Configuring GPS features for first use

Before starting your first workout, you should check the following settings and adjust them if necessary:

Units: In Configure Mode set length, speed, pace and altitude units to your liking. Refer to page 52 for further information.

Ascent Rate Update: This setting in the ALTITUDE SETTINGS group determines how often the Watch calculates your ascent rate (vertical speed). Set this feature shorter for faster vertical activities such as skiing or longer for slower vertical activities such as climbing. Refer to page 51 for detailed setting information.

Though not necessary to adjust before your first workout, you may want to review and configure the speed or pace target zones (page 50), distance alert (page 50) or additional hands-free features (page 51).

Additional GPS functionality in existing modes

GPS messages

When using the Watch with the GPS-3D Sensor, the Watch may display messages to communicate the status of the Sensor in conjunction with the Watch. Messages include:

SEARCHING The GPS-3D Sensor is still trying to link to GPS data. You cannot view speed, pace, distance, or positional information until the Sensor locates GPS satellites.

WEAK GPS SIGNAL The GPS-3D Sensor lost its link with GPS satellites. The GPS-3D Sensor operates more accurately in more open areas (such as an area without a lot of tree or cloud cover) and at quicker speeds.

NO DATA FROM GPS The Watch is not receiving data from the GPS-3D Sensor. Ensure that the Sensor is not more than 3 feet (1 meter) away from the Watch, is operating, or has not inadvertently
