Improving Foot Pod Calibration

Before you can calibrate your device, you must acquire

GPS signals and pair your device with the foot pod

(Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 21)

The foot pod is self-calibrating, but you can improve

the accuracy of the speed and distance data with a few

outdoor runs using GPS.

1 Stand outside for 5 minutes with a clear view of the

sky.

2 Start a running activity.

3 Run on a track without stopping for 10 minutes.

4 Stop your activity, and save it.

Based on the recorded data, the foot pod calibration

value changes, if necessary. You should not need to

calibrate the foot pod again unless your running

style changes.

Sensor
