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 Instinct® Solar Surf device records at least 1.5 km (1 mi.).
  3. After you complete your run, press GPS.
  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.

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