Maximizing the Battery Life

You can do several things to extend the life of the battery.

• Change the power mode during an activity (Changing the

Power Mode, page 5).

• Turn on the battery saver feature from the controls menu

(Viewing the Controls Menu, page 1).

• Reduce the backlight timeout (Changing the Backlight

Settings, page 40).

• Reduce the backlight brightness.

• Use UltraTrac GPS mode for your activity (UltraTrac,

page 35).

• Turn off Bluetooth technology when you are not using

connected features (Connected Features, page 10).

• When pausing your activity for a longer period of time, use

the resume later option (Stopping an Activity, page 5).

• Turn off activity tracking (Turning Off Activity Tracking,

page 25).

• Use a watch face that is not updated every second.

For example, use a watch face without a second hand

(Customizing the Watch Face, page 37).

• Limit the smartphone notifications the device displays

(Managing Notifications, page 11).

• Stop broadcasting heart rate data to paired Garmin devices

(Broadcasting Heart Rate Data to Garmin Devices, page 16).

• Turn off wrist-based heart rate monitoring (Turning Off the

Wrist-based Heart Rate Monitor, page 16).

NOTE: Wrist-based heart rate monitoring is used to calculate

vigorous intensity minutes and calories burned.

• Turn on manual pulse oximeter readings (Turning Off

Automatic Pulse Oximeter Readings, page 22).

Activity Tracking

For more information about activity tracking accuracy, go to

garmin.com/ataccuracy.

My daily step count does not appear

The daily step count is reset every night at midnight.

If dashes appear instead of your step count, allow the device

to acquire satellite signals and set the time automatically.

My step count does not seem accurate

If your step count does not seem accurate, you can try these

tips.

• Wear the device on your non-dominant wrist.

• Carry the device in your pocket when pushing a stroller or

lawn mower.

• Carry the device in your pocket when actively using your

hands or arms only.

NOTE: The device may interpret some repetitive motions,

such as washing dishes, folding laundry, or clapping your

hands, as steps.

The step counts on my device and my Garmin

Connect account don't match

The step count on your Garmin Connect account updates when

you sync your device.

Select an option:

• Sync your step count with the Garmin Connect application

(Using Garmin Connect on Your Computer, page 12).

• Sync your step count with the Garmin Connect app

(Manually Syncing Data with Garmin Connect, page 12).

Wait while the device syncs your data.

Syncing can take several minutes.

NOTE: Refreshing the Garmin Connect app or the Garmin

Connect application does not sync your data or update your

step count.

The floors climbed amount does not seem accurate

Your device uses an internal barometer to measure elevation

changes as you climb floors. A floor climbed is equal to 3 m

(10 ft.).

• Avoid holding handrails or skipping steps while climbing

stairs.

• In windy environments, cover the device with your sleeve or

jacket as strong gusts can cause erratic readings.
