Using UltraTrac Mode
Before using UltraTrac mode, you should run outdoors a few
times using normal GPS mode to calibrate the device.
You can use UltraTrac mode for extended activities. UltraTrac
mode is a GPS setting that periodically turns off GPS to save
battery power. When GPS is off, the device uses the
accelerometer to calculate speed and distance. Speed,
distance, and track data accuracy are reduced in UltraTrac
mode. The accuracy of the data improves after a few outdoor
runs using GPS.
Select > Activity Settings > GPS > UltraTrac.
TIP: For extended activities, you should consider other
battery saving options (Maximizing Battery Life).
Power Save Timeout Settings
The timeout settings affect how long your device stays in
training mode, for example, when you are waiting for a race to
start. Select > Activity Settings > Power Save Timeout.
Normal: Sets the device to enter low-power watch mode after 5
minutes of inactivity.
Extended: Sets the device to enter low-power watch mode after
25 minutes of inactivity. The extended mode can result in
shorter battery life between charges.
