3. Settings
3.1. Button and screen lock
While recording an exercise you can lock the buttons by keeping the lower button pressed
and then select Lock. Once locked, you cannot perform any action that requires button
interaction (create laps, pause/end exercise etc.), but it is possible to scroll the display views
and you can turn on the backlight with any button press if the backlight is in automatic mode.
To unlock everything, keep the lower button pressed again.
When you are not recording an exercise, the screen locks and dims after one minute of
inactivity. To activate the screen, press any button.
The screen also goes to sleep (blank) after a period of inactivity. Any movement turns the
screen on again.
3.2. Automatic backlight
The backlight has three features that you can adjust: the level of brightness (Brightness), how
the standby backlight activates (Standby), and whether the backlight activates when you raise
and turn your wrist (Raise to wake).
The backlight features can be adjusted from the settings under General » Backlight.
•
The Brightness setting determines the overall intensity of the backlight; Low, Medium or
High.
•
The Standby setting controls the screen brightness when there is no active backlight
turned on (e.g. triggered by button presses). The three Standby options are:
•
Adaptive: The standby light is adaptive to its surrounding lighting conditions.
•
Fixed: The standby light is fixed to the brightness setting.
•
Off: The standby light is off.
•
The Raise to wake feature activates standby backlight in regular time mode and activates
backlight in exercise mode when your wrist is lifted to watch reading position. The three
Raise to wake options are:
•
On: Raising your wrist in regular time mode or during an exercise will activate
backlight.
•
Exercise only: Raising your wrist will only turn on the backlight during an exercise.
•
Off: The Raise to wake feature is turned off.
NOTE: You can also set the backlight to be always on. From watch face, swipe up or
press the lower button and scroll to Backlight and toggle the switch to force backlight on.
3.3. Tones and vibration
Tones and vibration alerts are used for notifications, alarms and other key events and actions.
Both can be adjusted from the settings under General » Tones.
Under Tones, you can select from the following options:
•
All on: all events trigger an alert
•
All off: no events trigger alerts
