3. Press ON/OFF to turn on watch receiver if not already
on. Wait for steady ANTENNA icon
V
before continuing
calibration.
4. Press + to select activity to calibrate.
5. Hold ON/OFF button to start calibration. Wait for START
WALK, START JOG or START RUN to display on the watch .
6. Start the current activity. For example, if RUN is selected,
start to run.
7. At the end of 100 ft (or 30 meters), press STOP/RESET to
complete calibration.
8. If calibration was successful, CALIBRATE OK is shown on
watch.
NOTE: CALIBRATE FAILED may be shown when there are too
few steps over long period of calibration time or too many
steps over short period of calibration time.
TIPS:
• 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.
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.
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).
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.

• When your step goal has been reached, GOAL MET is
shown and a tone sounds within any mode.
SETTING ACTIVITY FEATURES
In Activity mode, you can set up a step goal, your weight
and the units (US or metric) for all watch functions.
1. Press MODE until ACTIVITY appears.
2. Press and hold SET. Step Goal digit flashes.
3. Press NEXT and + / – to set each of the next Step Goal
digits.
4. Press NEXT and + / – to set each of the weight digits.
5. Press NEXT and + / – to select US or Metric units.
6. Press DONE to confirm and exit.
CALIBRATE
The Calibrate mode is used to set up the POD to be more
accurate in calculating things such as distance and calories
consumed.
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.
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.
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).
1. Make sure the POD is turned ON.
2. Press MODE until CALIBRATE appears.
