Resetting the Surface Pressure

The device automatically determines the surface pressure using the barometric altimeter. Large pressure
changes, such as during a flight, can cause the device to automatically start a dive activity. You can reset the
surface pressure if the device automatically starts a dive activity incorrectly.
1 Hold LIGHT until the device turns off.
2 Hold LIGHT to turn on the device.
3 When the Descent logo appears, hold MENU until you are prompted to reset the surface pressure.
4 Select Yes.

Acquiring Satellite Signals

The device may need a clear view of the sky to acquire satellite signals. The time and date are set automatically
based on the GPS position.
1 Go outdoors to an open area.
The front of the device should be oriented toward the sky.
2 Wait while the device locates satellites.
It may take 30–60 seconds to locate satellite signals.

Improving GPS Satellite Reception

• Frequently sync the device to your Garmin account:
◦ Connect your device to a computer using the USB cable and the Garmin Express application.
◦ Sync your device to the Garmin Dive app using your Bluetooth enabled smartphone.
◦ Connect your device to your Garmin account using a Wi‑Fi wireless network.
While connected to your Garmin account, the device downloads several days of satellite data, allowing it to
quickly locate satellite signals.
• Take your device outside to an open area away from tall buildings and trees.
• Remain stationary for a few minutes.

The temperature reading is not accurate

readings while wearing the watch.
