Starting an Activity

When you start an activity, GPS turns on automatically (if required).

  1. Press the key.
  2. If this is the first time you have started an activity, select the checkbox next to each activity to add to your favorites, and select Done.
  3. Select an option:

    • Select an activity from your favorites.

    • Select More activities symbol, and select an activity from the extended activity list.

  4. If the activity requires GPS signals, go outside to an area with a clear view of the sky.
    TIP: If GPS status symbol appears on a gray background, the activity does not require GPS signals.
  5. Wait until Ready appears on the screen.

    The device is ready after it establishes your heart rate, acquires GPS signals (if required), and connects to your wireless sensors (if required).

  6. Press the key to start the activity timer.

    The device records activity data only while the activity timer is running.
