TROUBLESHOOTING

Follow these steps to solve problems that may arise when using the watch.

PROBLEMS WITH THE GPS

HOW DO I TURN OFF THE GPS?

If the timer is not running for 15 minutes, the GPS will turn off automatically.

To conserve battery life, you may turn of the GPS manually.

• Hold GPS ON/OFF to turn off the GPS.

WHY CAN’T I GET A SATELLITE FIX?

To obtain a good satellite fix, the GPS needs a clear line-of-sight to the satellites.

Go outside and move away from buildings or tall trees.

Remain stationary.

Point the bottom of the watch face toward the sky.

PROBLEMS WITH THE BATTERY

THE BATTERY INDICATOR DOES NOT MATCH THE ACTUAL CHARGE

If the display appears too light or the GPS shuts off unexpectedly, but the battery indicator appears full:

1.Allow the battery to run down completely so that the watch shuts off automatically.

2.Fully charge the watch without interruption.

NOTE: Even when the watch is not in use, fully charge the watch every 1 or 2 months to preserve battery life.
