Diving

Resetting Your Tissue Load

You can reset your current tissue load saved on the watch. You should reset your tissue load only if you do not
plan to use the watch again in the future. This can be useful for dive shops that provide watches for rent.
1 From the watch face, hold
2 Select Watch Settings > System > Reset > Reset Dive Computer.

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 watch to automatically start a dive activity. If the watch starts a
dive activity incorrectly, you can reset the surface pressure by connecting the watch to a computer. If you do not
have access to a computer, you can reset the surface pressure manually.
1 Hold until the watch turns off.
2 Hold to turn on the watch.

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.
TIP: For more information about GPS, go to garmin.com/aboutGPS.
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 watch to your Garmin account:
◦ Connect your watch to a computer using the USB cable and the Garmin Express application.
◦ Sync your watch to the Garmin Connect app using your Bluetooth enabled phone.
◦ Connect your watch to your Garmin account using a Wi‑Fi wireless network.
While connected to your Garmin account, the watch downloads several days of satellite data, allowing it to
quickly locate satellite signals.
• Take your watch outside to an open area away from tall buildings and trees.
• Remain stationary for a few minutes.

readings while wearing the watch.
