Indoor Activities
The Forerunner device can be used for training indoors, such as
running on an indoor track or using a stationary bike. GPS is
turned off for indoor activities.
When running or walking with GPS turned off, speed, distance,
and cadence are calculated using the accelerometer in the
device. The accelerometer is self-calibrating. The accuracy of
the speed, distance, and cadence data improves after a few
outdoor runs or walks using GPS.
TIP: Holding the handrails of the treadmill reduces accuracy.
You can use an optional foot pod to record pace, distance, and
cadence.
When cycling with GPS turned off, speed and distance are not
available unless you have an optional sensor that sends speed
and distance data to the device (such as a speed or cadence
sensor).
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 , page 1 ), and run
at least 1.5 km (1 mi.) on the treadmill.
2
After you complete your run, select STOP .

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.
Outdoor Activities
The Forerunner device comes preloaded with apps for outdoor
activities, such as running and open water swimming. GPS is
turned on for outdoor activities. You can add apps using default
activities, such as walking or rowing. You can also add custom
sport apps to your device ( Creating a Custom Activity , page 2 ).
Multisport
Triathletes, duathletes, and other multisport competitors can
take advantage of the multisport activities, such as Triathlon or
Swimrun. During a multisport activity, you can transition
between activities and continue to view your total time and
distance. For example, you can switch from biking to running
and view your total time and distance for biking and running
throughout the multisport activity.
You can customize a multisport activity, or you can use the
default triathlon activity set up for a standard triathlon.
