Using Auto Pause

You can use Auto Pause to pause the timer automatically when

paused.

Each time you complete a lap, a message appears that displays

the time for that lap. The device also beeps or vibrates if audible

additional lap data.

Using Auto Scroll

You can use the auto scroll feature to cycle through all of the

training data screens automatically while the timer is running.

Select > Settings > Activity Settings > Auto Scroll.

Select a display speed.

Timeout Settings

The timeout settings affect how long your device stays in

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

start. Select > Settings > Activity Settings > Timeout.

minutes of inactivity.

Training Indoors

off GPS.

When GPS is off, speed and distance are calculated using the

accelerometer in the device. The accelerometer is self-

calibrating. The accuracy of the speed and distance data

improves after a few outdoor runs using GPS. The next time

you turn on or unlock the device, it searches for satellite signals.
