Calibration by Running Wizard

Before calibration the stride sensor needs to be paired with the training computer. For more information on pairing the stride sensor and training computer, see New Accessory (page 38).

Make sure the stride sensor function in the training computer is on. Press UP to enter MENU and select Settings > Sport profiles > Running> Stride sensor > On.

To calibrate a certain distance with a step-by-step guidance, select

1.MENU > Settings > Sport profiles > Running > Stride sensor calibration > By running. Set distance is displayed.

2.Adjust the distance, how far you wish to run, to calibrate the stride sensor (minimum calibration distance is 400 meters / 0.3 miles). Press START . Stand still until stride sensor is found is displayed.

3.Press OK (START) and run xx.x km/mi is displayed. On the starting line, press START and start your run by taking the first step with your sensor foot and run the preset distance at a steady pace.

4.Press OK (START) after xx.x km/mi is displayed. Stop exactly on the finish line of the preset distance, stand still and press START .

Once you reach the preset distance, stop exactly on the finish line of the preset distance and stand still for calibration. If you move before Calibrated to x.xxx is displayed, the calibration fails.

5.When the calibration succeeds, Calibrated to x.xxx is displayed. The new calibration factor is used. Continue recording? is displayed. If you wish to continue the training session recording, select Yes. Otherwise, select No.

6.To cancel the calibration press BACK, Calibration canceled is displayed.

Set Calibration Factor Manually

The calibration factor is calculated as a ratio of the actual distance to the uncalibrated distance. Example: you run 1200m, and the training computer shows a distance of 1180m, the calibration factor is 1.000. Calculate the new calibration factor as follows: 1.000*1200/1180 = 1.017. The range of the calibration factor during manual calibration is 0.500-1.500. If you define the calibration factor below or above these values, calibration fails.

To calibrate the stride sensor manually before training, select

1.Settings > Sport profiles > Running> Stride sensor > Set factor.

2.Adjust the factor. Calibareted to x.xx is displayed.

The calibration factor can also be set during training, when the stride sensor is in use. Press and hold LIGHT to enter the Quick menu and then select Calibrate stride sensor > Set factor . Calibareted to x.xx is displayed and you can continue running.

Calibrate Sensor by Running a Known Distance (on-the-fly calibration)

Before calibration the stride sensor needs to be paired with the training computer. For more information on pairing the stride sensor and training computer, see New Accessory (page 38).

Set correct lap distance

You can calibrate the sensor at any phase of your training with lap distance correction, provided you are not training with distance-based targets. Just run a known distance, preferably more than 1000 meters / 0,62 miles.

Make sure the stride sensor function in the training computer is on. In time mode press UP to enter MENU and select Settings > Sport profiles > Running> Stride sensor > On.
