Auto puuse when hiking

[CarolynHikes]

I have tried to use auto pause on my Charge 5 while hiking and walking, but I haven't seen where I can set that up. Is that feature available? According to the user guide, I should be able to do that in the exercise settings.

Hello @CarolynHikes 

I just checked and it doesn't seem to be available for Hiking.  It's available for Running but not Hiking it appears.  If you tap the Start button for your Exercise on your tracker and then scroll up, it shows the extra options available.  For Hiking I can only see Set a Goal, Heart Zone Notifications, GPS and Always on Display.  

I think you'll have to manually (and carefully because the setting is quite sensitive) pause during your hikes.  During a Hike, when you want to Pause, scroll up from the little white arrow at the bottom of the screen and tap the big yellow Pause Button. When you're ready to start again, tap the Pause Button and swipe up to the yellow Return button.  That will restart your exercise.  You have to be careful though because the orange Finish button comes before it and if you tap that, it stops altogether.

I hope that helps a bit.
