Satellite Settings; Alerts - Garmin APPROACH S70 Owner's Manual

Satellite Settings

You can change the satellite settings to customize the satellite systems used for each activity. For more
information about satellite systems, go to garmin.com/aboutGPS.
Press the action button, select an activity, select
NOTE: This feature is not available for all activities.
Off: Disables satellite systems for the activity.
Use Default: Enables the watch to use the default system setting for satellites
GPS Only: Enables the GPS satellite system.
All Systems: Enables multiple satellite systems. Using multiple satellite systems 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.
All + Multi-Band: Enables multiple satellite systems on multiple frequency bands. Multi-band systems use
multiple frequency bands and allow for more consistent track logs, improved positioning, improved multi-
path errors, and fewer atmospheric errors when using the watch in challenging environments.
NOTE: Not available for all watch models.
Auto Select: Enables the watch to use SatIQ
based on your environment. The Auto Select setting offers the best positioning accuracy while still
prioritizing battery life.
NOTE: Not available for all watch models.
UltraTrac: 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.

Alerts

You can set alerts for each activity, which can help you to train toward specific goals. Some alerts are available
only for specific activities. Some alerts require optional accessories, such as a heart rate monitor or cadence
sensor. There are three types of alerts: event alerts, range alerts, and recurring alerts.
Event alert: An event alert notifies you one time. The event is a specific value. For example, you can set the
watch to alert you when you burn a specified number of calories.
Range alert: A range alert notifies you each time the watch is above or below a specified range of values. For
example, you can set the watch to alert you when your heart rate is below 60 beats per minute (bpm) and
over 210 bpm.
Recurring alert: A recurring alert notifies you each time the watch records a specified value or interval. For
example, you can set the watch to alert you every 30 minutes.
