Enabling Auto Climb You can use the auto climb feature to detect elevation changes automatically. You can use it during activities such as climbing, hiking, running, or biking. 1 Hold MENU. 2 Select Activities & Apps. 3 Select an activity. NOTE: This feature is not available for all activities. 4 Select the activity settings. 5 Select Auto Climb > Status. 6 Select Always or When Not Navigating. 7 Select an option: • Select Run Screen to identify which data screen appears while running. • Select Climb Screen to identify which data screen appears while climbing. • Select Invert Colors to reverse the display colors when changing modes. • Select Vertical Speed to set the rate of ascent over time. • Select Mode Switch to set how quickly the device changes modes. NOTE: The Current Screen option allows you to automatically switch to the last screen you were viewing before the auto climb transition occurred. Satellite Settings You can change the satellite settings to customize the satellite systems used for each activity. For more information about satellite systems, go to garmin.com/aboutGPS. Hold MENU, select Activities & Apps, select an activity, select the activity settings, and select Satellites. NOTE: This feature is not available for all activities. Off: Disables satellite systems for the activity. Use Default: Enables the watch to use the default system setting for satellites (System Settings, page 115). GPS Only: Enables the GPS satellite system. All Systems: Enables multiple satellite systems. Using multiple satellite systems together offers increased performance in challenging environments and faster position acquisition than using GPS only. However, using multiple systems can reduce battery life more quickly than using GPS only. All + Multi-Band: Enables multiple satellite systems on multiple frequency bands. Multi-band systems use multiple frequency bands and allow for more consistent track logs, improved positioning, improved multipath errors, and fewer atmospheric errors when using the watch in challenging environments. NOTE: Not available for all watch models. Auto Select: Enables the watch to use SatIQ™ technology to dynamically select the best multi-band system based on your environment. The Auto Select setting offers the best positioning accuracy while still prioritizing battery life. NOTE: Not available for all watch models. UltraTrac: Records track points and sensor data less frequently. Enabling the UltraTrac feature increases battery life but decreases the quality of recorded activities. You should use the UltraTrac feature for activities that demand longer battery life and for which frequent sensor data updates are less important. Activities and Apps 37
