NOTE: Using GPS and another satellite together can reduce battery life more quickly than using GPS only (GPS and Other Satellite Systems, page 19). GPS and Other Satellite Systems Using GPS and another satellite system 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. Your device can use these Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). GPS: A satellite constellation built by the United States. GLONASS: A satellite constellation built by Russia. GALILEO: A satellite constellation built by the European Space Agency. UltraTrac The UltraTrac feature is a GPS setting that 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. 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. Hold MENU, select Settings > Activities & Apps, select an activity, and select the activity settings. Select Power Save Timeout to adjust the timeout settings for the activity. 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.
