Garmin Edge 540 — All 7 Buttons Explained (Short Press vs Long Press)
HardReset.Info ·
Want to master every button on your GARMIN Edge 540? In this video I show you exactly what each one does, from powering the device to saving a ride. You'll learn that holding the top-left power button turns the unit off (confirming with another press), while short-presses lock the screen or enter sleep mode. The back key undoes actions, and the two middle buttons scroll through menus. You'll use the top-right options/OK button to select items or open settings like the Control Center. At the bottom, pressing play starts recording; holding it stops the session, letting you save or discard the data via the OK button. How to use all buttons on GARMIN Edge 540?
