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.
Going for a Run Using a Foot Pod
Before you go for a run, you must pair the foot
pod
with your Forerunner device (
Pairing Your
Wireless
Sensors, page 27
).
You can run indoors using a foot pod to record pace,
distance, and cadence. You can also run outdoors
using a foot pod to record cadence data with your
GPS pace and distance.
1 Install your foot pod according to the
accessory instructions.
2 Select a running activity.
3 Go for a run.
Foot Pod Calibration
The foot pod is self-calibrating. The accuracy of the
speed and distance data improves after a few
outdoor runs using GPS.
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 27
).
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.
Calibrating Your Foot Pod Manually
Before you can calibrate your device, you must pair
your device with the foot pod sensor (
Pairing Your
Wireless Sensors, page 27
).
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 From the watch face, hold UP.
