Acquiring Satellite Signals

The device may need a clear view of the sky to acquire satellite signals. The time and date are set automatically based on the GPS position.

  1. Go outdoors to an open area.

    The watch should be oriented with 6 o'clock pointing toward the sky.

  2. Wait while the device locates satellites.

    It may take 30 to 60 seconds to locate satellite signals.
