Troubleshooting

Device not powering on

Ensure the device is charged. Connect it to the charger and wait a few minutes before attempting to power it on again. Check the charging cable and power source for functionality.

Inaccurate GPS tracking

Ensure you have a clear view of the sky, away from tall buildings or dense foliage. Allow the GPS to acquire satellites for a minute or two before starting your activity. Restart the watch and try again.

Heart rate monitor not working

Ensure the watch is worn snugly on your wrist, about a finger's width above your wrist bone. Clean the back of the watch where the sensor is located. If using a chest strap, ensure it is properly moistened and positioned.

Pairing issues with smartphone

Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone. Make sure the Forerunner 70 is within Bluetooth range. Try restarting both your smartphone and the watch. In the Garmin Connect app, remove the device and attempt to pair it again.
