Indoor Activities

The Instinct device can be used for training indoors, such as 

running on an indoor track or using a stationary bike. GPS is 

turned off for indoor activities (

Activities and App Settings

page 18

).

When running or walking with GPS turned off, speed, distance, 

and cadence are calculated using the accelerometer in the 

device. The accelerometer is self-calibrating. The accuracy of 

the speed, distance, and cadence data improves after a few 

outdoor runs or walks using GPS.

TIP: 

Holding the handrails of the treadmill reduces accuracy. 

You can use an optional foot pod to record pace, distance, and 

cadence.
When cycling with GPS turned off, speed and distance data are 

not available unless you have an optional sensor that sends 

speed and distance data to the device, such as a speed or 

cadence sensor.

Calibrating the Treadmill Distance

To record more accurate distances for your treadmill runs, you 

can calibrate the treadmill distance after you run at least 1.5 km 

(1 mi.) on a treadmill. If you use different treadmills, you can 

manually calibrate the treadmill distance on each treadmill or 

after each run.

1

Start a treadmill activity (

Starting an Activity

, page 2

).

2

Run on the treadmill until your Instinct Solar Tactical device 

records at least 1.5 km (1 mi.).

3

After you complete your run, press 

GPS

.

4

Select an option:
• To calibrate the treadmill distance the first time, select 

Save

.

The device prompts you to complete the treadmill 

calibration.

• To manually calibrate the treadmill distance after the first-

time calibration, select 

Calibrate & Save

 > 

Yes

.

5

Check the treadmill display for the distance traveled, and 

enter the distance on your device.

Recording a Strength Training Activity

You can record sets during a strength training activity. A set is 

multiple repetitions (reps) of a single move.

The device counts your reps. Your rep count appears when

TIP: 

The device can only count reps of a single move for 

each set. When you want to change moves, you should finish 

the set and start a new one.

5

Press 

BACK

 to finish the set.

The watch displays the total reps for the set. After several 

seconds, the rest timer appears.
