Using Auto Pause

®

You can use the Auto Pause feature to pause the timer 

automatically when you stop moving or when your pace or 

speed drops below a specified value. This feature is helpful if 

your activity includes stop lights or other places where you need 

to slow down or stop.

NOTE: 

History is not recorded while the timer is stopped or 

paused.

distance automatically. This feature is helpful for comparing your 

performance over different parts of a run (for example, every 1 

mi. or 5 km).

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

TIP: 

For extended activities, you should consider other 

battery saving options (

Maximizing Battery Life

, page 15

).

training mode, for example, when you are waiting for a race to 

start. Select
