Improving GPS Satellite Reception • Frequently sync the watch to your Garmin account: ◦ Connect your watch to a computer using the USB cable and the Garmin Express application. ◦ Sync your watch to the Garmin Connect app using your Bluetooth enabled phone. ◦ Connect your watch to your Garmin account using a Wi‑Fi wireless network. While connected to your Garmin account, the watch downloads several days of satellite data, allowing it to quickly locate satellite signals. • Take your watch outside to an open area away from tall buildings and trees. • Remain stationary for a few minutes. The activity temperature reading is not accurate Your body temperature affects the temperature reading for the internal temperature sensor. To get the most accurate temperature reading, you should remove the watch from your wrist and wait 20 to 30 minutes. You can also use an optional tempe external temperature sensor to view accurate ambient temperature readings while wearing the watch.
