How to turn ON the GPS manually:
If GPS receiver has been stopped for a long time, say more than 2
hours, it is recommended to start the GPS manually, especially
when you want to have track logging done at the beginning of
workout. It is because the GPS cold start time is long. Usually it
takes approximate 30 seconds. During the cold start period, track
information is not available. You should have the GPS position
updated in advance. To do this, you can do either of the
followings:
a) Hold [M] > Menu> GPS> GPS ON or OFF (turn GPS ON); or
Simply hold [V] for 2 seconds at Workout / Navigation modes to
toggle GPS either ON or OFF.
b) Hold [M] > Menu> GPS> Timeout
Either 5 or 30 minutes can be chosen. When GPS is lost and
30 minutes timeout is selected, the watch will try to re-locate its
position via satellites in 30 minutes.
GPS status indicator
- When GPS is collecting satellite information, an “ANTENNA”
icon is flashing at the top left for most of the workout views.
- If the GPS has a 2D location located, a “GPS fixed”
message will pop-up and it will last for a few seconds. An Icon
at the top left is as shown here.
- If more than one satellite are captured, the GPS has a 3D
location located. An Icon will be like this.
- If the GPS loses contact with satellites and cannot fix its
position, a pop-up “GPS Lost” message will appear. It stays on
the LCD until a button is pressed.
