To perform the master reset:
  1. Power off watch (press and hold Light, Yes on prompt)†
  2. Press and hold Start/Stop and Lap/Reset
  3. Press and hold Light (three buttons should now be pressed in)
  4. After first beep, release Start/Stop
  5. After second beep, release Lap/Reset
  6. Release Light

The reset on the Forerunner is successful if the device finishes powering up and goes to the setup wizard. Try the steps again if the setup wizard does not appear.

Leave the device outside with a clear view of the sky for a minimum of 20 minutes to acquire satellite data once the reset and setup wizard are complete.

*If the Forerunner 610 is not receiving a satellite signal, perform an AutoLocate before performing a master reset.

†If the Forerunner will not power down, press and hold Light until the watch powers off. This causes the watch to reboot itself.
