When running or walking with GPS turned off,
speed, distance, and cadence are calculated using the
accelerometer in the device. The accelerometer is self-
calibrating. The accuracy of the speed, distance, and
cadence data improves after a few outdoor runs or
walks using GPS.
TIP: Holding the handrails of the treadmill reduces
accuracy. You can use an optional foot pod to record
pace, distance, and cadence.
When cycling with GPS turned off, speed and distance
are not available unless you have an optional sensor
that sends speed and distance data to the device (such
as a speed or cadence sensor).
Outdoor Activities
The fēnix device comes preloaded with apps for outdoor
activities, such as running, hiking, and open water
swimming. GPS is turned on for outdoor activities. You
can add apps using default profiles, such as walking
and tactical. You can also add custom sport apps to your
device
(Creating a Custom Activity, page 7)
Viewing Your Ski Runs
Your device records the details of each skiing or
snowboarding run using the auto run feature. This
feature is turned on by default for downhill skiing and
snowboarding. It automatically records new ski runs
based on your movement. The timer pauses when you
stop moving downhill and when you are on a chairlift.
The timer remains paused during the chairlift ride. You
can start moving downhill to restart the timer. You can
view run details from the paused screen or while the
timer is running.

Jumpmaster
The jumpmaster feature is for use by experienced
skydivers only. The jumpmaster feature should not be
used as a primary skydiving altimeter. Failure to input
the appropriate jump related information can lead to
.
serious personal injury or death.
The jumpmaster feature follows military guidelines for
calculating the high altitude release point (HARP). The
device detects automatically when you have jumped to
begin navigating toward the desired impact point (DIP)
using the barometer and electronic compass.
Multisport
Triathletes, duathletes, and other multisport
competitors can take advantage of the multisport
activities, such as Triathlon or Swimrun. During a
multisport activity, you can transition between activities
and continue to view your total time and distance.
For example, you can switch from biking to running
and view your total time and distance for biking and
running throughout the multisport activity.
You can customize a multisport activity, or you can
use the default triathlon activity set up for a standard
triathlon.
