Foot Pod
Your device is compatible with the foot pod. You can use the foot pod to record pace and distance instead of
using GPS when you are training indoors or when your GPS signal is weak. The foot pod is on standby and
ready to send data (like the heart rate monitor).
After 30 minutes of inactivity, the foot pod powers off to conserve the battery. When the battery is low, a
message appears on your device. Approximately five hours of battery life remain.
Calibrating Your Foot Pod
Before you can calibrate your foot pod, you must pair your device with the foot pod (
).
Manual calibration is recommended if you know your calibration factor. If you have calibrated a foot pod with
another Garmin product, you may know your calibration factor.
1 Hold .
2 Select > Sensors > Foot Pod > Cal. Factor.
3 Adjust the calibration factor:
• Increase the calibration factor if your distance is too low.
• Decrease the calibration factor if your distance is too high.
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 55
).
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.
Using an Optional Bike Speed or Cadence Sensor
You can use a compatible bike speed or cadence sensor to send data to your device.
• Pair the sensor with your device (
Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 55
).
• Set your wheel size (
Calibrating Your Speed Sensor, page 56
).
• Go for a ride (
).
Calibrating Your Speed Sensor
Before you can calibrate your speed sensor, you must pair your device with a compatible speed sensor (
Your Wireless Sensors, page 55
).
Manual calibration is optional and can improve accuracy.
1 Hold .
2 Select > Sensors > Speed/Cadence > Wheel Size.
3 Select an option:
• Select Auto to automatically calculate your wheel size and calibrate your speed sensor.
• Select Manual, and enter your wheel size to manually calibrate your speed sensor (
).
