NOTE: Your body temperature affects the temperature
sensor. To get the most accurate temperature reading,
remove the device from your wrist and wait 20–30 minutes.
TIP: To purchase a tempe™ wireless temperature sensor, go
to www.garmin.com. When you have the tempe paired with
the fēnix (page 7), you automatically get accurate
temperature readings without having to remove the device
from your wrist.

Turning On a Sensor Mode

The default sensor mode is On Demand mode, which offers
you quick access to compass, altimeter, barometer, or
temperature data. You can also put the device in Always On
mode to display continuous sensor data. For example, you can
put the device in altimeter mode and continuously monitor
elevation data.
NOTE: If you have an optional heart rate monitor or speed and
cadence sensor paired with the device, your device can display
continuous heart rate or speed and cadence data.

Profiles

Profiles are a collection of settings that optimize your device
based on how you are using it. For example, the settings and
views are different when you are using the device when hiking
than when mountain biking.
When you are using a profile and you change settings such as
data fields or units of measurement, the changes are saved
automatically as part of the profile.

Changing Profiles

When you change activities, you can quickly change the setup
of the handheld to suit the activity by changing the profile.
