TURNING ON THE GPS

Before you can use the watch to collect speed, pace, and distance data, you must turn on the GPS and ac-

quire a satellite fix. 

1.   Take the watch outside and away from buildings and tall trees. 
2.  Make sure the watch is facing the sky; do not block the GPS antenna in the bottom part of the watch face. 
3.  Stand still. 
4.  Press and hold ON/OFF. 
 

 The 

 icon flashes when the GPS is searching for satellites. It turns solid when the fix is achieved,  

 

and more “bars” in the 

 icon indicate a stronger fix. 

   NOTE: Heavy cloud cover or rain may make it difficult to acquire a satellite fix. 

USING RUN MODE

Use Run mode when you need to be able to view speed, distance, pace, or calorie data while a workout is 

in progress. You might want to view this data to help you build endurance at a specific speed, or to focus on 

completing a 5k race within a particular goal time. You cannot view data for your current lap from Run mode. 

Run mode and Chrono mode share the timer, so you can switch freely between the two modes while the 

workout is running by pressing MODE. Switch to Chrono mode if you want to view lap data. 

NOTE: You can take splits in Run mode, but you can view individual lap data only in Chrono mode. 

When the workout is running, several types of information about the workout are displayed:   

•  Workout time

• Speed

• Distance

•  Calories burned

• Pace

•  Current time

NOTE: For the most accurate speed, distance, and pace calculations, use the watch in clear weather.

STARTING, STOPPING, AND SAVING A WORKOUT

STARTING A WORKOUT

1.  Press MODE until RUN displays. 
2.  Press + or - to select GPS (to use the GPS to record workout data) or INDOOR (to record time data only),  

  then press OK. 
  A battery life message appears. Press OK to acknowledge it. If the battery life is too low, charge the watch  

  as described in 

Charging the Watch

  A memory remaining message appears. Press OK to acknowledge it. If there is not enough estimated    

  memory remaining to record your intended workout, delete some workouts to free memory space as    

  described in 

Deleting Workouts

.

3.  Press START.   

CHANGING THE DISPLAY VIEW

While a workout is in progress, you can cycle through several view screens that each display different data 

about your workout. 

There are four displays in Run mode. All of the displays show the elapsed time and the total distance traveled, 

but data in the third line of the display is different for each. The first shows current pace, the second shows 

current speed, the third shows calories burned, and the fourth shows the primary time zone. 

Use the displays to know how to change your workout to achieve your goals. For example, if your pace is too 

fast, you may get tired before your run is complete.  Slow down to make your time goal and still finish the run. 

•  Press VIEW to cycle through the display views.
