Going for a Run Using a Foot Pod
Before you go for a run, you must change the profile to running
(Changing Profiles), and pair the foot pod with your device
(Pairing Your ANT+ Sensors).
When your device can not acquire satellite signals, such as
when running indoors on a treadmill, you can use the foot pod
to measure your running distance.

Foot Pod Calibration
Calibrating your foot pod is optional and can improve accuracy.
There are three ways to adjust the calibration: distance, GPS,
and manual.
Calibrating Your Foot Pod by Distance
Before you can calibrate your device, you must pair your device
with the foot pod (Pairing Your ANT+ Sensors).
For best results, the foot pod should be calibrated using the
inside lane of a regulation track or an exact distance. A
regulation track (2 laps = 0.5 mi. or 800 m) is more accurate
than a treadmill.

Calibrating Your Foot Pod Manually
Before you can calibrate your device, you must pair your device

Garmin recommends manual calibration if you know your
calibration factor. If you have calibrated a foot pod with another
Garmin product, you may know your calibration factor.

You can use a compatible bike cadence sensor to send data to
your device.

Sensors).
• Create a custom profile for biking (Creating a Custom
Profile).
• Update your fitness user profile information (Setting Your
Fitness User Profile).
