From the watch face, swipe up or long press the lower button to get access to all of the watch
settings via the Control panel.
TIP: The settings menu can be accessed directly if you long press the middle button
while you are in the watch face view.
If you want quick access to a certain setting or feature, you can customize the top button logic
(from watch face view) and create a shortcut to your most useful setting or feature.
To
define a shortcut for the upper button, open the Control panel and select Customize
followed by Top shortcut and select what setting or feature the top button will have when
long pressed.
3.1. Button and screen lock
While recording an exercise you can lock the buttons by keeping the lower button pressed
and then select Lock. Once locked, you cannot perform any action that requires button
interaction (create laps, pause/end exercise etc.), but it is possible to scroll the display views.
NOTE: During scuba diving, you can use the buttons to acknowledge alarms and gas
switch even when they are locked, but you cannot change the display view and the switch
window content.
To unlock everything, keep the lower button pressed again.
When you are not recording an exercise, the screen locks and dims after one minute of
inactivity. To activate the screen, press any button.
The screen also goes to sleep (blank) after a period of inactivity. Any movement turns the
screen on again.
3.2. Automatic display brightness
The display has three features that you can adjust: the level of brightness (Brightness),
whether the inactive display shows any information (Always-on display), and whether the
display activates when you raise and turn your wrist (Raise to wake).
The display features can be adjusted from the settings under General > Display.
•
The Brightness setting determines the overall intensity of display brightness; Low, Medium
or High.
•
The Always-on display setting determines if the inactive display is blank or shows
information, for example, the time. Always-on display can be toggled to on or
o:
•
On: The display shows certain information all the time.
•
O: When the display is inactive, the screen is blank.
•
The Raise to wake feature activates the display when raising your wrist to look at the
watch. The three options for Raise to wake are:
•
O: Raising your wrist does nothing.
•
Display only: Raising your wrist only activates the display. A button press is required to
use the watch.
