SETTING UP THE OPTIONAL FOOT POD
positioning the foot pod
pairing the foot pod
1. Make sure you are at least 30 feet away from other foot pods.
2. Turn on the foot pod.
3. From the menu, open .
4. Set FOOT POD to or .
NOTE: If you set FOOT POD to , the foot pod collects all speed, distance, and cadence data. If you set
FOOT POD to , the foot pod collects cadence data only (the GPS collects speed and distance data).
5. Open and select FOOT POD.
The watch searches for the foot pod. A message displays when the foot pod is found and paired to the
watch.
CaLibrating the foot pod
Calibrate the foot pod before you use it for the most accurate measurements.
There are two ways to calibrate the foot pod. In automatic calibration, you run a known distance and the foot
pod tracks the distance. At the end of the run, you input the actual distance, and the watch calculates the
calibration factor based on the difference between the two values.
You can also enter the calibration factor manually.
The automatic calibration method is preferred because it is generally more accurate.
1. From the menu, open .
2. From the menu, select FOOT POD.
3. Once the foot pod is connected, run a known distance along a track or over a premeasured route.
NOTE: You must run at least 300 m for calibration.
4. When you have reached the desired distance, select STOP.
The calibration factor (the ratio applied to foot pod measurements to ensure accurate calculations) is
automatically calculated.

You can also set the calibration factor by hand. Only do this if you have previously calibrated this foot pod and
know the calibration factor that gives accurate distance measurements.
1. From the menu, open .
2. From the menu, select CAL FACTOR.
NOTE: The calibration factor is determined by taking the KNOWN distance and dividing it by the distance
by the foot pod.
