In this video, we are going to show you how to customize the controls and hot keys
on your Instinct® 2 series GPS watch
Controls allow you to quickly access many of the
commonly used tools including battery saver, Garmin Pay™ Wallet and timers
To access the controls menu, press and hold the LIGHT button
Here you can view all of the pre-set controls
You can use the UP and DOWN buttons to scroll through the options
To add a new control, press and hold the UP button to open the menu
Now select “Add Controls”
All of the additional controls will be available to choose from
When you have located one that you want to add, press the GPS button

Once selected, you can continue to scroll over the available controls to add to the menu
To finish adding controls, press the BACK button twice to return to the controls menu
The new controls will be added to the end of the list in a clockwise rotation
To open or enable the control, press the GPS button
When finished, you can press the BACK button to return to the controls menu
Additionally, we can also change the controls list order or remove used controls
To change the list order, press and hold the MENU button to open the settings
Scroll down and select “Reorder Controls”

Next, we will discuss hot keys
Hot keys allow you to quickly access settings or features that you use
most by holding a certain button combination
Select Instinct® 2 watches such as the dēzl® and Tactical editions
have pre-set specialized hot keys
For example, on the dēzl® edition, pressing the GPS button and the DOWN button at the same time
allows you to switch between “Driving” and “On Break” for your break planning
To begin customizing your hot keys, start by pressing and holding the MENU button
Using the UP and DOWN buttons to scroll, locate “System” and press the GPS button to select it
Now, scroll down and then select “Hot Keys”
Here you will see various button combinations available
A few of them are pre-set to quickly access the main features of the watch,
such as ABC and SET controls
For this video we will select “GPS + Up”,
but the process will be the same for all of the other button combinations
Once selected, scroll through the available hot key options
We will be selecting “Flashlight”
Now you can continue to set up other buttons or
press the BACK button three time to return to the watch face
To access the hot key, simply hold on the button combination
To exit, press the BACK button
And that’s it!
