About sleep tracking 
You can track how much you sleep using your TomTom GPS watch. Here are some of things you can 
do: 
 Track your how long you are sleeping for each day, week, month or year. 
 You can upload your sleep tracking metrics to the TomTom MySports   website and TomTom 
MySports mobile app. 
Your watch measures sleep based on motion and it makes an assumption that when you are not 
moving after a certain time in the afternoon, you are asleep.  
The day resets at 16:00 and your watch starts counting a new night at that point.

About the voice coach 
When playing music, a voice coach guides you through the important stages of your training. 
The voice coach is on by default and you hear the voice coach every time the watch beeps or buzzes 
with a message that needs your attention. As you are listening to music, the buzzer in the watch 
cannot be heard so your watch interrupts the music with a brief message.  
General prompts: 
 Watch ready, Demo mode, Bluetooth not working when swimming. 
TrainingPartner prompts: 
 Zone: in zone, above zone, below zone. 
 Goal: at 50%, 90% 100% and 110% of goal. 
 Race: ahead, behind, lost, won.

Headphones troubleshooting 
Some TomTom GPS watches are supplied with their own headphones for listening to music. 
If you experience gaps or clicks in the music, this may be due to your body blocking the Bluetooth 
signal between your watch and the headset controls.  
Try wearing the watch on the other wrist to improve the reception and audio quality. The best 
position for the watch is on the left wrist. 
As shown below, if there is a direct line of sight between the watch and the headset controls, 
reception is improved. 
 
As shown below, reception can deteriorate if you wear the watch on the opposite site of your body 
to the headset controls because there is no direct line of sight between the two.

Cycle 
  
Swim 
  
Treadmill

  Stopwatch 
When you select RUN, CYCLE or FREESTYLE, your watch uses its internal GPS receiver to measure

If your watch has a heart rate sensor and the heart rate sensor is set to ON, your heart rate is shown 
during your activity. This includes running, cycling, treadmill and freestyle.  
When you select SWIM or TREADMILL, your watch uses its internal motion sensor to measure your 
strides on the treadmill, and strokes and turns in the swimming pool. Your watch uses this 
information to estimate your speed and the distance you have covered. 
When you select INDOOR for indoor cycling, your watch uses the connected Cadence and Speed 
Sensor to show your speed, heart rate information if available and calories burnt vs time.  
Select GYM to show heart rate information and calories burnt over time. You need an external or 
internal heart rate sensor for this activity. 
Select FREESTYLE when you want to do an activity other than running, cycling or swimming. This 
means that you can keep clean histories and totals for running, cycling and swimming.  
When you select STOPWATCH, you can use your watch to show elapsed time, mark laps and see 
times for your current and previous laps.
