PERFORMING A TRACK CALIBRATION
Getting Ready
1. Locate a 400 meter outdoor track or a 200 meter indoor track. Most high school
outdoor tracks are 400 meters. Pick any point on the track as your start and finish
line. Be sure to use the inside lane of the track.
2. Warm-up before you calibrate by walking or running for five minutes.
3. Make sure your foot pod is turned on.
4. In CALB mode, press (+) or (-) until "TRAK"
flashes in the upper left quadrant. Press
SELECT and the chronograph will appear in
the lower right quadrant. You are now ready
to perform a track calibration. "WAIT" will be
displayed in the upper left quadrant until the
watch has heard from the foot pod.
For a walking calibration:
1. Move back from the start line about 20 feet. Start walking. When you cross the
starting line, press START/STOP. Maintain an even and natural pace throughout
your walk. Continue past your finish line (one lap of a 400 m track or two laps of a
200 m track) and press START/STOP as you cross the line. The chronograph will
display your time for the calibration. For best results, walk at a normal pace.
2. If the calibration was successful, "OK" will appear in the lower left quadrant of the
display and you are ready to move on. If there was a problem during the
calibration, "Err" will appear in the lower left quadrant. Press START/STOP to
return to the calibration start screen and begin again.
3. If you start a calibration by accident, press START/STOP or MODE to abort.
To achieve highest accuracy, you must calibrate your FS-1. Calibration only
needs to be performed once for a given athlete. You may want to recalibrate
periodically if you notice drift in your readings or if you move the pod to your
opposite foot.
"TRAK" indicates track calibration, while
"MILL" indicates treadmill calibration.
