CALIBRATING YOUR NIkE+ SPORTBAND
The Nike+ SportBand measures distance to over 90 percent accuracy, right out
of the box. You can improve accuracy by calibrating the sensor to your natural
running and walking strides. for best accuracy, calibrate for both.
Establish a calibration run or walk. Run or walk a known distance at a steady,
natural pace. A running track is a good place for calibration runs and walks,
because measured distances are already marked for you.
You’ll need to run or walk at least 0.5 miles, or 800 meters. Don’t combine
running and walking, or calibration won’t be possible.
After completing your run, remove the SportBand Link and connect it to a USB
port on your computer. When you’ve completed an eligible calibration run, the
message “Calibrate to improve accuracy” will automatically appear in the
status area of the main screen. Click “MORE”, then fine tune your stride by
entering the true distance you ran.
