Garmin Fenix s5 - Goes automatically to sleep mode

Former Member over 4 years ago

Hello, when I follow a gpx track with my Fenix s5 after a few minutes I have a message saying that the Fenix will switch to sleep in 30 seconds. Is there any way of deactivating that?

It sounds as if you haven’t started the activity. After selecting the activity, start it by pressing the start button on the upper right on the watch.

Thanks a lot. Do I do it right? I send a gpx track from my phone (Garmin connect/training). On my watch I go in navigate/courses/name of the course/ do course. But after a few minutes the watch says something like ´will go to sleep in 30 seconds’

Thanks

Try one extra push on the start button after ‘do course’. When you see a green arrow on the screen, the activity is started correct.
