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).
  2. Run on the treadmill until your Forerunner device records at least 1.5 km (1 mi.).
  3. After you complete your run, press STOP.
  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.

    • Check the treadmill display for the distance traveled, and enter the distance on your device.
