6.5 CORRECTION FACTOR

If you get good values with or without calibration, which vary only
minimally in one direction, you can manually correct these values
using the correction factor.

Example:
You know that you have run exactly 2000 m but the running computer
always shows a little more, e.g. 2037 m. The factory setting for the
correction factor is 1.000 and does not effect a change.

Please calculate the correction factor as follows:

k New correction factor =

1.000

x

2000

/

2037

k New correction factor = 0.982

Please enter this new correction factor. For the setting, please see
section 5.4 “Brief guide to device settings”.
