CALIBRATE
TIPS:
The Calibrate mode is used to set up the POD to be more
accurate in calculating things such as distance and calories
consumed.
•
You may manually calibrate the stride length and steps
per minute to get better accuracy.
•
Additionally, you may get better accuracy by choosing a
longer distance for calibration.
AUTOMATIC ACTIVITY SELECTION
Once calibrated for walking, jogging, and running, the
Fitness Tracker is smart enough to determine which activity
you are performing. This results in more accurate statistics
overall.
MANUAL POD CALIBRATION
Manual POD calibration can be used to get incredibly
accurate calibration. Values can be tweaked to achieve a
high level of accuracy.
NOTE: Please calibrate all activities before using to
ensure product accuracy. If not all activities are calibrated,
please go through manual calibration and copy the step rate
and stride length values from one activity to those that have
not been calibrated.
1. Make sure the POD is turned ON.
2. Press MODE until CALIBRATE appears.
3. Hold SET to calibrate selected activity.
4. Press + / – to select the activity to calibrate (WALK, JOG
or RUN).
AUTOMATIC POD CALIBRATION
Automatic POD calibration is a great way to easily calibrate
the POD without having to know any details about the stride
length and the step rate. Minimum distance for calibration is
100 feet (or 30 meters).
5. Press NEXT and + / – to set each of the Steps per
Minute digits.
6. Press NEXT and + / – to set the stride length.
7. Press NEXT and + / – to set the calibration length for
automatic calibration.
1. Make sure the POD is turned ON.
2. Press MODE until CALIBRATE appears.
