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).

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).

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.
2. Select Settings > Sensors & Accessories.
3. Select your foot pod.
4. Select Cal. Factor > Set Value.
5. Adjust the calibration factor:
   • Increase the calibration factor if your distance is too low.
   • Decrease the calibration factor if your distance is too high.
