mark a lap at a specific

performance over different parts of a run (for example, every 1
mi. or 5 km).

the time for that lap. The device also beeps or vibrates if audible
tones are turned on ( Setting the Device Sounds , page 13 ).

additional lap data.

Changing the GPS Setting
By default, the device uses GPS to locate satellites. For
increased performance in challenging environments and faster
GPS position location, you can enable GPS and GLONASS.
Using GPS and GLONASS reduces battery life more than using
only GPS.
Select > Activity Settings > GPS > GPS + GLONASS .
Using UltraTrac Mode
Before using UltraTrac mode, you should run outdoors a few
times using normal GPS mode to calibrate the device.
You can use UltraTrac mode for extended activities. UltraTrac
mode is a GPS setting that periodically turns off GPS to save
battery power. When GPS is off, the device uses the
accelerometer to calculate speed and distance. Speed,
distance, and track data accuracy are reduced in UltraTrac
mode. The accuracy of the data improves after a few outdoor
runs using GPS.
Select > Activity Settings > GPS > UltraTrac .
TIP: For extended activities, you should consider other
battery saving options ( Maximizing Battery Life , page 15 ).
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. Select > Activity Settings > Power Save Timeout .
Normal : Sets the device to enter low-power watch mode after 5
minutes of inactivity.
Extended : Sets the device to enter low-power watch mode after
25 minutes of inactivity. The extended mode can result in
shorter battery life between charges.
